When you do stop buying your girlfriend flowers or gifts??
you don't buy gifts because you have to you buy them because you want to and want to show her some appreciation. I personally can't stand getting flowers. they die. I don't mind a plant as long as they come back every year. Remember you don't want to get into the habit of "buying" her love. it should be spontaneous. I enjoy gifts more when they come as a surprise and not expecting them.
Reply:You should never stop. Unless the person asks you to.
Reply:Seems like they stop buying flowers and gifts when they think they "have" you.
Reply:When you want to quit getting laid!
Reply:When she stopped being my girlfriend and became that four letter word----WIFE!
Reply:There should not be a question of when you stop.... if you stop spontaneously buying her flowers then the spark is gone. A woman always loves to get flowers even if you have been married for one year or fifty years... When there is no special occasion and you show up with flowers that just makes the woman feel appreciated. Never STOP that is the truth
Reply:When you no longer have any need for your testicles.
Reply:never
Reply:As long as you want her to be your girlfriend! For kiss of death, just miss her birthday or a special holiday!
Reply:A). Never
B). When you're dead.
C). When she doesn't like you anymore
Reply:when do you start?
Reply:When she is dead. I've been married to my girlfriend since 1980 and I always buy her flowers and gifts. Maybe that's why I've been married for 26 years.
Reply:Forever plus a day
did I promise my love
It's a plan God set
From the heavens above
Stop buying or giving gifts to my gf/wife?
I don't think so.
Reply:You don't. A girl always loves to get flowers or gifts of some kind. Even if you don't buy the flowers, pick them yourself. As for the gifts, make something with your own hands. We don't just appreciate the gifts that you spent money on...The ones that are filled with love and time are the best.
Reply:Last time to buy flowers is at her funeral
Reply:When I die, I guess. Can't really buy stuff anymore then :) Until then, I believe I have a right to spoil her.
Reply:NEVER NEVER NEVER. If you like her spoil her and treat her good. She may love you for ever.
Reply:Sadly, too extreemmmeeee (however he spells it) is absolutely right. I have gotten flowers a couple times since we've been married (two whole fat years) but nothing like i did when he was still "wooing."
Damn it I was ROBBED!!!!
Reply:If I catch my gf cheating on me, not only she won't get flowers or gifts nor will she get a "pony ride" on me.
Reply:Sorry, but when she's your EX girlfriend.
Reply:when she became my wife. Then I started buying flowers and gifts for my wife instead and I haven't stopped
Reply:YOU DONT START!
ONCE YOU START YOU SET A PRECEDENCE(SPELLING?)
Reply:do not start buying them so no need to stop
Reply:I think you're asking when you stop buying the gifts right? You don't stop.....gifts or flowers are a way a male can show his interest, emotion, sympathy, love, etc. for a women. If that stops it doesn't go to say that the feelings are gone, but come on....it's a way to show appreciation or concern, mostly forgiveness (LOL/JK fellas!) so when it stops...I'd assume the feelings did to. I receive gifts and flowers from my boyfriend, but only on occasions (Holidays, Birthdays....you know). I suppose it would be nice to get it just because...guess my guys not that clever!
Reply:NEVER. If you are buying the the gifts and flowers to woo her. Then you are being a fake. Be true, why make her think you are going to shower her forever, if it is just a ploy to attract her and then stop after you have achieved your goal? That is kind of sad.
Reply:you don't ever if he loves you, no reason needed and it should never be a chore its the gift of sharing love. Thank You
Reply:Never stop buying your loved one a little gift now and then, always remember her birthday and Valentines. Expensive gifts are not necessary but something with some thought behind it. Don't always buy her flowers, buy her something with thought put into the gift, not just something easy for you to do.
Reply:AFTER I FIND A NEW ONE.
Reply:You don't stop buying her gifts. If you truly love her you will buy her something nice for her birthday, Valentines day, Christma, or when she is going through a rough time
Reply:never quit

Men if your gf had more money than you would u still buy her gifts/flowers and take her out to diner or expect
her to go "dutch"?

This is something you need to discuss with her. Let her know how you feel. Honesty is the best policy.
Personally, I would pick up the check here and there to help ease the burdon of one person always paying the bill. Before we were married, my now husband really enjoyed my picking up the tab once in a while. We both earn about the same amount of money, so it wasn't that one of us had more than the other, it was just courtesy, in my opinion.
Reply:Personally, while I have no problem treating him to dinner or a movie from time to time, I'm still tradtional. If you can't afford to take me out to dinner, the least you can do it cook something at home.
Reply:You should always make sure you treat her like a lady. She will pay for things when needed, but it shouldnt be expected.
Going "dutch" is just for friends- not people in dating relationships.
Reply:No doubt....that tells her that her money dont matter...so once its all good i can slow my spending down and she can cake me up like that true playa that i am. Got to plant them seeds in her head.
Reply:I earn more than my fiance just now, as he progresses through the levels at work and he will end up earning a lot more than me, he still buys me things, he pays for dinners out etc, but on the other hand I pay the bills and the council tax, he doesn't pay any bills except his half of the rent and his travel expenses to get to work, I think that works out fairly. We both contribute equally but in different areas. I also pay for my fair share of drinks if we go to the pub.
Reply:I would still buy her stuff but I would expect her to pick up the check a few times and pay for a few rounds. My girlfriend is in school and has no job so I buy everything and it gets very old spending over $100 for one night out on the town. I think there should be an agreement made for money.
Reply:Me and my bf have been dating for almost 2 years.. When we first starting dating he was the one with allthe money since i was stil going to school. After about a year of us dating, I graduated school and starting working. I was making more money then he was and I really didnt have any bills. Every once and a while I pay for stuff, even if its just a burger and fries at MCD's. Everything counts. But if its not like you are buying her flowers with ur rent money, I would still do it. Girls love to get things. You can always ask her to, believe me I would rather that my bf asked me before he did some of the things he did. good luck

Flowers kept inside that last longest this time of the year?
I want to buy some flowers as a gift for a sick lady who must stay in bed. And i would like them to last a long time! I asked a florist. He said any type will, if taken care of. But she won't be able to change water or give it any Plant food!
Flowers kept inside that last longest this time of the year?
Lillies are good fhey will last for weeks,
Reply:How about those amaryllis blooming kits, begonia, chrismas cactus, pointsetia, africain violet.
Reply:The plant food could be added at the time of arranging, and of course water changes could be given by visitors or family. Most florists provide flowers that last long nowadays; although some of course last longer than others. Mums are a good example; they seem to last forever. But they are not everyone's flower. Buy something you think will mean something to her; or that is pretty and gives joy when looked at. Use your judgment; that is the best gift as it comes from your heart with her in mind!
Reply:the flowers that last the longest in my house are carnations.
i never add the the plant food and change the water about
once a week.

