A little extra for a big day
A balloon tied to a bouquet makes a delivery feel like a party. It is a common add-on for birthdays, new babies, graduations and get well gifts. Whether it is available depends on the florist, so ask on the call.
One thing to check: some hospital units do not allow latex balloons because of allergies, and some do not allow balloons at all. Mylar balloons are often allowed where latex is not. Our hospital flower guide covers that.
If the florist does not do balloons, ask what else they can add, like a small plush toy or a card. Or pick up a balloon yourself if you are delivering in person.
