How to write a flower tag, as taught by a florist
There are several things to keep in mind when sending flowers as an offering or celebration, but one of the most important things to consider is how to write the tag.
We will explain from a florist's perspective the situations in which tags should be attached, how to write them depending on the purpose, and what you should check before ordering.
Do I have to attach a tag?
When we receive an order for an offering or celebration, we always ask, "Would you like a talisman included?"
At that time, I am often asked the opposite question: "Should I attach a tag?"
The tag's role is like a name tag, allowing you to identify who gave it to you.
For this reason, we recommend attaching a tag when sending flowers as a memorial to someone other than a family member, or when it is expected that flowers will be sent from many people, such as at a company or store opening celebration.
However, some people may find the word "bill" to sound a bit pretentious.
It's not necessarily something you "have to wear."
If you are giving a gift to someone close to you or would prefer not to reveal their name, we also have slightly more casual message cards available.

Are there any rules for how to write it?
There are rules for how to write on the tags.
There are three points you need to keep in mind. I will explain them in order.
① Heading
It clearly communicates to the person who sees the flowers what purpose the flowers were given for.
For celebrations, vermilion (red) is used to mean "celebration."
When making an offering, it is common to write "offering" in light ink (black).
Depending on the occasion, there are various patterns for celebrations, such as "Congratulations on the opening of a business" or "Congratulations on ◯◯." "Congratulations on ◯◯" gives a polite impression, while "Congratulations on ◯◯" gives a more casual impression.
It is best to choose a pattern that is appropriate for your relationship with the recipient.

② Name of recipient
Festive businesses and stores
The name of the recipient may be included.
Write the company name, store name, or company name (store name) + your name.
The same applies when making it clear who the flowers are for, such as at an exhibition or presentation.
This is not an item that you must fill out, but when you do fill it out, be sure to make sure that the company name and your name are spelled correctly so as not to be rude.
In the case of offerings, the name of the deceased is generally not written.
③Name of the giver
It is usually written whether it is a celebration or an offering.
Please enter your company name and name or your personal name.
If several people are sending flowers together, it is possible to list all the names on the gift.
In this case, write the names in order, with the person on the right being the senior.
The tag can also be written horizontally.
What should I check in advance?
✔︎What is the purpose of this flower?
✔︎Name of recipient and giver
✔︎Official company name and title
For those who don't often have the opportunity to give flowers, "cards" can be considered unknown territory.
Be sure to follow proper etiquette when giving flowers to someone in a pleasant manner.