How to preserve fresh flowers for a long time.?
I wana send fresh flowers as gift to my beloved and it would take around 6 days for the delivery. I want to know in details how to pack the flowers and keep it fresh for her to receive with joy and fervour as it is her birthday.
How to preserve fresh flowers for a long time.?
Forget it.... they won't last. You'd be much better off contacting a florist that has FTD... they will make sure she gets her flowers fresh.... You can call any FTD florist in your area and they will contact another FTD florist near where your beloved is and they will deliver the flowers fresh.
Here's a link... you can even order online
http://www.ftd.com/528/
Reply:The Redesign Diva is RIGHT ON POINT. I sent flowers this way while overseas. Also, to family and friends that live in other states. This way is WAY better than trying to send flowers through the mail. As hot as it is, and we are talking six days!!!......anything you do to preserve them might be in vain, and also add to shipping weight/cost. It is not written that all the mail/package processing locations in route will be cool or condusive to preserving flowers. On top of that, I don't think I have seen a refrigerated USPS, UPS, DHL, or FedEx truck.
There is another option, besides FTD, there is Teleflora, just to give you a couple to choose from. Personally, I have had better results with FTD. You can even provide the words you want on the attached card, as well as add other things like balloons, etc. You have the option to 'do it up', or just keep it simple. Your beloved should feel special and loved getting flowers delivered. The mail man comes 6 days a week. LOL
GOOD LUCK, and hope this helps.

