Step 1
Order your Mother's Day flowers well ahead of time. If you can, place your order at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance. You can either call the florist nearest to your mother's house, or you can call a national flower-delivery service that can find a florist near your mother's home and arrange for delivery.
-
Step 2
Provide your own card to be delivered with the flowers, or dictate a message over the phone and have the florist add it to your bouquet.
-
Step 3
Call the florist or delivery service 1 or 2 days before Mother's Day to confirm the delivery. Let her know which delivery time would be best and whether there are any special steps she needs to take, such as calling first or getting a key code to get into a gated community.
-
Step 4
Ask the florist to suggest a modestly priced arrangement if you have a tight budget. Perhaps, for example, he might suggest a bouquet containing daisies, baby's breath and ivy. Roses become much more expensive on Mother's Day than they are during the rest of the year.

Step 5
Ask the florist whether he has any gifts that can be delivered along with the bouquet. Some florists have candy, statuettes and other gift items they can deliver when they drop off the flowers.
