Need Help Writing the Card Messages Sent with Your Flowers?

When you send flowers through our local florists, they will include a personal message, either handwritten or printed, on a card with the bouquet. These flower cards are typically small, so it's best to keep your message short and sweet. Remember to include your name so the recipient knows who sent the thoughtful gift. Crafting a heartfelt message that captures your feelings can be challenging, so we have compiled some card message suggestions for various occasions. Whether you're celebrating a holiday, sending congrats, offering support during a tough time, or simply brightening someone's day, our suggested card messages can help convey your sentiments with warmth and sincerity. Feel free to use these templates or personalize your message to better reflect your feelings. Our goal is to help you express your thoughts in the most heartfelt way possible.

Get Well Soon Card Messages

If you know the recipient well enough (and you know they'll appreciate it), a little humor is sometimes just the thing to brighten someone's day in the hospital. However, if they are more serious or you're not very close, it's safer to stick with more formal sentiments. Try these get well soon messages:

  • I am sorry you are not feeling well. I am praying for you to have a complete and quick recovery
  • Feel better and get well soon. We miss you!
  • If I told you to "get well soon," it wouldn't be soon enough. Get well now!
  • Hope your recovery is a speedy one. We miss you!
  • Sending loads of love your way for a speedy recovery!
  • Our thoughts are with you. Get well soon!
  • Hope your surgery [GOES/WENT] well, and that your recovery is quick!
  • Heard that you've been under the weather. Hope things clear up soon.

Sympathy Card Messages

Most people have a fear that they are going to upset or offend the person who will receive their sympathy words. Try not to use phrases like "I know what you are going through" - the reason is that you probably don't know what the person is going through, and even if you do it can come across as minimizing the suffering and pain the receiving person is feeling. Try one of these sympathy messages in your next card:

  • Please accept these flowers and hear the words we are not able to speak
  • You are in my thoughts and prayers
  • With love to you and your family
  • My thoughts are with you at your time of need
  • I want you to know that I am here for you at this time of grieving
  • Thinking of you in these difficult times
  • Please know our loving thoughts embrace you
  • Our deepest sympathies during your time of loss. Please know that we are here for you.
  • Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are sorry for your loss.
  • In loving memory of [NAME], [HE/SHE] will be missed dearly.
  • Please accept our condolences on the loss of your [MOTHER/FATHER/OTHER RELATION].
  • Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. From all your friends at [BUSINESS NAME]

Apologies/I'm Sorry Card Messages