What is the best method to preserve flowers?
I was given some fresh flowers as a gift today which have alot of sentimental value. Should I just hang them upside down or is there a better way?
Thank you.
What is the best method to preserve flowers?
Here ya go:
Methods
Hanging
Air drying or hanging is the easiest and best method for preserving flowers. As a general rule, flowers need only to have the leaves removed and to be hung upside down in a warm, dry, dark place until the moisture content is greatly reduced. An attic, closet, or pantry is often an ideal place; avoid basements, porches, or garages, where dampness may ruin specimens.
Divide the flowers into small bunches to avoid crowding or crushing. The stems of the flowers can be tied together with twine, wire, pipe cleaners, rubber bands, or anything that will hold them securely yet not break the stems. Hang the flowers from a nail driven into an attic rafter, along the wall of a closet, from coat hangers suspended from a crossbar, from a clothesline or from a self-supporting drying rack.
Air drying flowers may take from one to two weeks or more depending on the moisture content of the cut stems and relative humidity. Some flowers should be picked for air drying in the bud stage, or partially opened, as they will continue to open while drying. Others must be picked when they are fully mature.
Suggested flowers to air dry include: strawflowers, goldenrod, hydrangeas, celosia (crested and plumed types), Queen Anne's lace, statice, baby's breath, millet, globe amaranth, salvia, Xeranthemum and many of the "everlastings."
Glycerine
This chemical replaces the water in the plant material, making the preserved plant supple and long-lasting. To use this method, the plant material needs to be gathered in a fully hydrated (non-wilted) state. Use two parts of water to one part of glycerine, making sure the water is luke warm for better mixing and faster absorption. Ordinary car antifreeze will work. If the autumn colors are showing, it may be too late to preserve them in glycerine.
Where leaves only are used, they should be submerged completely in the glycerine-water solution. Where leaves attached to stems are used, then only the stems are immersed into the solution. The time required for completing the preservation process varies, but expect two to perhaps three weeks before the glycerine solution reaches the leaf tips.
If the samples appear to wilt after removal from the solution, then hang them upside down so the glycerine will migrate to leaf and branch tips. For beginners who are looking for assured first-time satisfaction, Mollucella laevis (Bells-of-Ireland) easily absorbs the glycerine solution and shows a wide color variation.
Pressing
Pressing is a very easy way to preserve flowers although the relief is lost and the flowers are flat. Unglazed paper, such as newsprint or an old telephone book, is best for pressing. Spread the flowers so they do not overlap between several thicknesses of newspaper. Additional layers of paper and flowers can be built up and then covered with a board or piece of cardboard before pressing down with a heavy object. The time required for drying, depending on the flower size or tissue content, can be anywhere from two to four weeks.
The process can be speeded by placing a stack of papers and flowers over a light bulb. Storing pressed flowers is not a problem because they usually are not removed until they are used.
Flowers to press include: aster, bleeding heart, buttercup, chrysanthemum, columbine, cosmos, dahlia, dogwood, English daisy, geranium, larkspur, lily-of-the-valley, marigold, pansy, poppy, rose, sweet pea, violet, and zinnia.
--------------------------------------...
Drying Agents
Sand Drying
Sand must be very fine, clean, dry, and preferably salt free. Sifting is recommended to remove coarse grains and foreign particles. Rinsing the sand in water several times to remove any soil is also recommended. Damp sand can be dried in an oven by placing in shallow pans and baking at 250 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure to use only flowers in their prime and process them quickly to prevent wilting.
To dry with sand, place an inch or two of sand in a container; scoop away a small amount of sand to form a depression on the surface; place the flower head upright in this depression and press the sand in and around the outside of the flower to support it. Next, scoop a little sand into your hand and allow it to trickle in a fine stream around each petal. Start with the outer petals and work inward row by row, allowing the sand to build up equally on all sides of each petal so its position and shape are not altered. Flowers dried with sand are fragile so be very careful when removing them from the sand. Store in a strong carton to protect the petals from breaking.
Homemade Agents
Various mixtures can be made with ingredients found in most kitchens. For example, use equal proportions of powdered pumice and yellow corn meal or equal proportions of borax and yellow corn meal. To each quart of either of the mixtures, add 3 tablespoons of salt (non-iodized). Other grain cereals such as Wheatena or Cream of Wheat can be substituted for corn meal. These mixtures are usually heavier than sand or silica gel, but they work well. Apply the mixture like the sand as described above but in an open container placed in a warm, dry location for about two weeks.
Silica Gel
Silica gel can be found in most garden centers, nurseries, florist, or hobby shops. It absorbs moisture from flowers rapidly, thus preserving flower color better than other drying methods. Most flowers will dry in 36 to 48 hours.
Use silica gel in an airtight container or it will absorb moisture from the air, not from the flower tissues. You can redry the silica gel in a warm oven (not in a microwave) and reuse it for other flowers later. Winifrede Morrison's book Drying %26amp; Preserving Flowers gives details on the use of silica gel. Flowers that dry well in either borax or silica gel include: rose, aster, carnation, marigold, dahlia, larkspur, geranium, zinnia, chrysanthemum and delphinium.
One word of caution when using the homemade agents or silica gel: the flowers will sometimes reabsorb moisture and wilt. For best success with flowers dried in an agent, display your flowers in a closed container to keep out dust and high humidity.
Microwave Drying
Drying flowers in a microwave oven is becoming popular with some homeowners. Since flowers vary in moisture content, texture and density, care should be taken to use the same sized flowers from one species at a time.
Since research data is unavailable and experience is limited at this time, homeowners are advised to use caution in microwave drying techniques.
This is a silica gel flower drying method. It has been found that many flowers held almost true to life color and form using this process.
Brightly colored flowers dry best. Flowers such as lilies, roses, violets, zinnias, and dahlias work well with this process.
Needed are silica gel, a container safe for the microwave, and fresh flowers. Spent flowers will look spent, and fall apart!
The following is part of a chart from the cookbook Introduction to Touchmatic Cooking with the Amana Radarange:
--------------------------------------...
Minimum Amount
Flower* Heating Time** of Standing Time
--------------------------------------...
Carnation 2-1/2 to 3 min. This is the area
where I depart from
my cookbook's
instructions.
Daffodil 1-1/2 to 2 min.
Pansy -
1st drying 45 sec.
2nd drying 1-1/2 min.
Rose 1-1/2 min.
Sunflower 1-3/4 min.
Violet 1-1/2 to 2 min.
Zinnia 2 to 2-1/2 min.
--------------------------------------...
* If the flower you are drying is not on the list,
select one that is near to it in size and form.
**Heating time is on full power.
Method
Partially fill a container with silica gel, place flower in container stem side down. Slowly sift the silica gel around the flower until it is covered.
Place the container in the oven. Place 1 cup of water in the rear left corner of the Radarange. Heat on full power. Check the chart for time. Large flowers take longer heating times.
Important! After heating, the flower must stand in the silica gel until the silica gel is cool. This takes much longer than the instructions given in the cookbook. Not letting the flower stand long enough may be the reason many people experience failures. Don't try to remove any flower for two hours; generally from four to six hours is needed. If the flower is removed too soon it will be warm and limp, and will not be able to hold its form.
The following is a list of other flowers and times that are suggested:
Verbena (four flowers) . . . 75 sec.
Miniature rose (three flowers) . . . 70 sec.
Dahlia (3") 1� . . . 2 min.
Keep a notebook of each container of flowers you "cook." You will soon discover the best times for your favorite flowers, and you won't have to rediscover this next summer.
Your flowers should be sprayed with a clear matt finish to keep them from rehydrating.

Winifrede Morrison's book Drying %26amp; Preserving Flowers gives details on the use of silica gel. Flowers that dry well in either borax or silica gel include: rose, aster, carnation, marigold, dahlia, larkspur, geranium, zinnia, chrysanthemum and delphinium.
One word of caution when using the homemade agents or silica gel: the flowers will sometimes reabsorb moisture and wilt. For best success with flowers dried in an agent, display your flowers in a closed container to keep out dust and high humidity.
Microwave Drying
Drying flowers in a microwave oven is becoming popular with some homeowners. Since flowers vary in moisture content, texture and density, care should be taken to use the same sized flowers from one species at a time.
Since research data is unavailable and experience is limited at this time, homeowners are advised to use caution in microwave drying techniques.
This is a silica gel flower drying method. It has been found that many flowers held almost true to life color and form using this process.
Brightly colored flowers dry best. Flowers such as lilies, roses, violets, zinnias, and dahlias work well with this process.
Needed are silica gel, a container safe for the microwave, and fresh flowers. Spent flowers will look spent, and fall apart!
The following is part of a chart from the cookbook Introduction to Touchmatic Cooking with the Amana Radarange:
--------------------------------------...
Minimum Amount
Flower* Heating Time** of Standing Time
--------------------------------------...
Carnation 2-1/2 to 3 min. This is the area
where I depart from
my cookbook's
instructions.
Daffodil 1-1/2 to 2 min.
Pansy -
1st drying 45 sec.
2nd drying 1-1/2 min.
Rose 1-1/2 min.
Sunflower 1-3/4 min.
Violet 1-1/2 to 2 min.
Zinnia 2 to 2-1/2 min.
--------------------------------------...
* If the flower you are drying is not on the list,
select one that is near to it in size and form.
**Heating time is on full power.
Method
Partially fill a container with silica gel, place flower in container stem side down. Slowly sift the silica gel around the flower until it is covered.
Place the container in the oven. Place 1 cup of water in the rear left corner of the Radarange. Heat on full power. Check the chart for time. Large flowers take longer heating times.
Important! After heating, the flower must stand in the silica gel until the silica gel is cool. This takes much longer than the instructions given in the cookbook. Not letting the flower stand long enough may be the reason many people experience failures. Don't try to remove any flower for two hours; generally from four to six hours is needed. If the flower is removed too soon it will be warm and limp, and will not be able to hold its form.
The following is a list of other flowers and times that are suggested:
Verbena (four flowers) . . . 75 sec.
Miniature rose (three flowers) . . . 70 sec.
Dahlia (3") 1� . . . 2 min.
Keep a notebook of each container of flowers you "cook." You will soon discover the best times for your favorite flowers, and you won't have to rediscover this next summer.
Your flowers should be sprayed with a clear matt finish to keep them from rehydrating.
Reply:Well, answered and then deleted it!
James has said it all, good answer!
Reply:you put them in between the pages of a huge book...such as the dictionary or bible or a harry potter book...put the book back on the shelf and it will press your flowers...and just an fyi...flower juice will probably get onto the pages of the book so you might not want to pick your absolute favorite book =P
Good Luck!

