Yes, flower arrangements are popular gifts to congratulate somebody on their new bundle of joy. You might also choose to include something fun for the new parents along with the new baby gifts. Snacks, lotion, and other self-care items are a great way to remind parents that they need to care for themselves, too. 

While some mothers are scheduled to deliver on certain days, babies often have a way of arriving unexpectedly. For the surprises in life, The Bouqs Co. offers same-day delivery in certain ZIP codes when you order by 11 am PST. That allows you to be one of the first to send congrats flowers to the new parents!

While any farm-fresh flowers will make an amazing gift, some of the most popular new baby flowers include:

• Sunflowers

• Roses

• Daisies

• Marigolds

• Lilies

• Daffodils

• Tulips

• Hydrangeas 

Any bright color is an excellent option. Think outside the pink and blue box! White flowers represent purity, yellow represents happiness, and purple is just plain fun, regardless of the baby’s gender.

You should always call the hospital first to confirm whether they allow flower deliveries. Some hospitals forbid flowers due to allergy risks or limited space in the rooms. Depending on the rules, you might have more luck with a plant delivery.

Also, new parents will likely have their hands full when they leave the hospital, so it might be easier to send flowers to their home, instead.

Of course, you want to include a card with a congrats bouquet! Stumped about what to write? Here are a few ideas:

• Welcome to the world, little one!

• You deserve all the happiness this baby will bring to your life.

• Congratulations on the birth of your new baby boy (or girl)!

• So happy for you! Love just got real.

• You’re going to be amazing parents!
