How to Send Flowers Anonymously

Sending flowers anonymously is a lot easier than you might think. With just a little planning, you can keep the recipient of your floral bouquet guessing for a long while, unless they already suspect your love for them!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Reliable florist
• A little creativity
• Cash or credit card
• Good communication

1. Your best bet in sending flowers anonymously is to use a local florist. That accomplishes two things: One, the management is usually willing to work with you to accommodate your request, and two, you're supporting local business!

2. There are online florists who will honor a request to send flowers anonymously. Usually, you can find if they will do that in their FAQ section, or by searching using the term "sending flowers anonymously".

3. Simply place your order and ask your florist to not include a card and not give out information if called about who sent the flowers. Most businesses will be willing to protect your privacy as a customer in order to ensure repeat business.

4. If you really want to include a card, have the card signed "???" or "Someone who loves you". This creates more mystery - but make sure your anonymity is well-intentioned.

Tips & Warnings

• If you can, pay for your floral purchase in cash. That eliminates a "paper trail" from use of a credit card.
• Always make your request respectful, and make sure it is well-intentioned.
• If the florist refuses, there may be a policy in place, or they may have had a bad experience with sending anonymously in the past. Respect the florist's policy, and if you must, try another florist.
• Don't ever send anything to someone maliciously or with ill intent. Remember, what goes around comes around!