Reply:Take a picture of them. Preserve the picture and the memories. In a few days..throw the flowers in the trash. Things don't last forever. Memories do.
Since guys buy women gifts, flowers and dinner in exchange for sex, does this make all women prostitutes?
Don't forget that housewives are always ahving sex with their husbands and asking them for money moments thereafter.
Since guys buy women gifts, flowers and dinner in exchange for sex, does this make all women prostitutes?
Not necessarily, if you're up for more than a one nite stand %26amp; it actually turns into something all your efforts will return to you ten-fold. Lots of women don't have a problem paying for dinner, buying gifts, etc. Some women will do that w/out a relationship, I can't tell you where any of 'em are though.
Reply:not all people think the way u think
im not like what u are, i give her gifts not in exchange for anything
it's just a way of expressing out ur love for her
Reply:Not all women, only the ones accepting the gifts, flowers, and dinner. But you wont get a woman to agree with you.
Reply:Huh, oh you're the one that was asking if he should sleep with his neighbour while his WIFE is in hospital for a while after a serious car accident.
Reply:In a way depending what freakin women would give sex for a box of cheap chocolate and BOUND to die flowers
where the heck did you get this from
heheh
guess it does apply if theey are guilty
Reply:Wow, I never thought of it this way, I seem to think that one can look at it the way you put it. Men and women all over the world have partaken in this activity---this is an age old game. Men know that gifts, or the right words, or doing chores will win a mate over. Girls get mistreated and hold back----it is a big game...but I would never ever say this prostitution thing to a woman---very very bad choice of words. Stick to what works--flowers, candy, vacuum the house, etc.
Reply:why are you buying gifts for sex you must be a real dork if i like someone i don't need gifts dinner or what ever to have sex with them if we like each other i don't think it's a matter of how many gifts one gets or if they get no gifts at all a relationship should not be determind on the amount of gifts dinners ect i think you are insulting women here buddy.
Reply:WELL, I'VE NEVER HAD A MAN BUY ME ANYTHING.
MY HOUSE: I BOUGHT IT, MY CAR: I BOUGHT IT, MY CLOTHES, JEWELRY, FURNITURE AND SHOES: I BOUGHT ALL OF IT WITH MY HARD EARNED MONEY I RECEIVED FROM WORKING A LEGAL JOB!
I SAY THAT MAKES ME INDEPENDENT.
Reply:No! But I just term it. "Legal Prostitution". It's been like that, for the ages. They want to be showered with gifts. And we want to be taken to Paradise. Hopefully, both get what they want.

Funeral etiquette - flowers, gift etc, what to do?
My best friend's, daughters' baby has passed away after 3 months of life. I've never been to a funeral before (amazing but true) and am not sure what to do. Should I take flowers (wreath, boquet or what) or is it better to give a gift to the baby's mother instead. If so what kind of gift is appropriate. The baby was a little boy.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Funeral etiquette - flowers, gift etc, what to do?
You could send flowers to the funeral parlor for the wake. In an obituary, it will say if they would like flowers or some people want donations made in the deceased's name. (like to a children's hospital where your friends granddaughter was seen.) I would ask your friend what would be good to bring, if anything. You don't want to make her more upset. A good bet is sending a sympathy card in advance. I'm sorry for your friend's loss, his/her daughter's baby will be in my prayers tonight.
Reply:I agree with musicmen. A friend of mine gave me a single white rose at my mother's funeral (sympathy) and a single pink rose at my dad's funeral (to show that life still goes on). Please give your friend my sincere condolences. As for what flower(s) would be appropriate for this situation, please consult a florist.
Take care.
Reply:Wow, very sorry to hear that. I would see if they have an account set up for the family. Chances are since the baby was so young, they didnt' have any insurance for him or her and funeral arrangements are not cheap. One less thing for your friends to worry about.
Flowers are beautiful, but they have to move them from the funeral home and they don't last long.
Reply:Usually people have a flower basket or vase delivered to the funeral home handling the service...or you can make a donation in the childs name to a charity...for example Children's Hospital. Also if the young mom is uninsured, you may want to give her some money in a sympathy card so that she can use it toward such a sad and unexpected expense. Most importantly...is to be there for your friend and her daughter
Reply:There are some good suggestions here, but please don't forget (I'm assuming here) that the baby also has a father who will probably be just as devastated as the mother...
For myself, I would check with my friend as to what the protocol would be....flowers or a donation...she will be the one who knows how her grandchild's parents are feeling.
I am so sorry for their loss...
Reply:Your local florist will advise you on what to send. I can't think of any appropriate gift for the grieving mother. How terribly sad.
Reply:you could just bring flowers. bring one for the child to put on the casket. and one for the mother.
all your friend really needs is to know is that she has a good friend that will be there for her when she needs you.
Reply:Giving a donation to an appropriate charity is always appreciated. The charity usually lets the family know that you gave a gift if you can give them your friends name and address. A plant that can continue to grow is a wonderful memorial to a loved one (Hydrangeas or Azaleas are nice). It would be appropriate to give the gift to either your friend or her daughter since both are grieving. You can take it to the funeral or their house before or after.
Reply:just flowers.... and because its your best friend just make sure your there for her always and help her do anything
Reply:You can send flowers, however during a funeral their will be many people sending flowers. Give money in that persons honor as that money will help cover the cost of the funeral.
PS- Bring kleenex, you need it!
Reply:check and see with your best friend if you could send over food (be sure to verify any allergies, etc beforehand).
grieving families often have so much on their minds that they tend not to eat very well during this sad time.
you could even see if you could organize a group of people to provide dinner for the daughter %26amp; her family for a week or two.

