Flowers for new parents in Muskogee

A new baby is a big moment for the whole family. Call and ask a local florist about flowers for the hospital or for when they get home.

Muskogee Flowers is a free referral line. Your order is taken, arranged and delivered by an independent local florist.

Hospital or home? Ask first

Many Muskogee babies are born at Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee, and some families come from Wagoner, Checotah or Fort Gibson for the birth. Hospital stays after delivery are often short, so flowers can arrive just as everyone is packing to leave.

That is why many people send flowers to the house a day or two after the family gets home. It also avoids any rules about flowers in the maternity unit or the NICU, where flowers are often not allowed.

Soft pinks, blues and yellows are common, but there are no rules. A cheerful mixed bouquet works for any baby. Some people add a balloon or a small stuffed animal if the florist carries them. See balloons and flowers.

Ideas

Make it easy for them

  • Skip strong scent

    New parents and newborns may be sensitive to fragrance.

  • Low maintenance

    A vase arrangement or plant that does not need much care.

  • Check NICU rules

    If the baby is in intensive care, flowers may not be allowed. Send them home instead.

Questions

Good to know before you call

Can flowers go to the maternity floor?

Often yes, but rules vary. Check with the family or the unit first.

When is the best time to send?

A day or two after they get home is popular.

Can I send flowers for a big sibling too?

Ask the florist about a small extra arrangement or balloon.
