This is an important step. Skip scribbling something on that attached blank card and you risk minimizing your points-earning effort.

OK, now what should you write? …It depends! What's your reason for sending the flowers anyway?

Examples below may help with that "writer's block."

Anytime flowers cards can simply read "I love you." Since "Thinking of you" has been overdone by flower commercials, consider "Thinking of you and that/your [insert something she did you liked here]."

Post-first-date flower cards should be a bit more guarded. Don’t write here your most intimate secrets - keep things simple. Simply scrawl "I had a great time." Make sure to add your first name …since you never know.  Back to Index

Post-romantic evening cards can safely delve into passionate messages. However, you shouldn’t be crude. Think, "I can’t stop thinking about you." or "My feet haven’t touched the ground."

Special occasion flower cards should be more effusive (i.e., think "deep mush") and personal. But keep things short. Consider referencing the special occasion. For anniversaries, consider "Looking forward to another wonderful year." For birthdays, consider "Happy Birthday, (insert her pet name here)."

For a job promotion gift card, think "I thought these would look great on your new desk/in your new office" or simply, "I’m so proud of you." Of course, "I love you" always works for all the above.  Back to Index

Doghouse flower cards should be sincere, but should never grovel. Consequently, "I’m begging you" or "Please forgive me" are definitely out. Keep your message short; don’t write an incriminating novel. Consider something like "I’m sorry," "Let’s talk" or, if you must, "You were right."