show him you are still in love when him with gifts and words plan specialt time alone with him show him that he is still the same man you fell in love from the beginning sometimes an man's ego can be deflated over silly things that would seem trival to any one else but it weighs on his own mind that he feels unworthy to try anything

Reply:talk to him...
go to psychiatric...
Reply:Good deeds does not mean that a man is loyal. He may be guilty as hell and giving you gifts is only trying to make him feel better about it. If your husband is doing all of these things he could sleep with you in the same bed and show his love but he isn't. This would be a red flag flying high and I would watch him very closely. If he is having an errection problem or something like that he can go to a doctor and get help for that and the same goes if he is having psychological problems. I would be having a serious heart to heart talk with my husband because I would need some answers if he was denying me intimacy in our relationship. Something is really wrong here and I would get to the bottom of it sweetie.

Do you know if they keep the flowers or gifts that people buy to put on the inside of the casket or do they?
Take them out?
I was going to send a satin cross pillow that has flowers on it with a ribbon that says my cousins name on it. It is meant to go on the inside of the casket, do they remove things like this before burial or what?
(My 11 year old cousin was killed monday in a car wreck)
Thank you

The funeral home director will obey the wishes of the family in respect to objects left to be interred with the body within reason.
Talk to them and him.
Reply:Excellent choice.
Sorry again for your loss Report It
Reply:It depends on the wishes of the family, and if it's a closed/open casket, of course. My mom was buried with her rosary in her hands, and no one put anything else in the casket.
Sorry to hear about your cousin. S/he's with God now.
Reply:you must just tell them how you want it they won't take it out.
let you heart heal and know that im here praying with you,as i pray for my strength also.i lost a cousin too on tuesday you know
Reply:That all depends on what the family wants. If your aunt and uncle don't want your cousin buried with it, then the funeral home will remove it and someone in the family can take it with them. Otherwise, the flowers may be removed before burial but the pillow won't be.

What are some other good gifts to buy my wife to show her that I care other than flowers under say $25 or so?
I have been buying my wife flowers every week for about a month now. I have noticed that she is a diffrent person since I started this. It a very good $10 dollar a week "investment" lol. She say she feels loved more when she gets them. I'm afraid they are becoming "old hat" What else could I buy her with/instead of the flowers?
What are some other good gifts to buy my wife to show her that I care other than flowers under say $25 or so?
Things that she might like to use. For instance a really nice album for pics of your two favorite people "mommy %26amp; baby". Take pics and put them in the album for her. Something to make her life easier in the kitchen. Appliances. There is jewelry available for under 25 bucks at most discount stores that are not investments but can give the sweet message that you are thinking of her. Prepare meals for her. Help around the house. Let her pamper herself. Get her a gift certificate to get her nails done one afternoon. Tell her how you feel about her in a letter.
Reply:Maybe a small bottle of perfume or a box of candy...or maybe a little stuffed animal or sentimental book.
Reply:Pedicure!
Reply:Abox of candy, an inexpensive piece of jewelry, a book by an author she loves, her favorite perfume
Reply:To ME... it's not how much $$ you spend, but what you do w/ the time you have together...
Great idea to have the dinner ready when she's not expecting it, w/ a clean kitchen to boot! Afterwards-- give her time to unwind.
Bubblebath: set the scene w/ a great scented bubble bath, and candles. It's not for the both of you, it's for HER (unless, of course, she invites you to join her).
Laundry: who usually does this? Even if you assist when not expected (and don't mention you did it) that's a BIG WOW in my book! Same w/ other misc chores. Just helping when not in the norm is a huge "i love you" gesture.
Leave her little LOVE notes in places she won't expect them, attach a Hersheys Kiss. On her pillow, on the table next to her keys, next to her toothbrush, etc. The more you do for her, the more it will be reciprocated. It *MUST* be from the heart though.
Reply:A night at home....for her to do nothing and you to cater to her. Cook supper, clean, fix her a fancy bath with scented water/bubble bathe. Give her a foot rub afterwards.
Reply:Stop at a Hallmark store and start buying her little figurines or if she has a certain thing that seems to bring her some happiness ( my wife likes snowmen, now we have a village ) buy her someting small like that that you know she will enjoy and can become a display for her.
Reply:Women love things that are ment for them. It lets them know they are being thought of. Write her a poem about the week and the beautiful things you've noticed about her. I'm sure she'd like this a lot. Or, you could cook a dinner for her. Also you can set aside that day for the two of you to just cuddle. It's not hard to please a woman and I'm sure anything you do will be loved.
Reply:You could make her something.. Like you make her a collage aka scrapbook pages. of things you have done together, etc.. if you have kids you can buy kits (handprint kit, stone makers,etc) I don't beleive they cost that much to make, everything is include in the kits....
you can make her a video of all the pictures/places you have been... You can take her out to a nice dinner.... Chocolates..yummy...
Reply:Bring home dinner sometime so she doesn't have to make it.
Arrange a pedicure or manicure and the time to go to it. (beauty schools are inexpensive and do a great job.)
Arrange a babysitter while you are at work so she can go do something by herself.
Reply:give her a copy of this poem, framed:
i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
Reply:Gift certificate for a manicure with a small note saying you want to take care of the hands that take care of you.
You don't really have to spend a lot of money or buy gifts. Try taking her to the video store, tell her she can pick out any movie.... then watch it with her.
How about a blank book (you can find them at the book stores) and you write in the first page. Write your feelings about her. She can use the rest of the book to write her own thoughts/feelings or keep track of family memories.
Make arrangements for the kids to go somewhere for the evening or the night. Get a bottle of champion and a pizza. Don't turn the tv on.

Reply:A night at home....for her to do nothing and you to cater to her. Cook supper, clean, fix her a fancy bath with scented water/bubble bathe. Give her a foot rub afterwards.
Reply:Stop at a Hallmark store and start buying her little figurines or if she has a certain thing that seems to bring her some happiness ( my wife likes snowmen, now we have a village ) buy her someting small like that that you know she will enjoy and can become a display for her.
Reply:Women love things that are ment for them. It lets them know they are being thought of. Write her a poem about the week and the beautiful things you've noticed about her. I'm sure she'd like this a lot. Or, you could cook a dinner for her. Also you can set aside that day for the two of you to just cuddle. It's not hard to please a woman and I'm sure anything you do will be loved.
Reply:You could make her something.. Like you make her a collage aka scrapbook pages. of things you have done together, etc.. if you have kids you can buy kits (handprint kit, stone makers,etc) I don't beleive they cost that much to make, everything is include in the kits....
you can make her a video of all the pictures/places you have been... You can take her out to a nice dinner.... Chocolates..yummy...
Reply:Bring home dinner sometime so she doesn't have to make it.
Arrange a pedicure or manicure and the time to go to it. (beauty schools are inexpensive and do a great job.)
Arrange a babysitter while you are at work so she can go do something by herself.
Reply:give her a copy of this poem, framed:
i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
Reply:Gift certificate for a manicure with a small note saying you want to take care of the hands that take care of you.
You don't really have to spend a lot of money or buy gifts. Try taking her to the video store, tell her she can pick out any movie.... then watch it with her.
How about a blank book (you can find them at the book stores) and you write in the first page. Write your feelings about her. She can use the rest of the book to write her own thoughts/feelings or keep track of family memories.
Make arrangements for the kids to go somewhere for the evening or the night. Get a bottle of champion and a pizza. Don't turn the tv on.

Stand in water for about 4 hours and place in fridge, leaving the wrapping on. You stand a good chance that the flowers should be be OK on Tuesday. That's what florists do.
Reply:You really should have asked for delivery to you on Monday, or specified delivery directly to the giftee on Tuesday. Your only choice now is to keep the box in your refrigerator, hoping the flowers will remain pristine in the cool temp.
Reply:The refridgerator is best, make sure they have water in there too. If your flowers have any white roses in the bunch, make sure you have no apples in your refridgerator or the roses will turn brown.
Reply:Put them in the refridgerator. How well they stay nice will depend on the type of flowers. Some will hold for a few weeks, some just a few days.

I want to send flowers or jewelry to my girlfriend, but shipping is too expensive. I am in USA, she is in Lima, Peru.
How can I buy a gift or flowers on the internet (cheapest), and have it delivered in Lima?
I recomend you use the online store http://carequitagifts.com, I recently ordered gift and flower from them and they have the best price that I saw on the internet.
Another good thing is that they mailed my fiance in Peru, record of the purchase that she will use for her visa interview.

Guys, would you say women you expect diamonds and expensive gifts including flowers all the time not wanting?
to take the time to cook a decent hot cooked breakfast, lunch and/or dinner are somewhat --tchy?
I'm talking stuck up snotty women who think they are so above everyone because they not only have careers that pays top wages but also they have successful hard working men who have successful careers earning top wages willing to be their stool pigeons just to have the joy of having acceptable women as their mates just choosing to make a lousy, cheap, cold sandwich filled with cold cuts or Kraft macoroni %26amp; cheese dinner for their lunch and/or dinner?
Not to mention placing a box of cereal on the table for him.
Or just telling him to order a pizza for dinner because she doesn't want to bother cooking.
They want diamonds, platinum, gold, gemstones, expensive gifts, including flowers, fine gourmet dinners, gourmet barbecues made by him, fancy luxury cars to drive in and fancy, luxury cars to be driven in and lots of money for themselves yet they are too selfish to spend a lousy 15
Guys, would you say women you expect diamonds and expensive gifts including flowers all the time not wanting?
I'm not a guy, but I think that women who want all that stuff are b_tchy in general. I don't think a woman's job is to cook and clean, but a relationship DOES need two sides.
Reply:You know if you show a women or a man that you care about them and do things for them they end up doing you wrong. well 90% of them anyway.. But I'm going to keep give my women the world until I find the right one.
Reply:I would say, gold digger and stupid guy. A woman should at least give something back to the relation.
Reply:they are called prima donnas in other words gold digging Bitche$ who care for no one but their greedy selves.
Reply:i think its better to give, and take, i get a lot out of giving , blue
Reply:Nice rant. What's wrong with pizza?
Reply:I this selfish people suck in general. But I'm confused. The woman in your example has a high paying job, which would usually indicate that she works very hard. So can you really blame her for being too tired to cook an elaborate meal? And if both people work, why is the woman automatically the one who has to do the cooking?
It's rude of her to accept expensive gifts and not give anything in return. But it's just as rude and selfish of her husband to expect her to give him gourmet meals all the time when she is just as tired as he is. If he wants it that badly, I'm sure he's capable of cooking for himself.
Both of these people sound like they have entitlement issues.

What are you all doing for wedding party gifts: Flower girl, ring bearer, bridesmaids and groomsman?
I want some unique ideas for my wedding party! Not the standard engraved flask or engraved mug. I want something inexpensive as well!!!!!
What are you all doing for wedding party gifts: Flower girl, ring bearer, bridesmaids and groomsman?
For the flower girl and ring bearer it depends on their ages. If they are young they will appreciate a nice toy. Ask their moms what they like. If they are older, say 7 or more get them gift cards. Libby Lu's is great for the girl, Wal Mart, Barnes and Noble or Build A Bear would do for both. At that age they know what gift cards are and like the freedom of 'shopping' for them selves.
As for the Bride's maids, try the jewelry they will wear at the wedding. I have a bride that bought 12 sets of earrings and necklaces from Ebay for a total of $30. They were beautiful.
As for the men, that if usually left up to your groom to handle but if you want try money clips. They are not too expensive and it is a nice to to have their name or monogram engraved. This is something that they will actually use and keep in their pockets for years to come.
Something I've also seen this summer at three different weddings is totes with their names engraved and often they are the wedding colors. I think these are really cool. Especially when you photographer comes in to take the prewedding pics the girls can toss their junk into the bags so the room is not cluttered in the pics.
Reply:All of my bridesmaids have been my best friends for years, so for theres I was really creative, I got a whole buch of tote bags that had picture slots, on the front, right, and back sides, and I went and raided all my photo albums, and I put all the pictures of us together through the years, in the slots, and then on the handle I had their initials stitched, and inside the bags, I put a bunch of little stuff, slippers, candles, and a note from me saying how much they meant to me. For the groomsman, my husband got their favorite football teams hats and jerseys, with their names on it instead. Our flowergirls got regular little girl things, dora toys and little purses. And my nephew who was the ringbearer, got all new football stuff.
But anyways my fav gift was the bridesmaids gift, for each one it was under like 20 dollars, and they were crying more than I was. Hope you figure out what to do.
Reply:For gifts, I'm spending about 100 per girl for our beach themed wedding.
However, I'm also taking my Matron of Honor out for a spa/massage day, and I'll probably do a brunch for my other girls.
Gifts:
My Matron of Honor and my bridesmaid: Real pearl and diamond pendant necklaces in gold, with gold chains.
My oldest future stepdaughter: (Junior Bridesmaid, age 13) a gold pendant with four dolphins (she saw it and mentioned it reminded her of the four of us...her father, myself, her sister and herself) and a gold chain.
My youngest future stepdaugher: (Bridal Attendant, age 11) a gold charm bracelet with a sea turtle charm in colored enamel...fits her personality (very colorful, humorous child).
Reply:flower girl a personalized blanket in a little gift basket with stuff for her to use during the reception coloring book, candy,and a doll
Ring bearer same just add a car or ji Jo's instead
Bridesmaids Jewelry for the wedding a nice necklace with a stone to match there dresses or diamonds or pearls maybe
Groomsmen cuff links or watches or maybe if you want to keep with the flask thing make a basket with like a little mini bar in it
Reply:I'm not having a flower girl or ring bearer. For the bridesmaids, I'm doing a few small things. I'm getting small totes with their initials on them and putting a necklace and earrings that I'm making for them to wear on the day of the wedding, a charm bracelet, and a silk handkerchief that my mother brought back from China in each tote. The necklaces will be freshwater pearl with sterling silver initial pendants. For the charm bracelets, I'm having a charm cake at the bridesmaids luncheon and I will attach the charms they pull from the cake to their bouquets for the ceremony and then they can put them on the bracelet. It will already have a bridesmaid or maid of honor charm on it. My fiance went more traditional and got his groomsmen monogrammed money clips. I'm not going to do a full monogram on the bridesmaids stuff, just their first initial, because two of them are already engaged, so their last initial will change. I've always heard that its best to give them something individual since they don't all necessarily have the same taste, so I'm going to throw in a $10 gift card to each of their favorite stores. I didn't want to do anything expensive, so I decided to do a bunch of little stuff and personalize it for each girl.

Do men like getting flowers as gifts ?
like for the holidays or birthdays ?
Do men like getting flowers as gifts ?
...possibly in addition to something else. But as the main gift, or delivered to them at work, I'm going to say No.
I will say, however, that when my wife %26amp; I were dating she brought me flowers a couple of times... she was the only girl that ever did that for me. It was always spur of the moment, for no particular reason, and honestly, I really, really liked it. It meant a great deal to me.... there have been many times since where I've caught myself remembering that and wishing she would do it again.

Loss of loved ones?? Sympathy gifts, flowers, care packages...?
My son's great-grandfather (his daddy's grandpa) just passed away. My son's dad and I get along wonderfully, and we love each other. He was extremely close to his grandfather (he was raised by his grandparents), and my son had been around him a little. The issue I'm having is that I live in the South and he (son's dad) and his family live up North(and most of the family, namely his sister, can't stand me). I don't know what's appropriate to send. I really don't want to offend anyone or make things worse, when things are already not going well. Should I (and my family) send flowers, a care package (food, gift certificates, plates, utensils...), sympathy gift...??????? Does anyone have any ideas or help here?????? It would be greatly appreciated!
Loss of loved ones?? Sympathy gifts, flowers, care packages...?
When my grandfather died, the thing that I really wanted was not so much a gift, but more of a sentimental heartfelt token of sympathy. Flowers are nice, but they too die. My best friend sent me a letter that she had written in by hand. For me this showed that she loved me enough to take time her busy schedule and tell me that she was there for me.
I think that a letter or card, if worded right is enough. You don't need anything else.
My condolences for your families loss.
Reply:I think just a sympathy card would be fine.
Reply:Send a live sympathy plant to the funeral home. Sign it from you and your son, to your sons father and his family. It is something that your sons father can take home with him after. Peace Lilly's are always nice. If the funeral has already happened, then a fruit basket with a card.
Reply:Flowers would be nice, or a card. With family gathering around food is a big help. One of their local supermarkets probably has a delivery service for sandwich trays, veggie trays, etc. You still care about your son's dad and it is his loss, so do send something. Even if they don't really like you, it is the right thing to do. Could give them a better opinion of you, but mostly it is the right thing to do.

How to arrange flowers in a gift box?
i wish to buy fresh flowers and arrange them into a gift box ( with cover ). what are the materials needed?
do i use floral foam as the base?
anywhere i can find a guide on this?
How to arrange flowers in a gift box?
Will the flowers be standing upright or lying down?
If you want to arrange them in an upright position, you will need floral foam and you may want to buy some floral wire, especially if you have flowers that tend to droop like gerbera daisies or tulips. The floral foam should be soaked in water and placed in a water proof base.
If you want to lie the flowers down around something, you can buy special test tubes with caps for each flower. These are then filled with water. Your best bet? Go to any flower shop and throw yourself on their mercy. They'll have everything you need to make your gift box memorable.
The supplies you need aren't expensive and can even be purchased at craft stores. Just be sure you get the right kind of foam for fresh flowers. Don't confuse floral foam with the green styrofoam they use for silk or dried flower arrangements!
Good luck!

Women do you like it when your man brings you flowers or gifts after having a fight?
I'm just curiouse to know. I don't like it because that and Valentines day are the only times i get flowers.
So now i asociate flowers with a fight. I would much rather the guy just tell me how sorry he is and show me through kindness rather then gifts and flowers. I just feel like he is trying to buy my forgiveness, and butter me up so he can avoide the issue and it will be all over. And if it happens again he thinks he can cover it up by buying more flowers, but then never discussing the problem and trying to change it.
Women do you like it when your man brings you flowers or gifts after having a fight?
I don't think flowers should be given after a good fight or break up ....I love flowers ...but I would like them more any day /anytime . I have had a ton of KISS -AZZ flowers ,,,I have always told him I am not the flower/chocolate teddy bear recieving woman ..If your wrong and yo know it ,,leave me alone flowers or not ,,if I am really pissed off I have been known to throw the s*** out the window too !!!...but if a man loves you thats his way of trying ANYTHING !!
Reply:My husband and I have never had a "fight" so he has never had occasion to bring me flowers after one. He does bring me flowers about once a month "just because" and the florist he goes to asks him all the time "what did you do now?". He just doesn't understand why my husband would buy flowers when he has nothing to apologize for so I'm guessing most of his male customers give flowers after a fight. If we were to "fight" I would not want nor appreciate flowers from him as they would just remind me of the "fight" when I looked at them.
Reply:My husband used to give me flowers all the time ...Come to realize it was everytime he would be horrible to me and it was his way of being nice ... But the truth is ...everytime he was cheating with someone he became horrible to me ...The guilt ate him alive and so the flowers were...." I'm sorry ".. Go think about that one!!. Then ...he would expect me to keep thanking him like the flowers were such a wonderful gift .... All I wanted was his time and someone eles had that ....always!! Funny though ..today when another man gives me flowers its a good feeling ...
Reply:Hell No... This is what I would like.
Don't repeat what the fight was about in the first place.
Show me that you care by not fighting but talking things out.
Treat me with respect and like an intelligent adult.
Go to anger management.
Buy me flowers for our Anniversary and Valentines day.
If you can do that..... I'll love you forever.
Reply:No because it would have more meaning for me if he gave me flowers through the good times to. It's a nice gesture and maybe his way of saying that he is sorry and that is good but... it's when they give you that beautiful bouquet for no reason at all that a nicer reason is attached to them.
Reply:Cut the guy some slack. My fiance doesn't do that. He buys flowers randomly %26amp; I don't think I've ever received flowers because of an argument. But, some men are just totally inept at understanding what women want. It's really not his fault. He's not female %26amp; he can't read your mind. I'm sure the last thing he's thinking is that flowers will offend you. He's doing what he has always heard (through movies, friends, etc) is the right thing to do. Give him a break.
Reply:I'm not a fan of "gifts" to smooth over a disagreement. Gifts should be "just because". I agree with you that once a disagreement has been resolved the best way to show it is by treating the person well, not by "buying" their good graces again.
Reply:As a guy, this can be very true and you give a great point. My fiance persoanlly doesnt like flowers becuase " they are a waste of money and they dont last long". Lol . Dont know if thats a good or a bad thing. I personally in past relationships would only give flowers on special occasionns.
Reply:I would rather my man gives me flowers on happy occasions! You are right, you are programmed now to dislike his gifts because you think there's a motive behind his gift-giving. If you accept his gifts each time, nothing will change.
Reply:I used to date a guy that would do that. After I left that relationship I realized how abusive it was and the flowers/gifts were just his way of covering up his abuse in his own mind.
Good luck!
Reply:Nope. I don't like it either. A fight is a fight and a gift is a gift for an occasion.
Reply:I agree, I would rather have the issue resolved than for him to give me flowers.
Reply:No i dont. He takes me out to eat some where to show me he is sorry. Men have problems.
Reply:that is another way of telling you that he is sorry
Reply:NOPE! He wants to fight with me..He can't keep his crap! I don't want it!
Reply:You are right if he is going to brin you flower then you should still sit down and talk about the problem.
Reply:Forget the gift. A firm apology will do the trick for me.
Reply:i'm just like you!!
Reply:I agree with you.

I wanna start working at home.. doing flower gifts.. but, How do I start?
I don't know what you mean by flower gifts but maybe you could sell them to a flower shop or wedding planner.
Reply:Start with your circle of friends %26amp; relatives. Maybe put together a brochure with pictures of a selections of flower gifts. Have them hand out your brochures to other people they know. You could offer a discount for a sales referral. This is a good way to judge the market %26amp; does not cost a lot of money.
Reply:You need a plan, then money, then advertising, then clients, then you can work. There is a lot more to it but I think that is the basics. Good Luck!!

What's an alternative for fresh flowers for valentines?
Im planning to give the girl that i like the 'traditional' flower gift for valentines this year.. i have given her a couple of bouquets on her birthday, etc. but i think its too much cliche if i would give her another flowers that's gonna die anyway. ANy suggestions on an alternative thats not too cliche? i was planning to give her a flower made of glass so it wont die, but i think its too lame. So any suggestions would be greatly apprecitaed! thanks!!!
What's an alternative for fresh flowers for valentines?
glass is wonderful! my hubby bought me a giant plastic sunflower for mothers day! I wanted to strangle him! but a delicate glass flower with something like "made of precious glass so fragile like you, yet strong and undying like my affection for you" add that to a card or get one of those empty ones you write in yourself you have got it made! yeah it will win her heart! You go with your original idea! Balloons ar second to flowers!
Reply:that is such a cute idea. do it! maybe on her card say something cute about how the flower will never die. your awesome!

Reply:If you really want to give her flowers do what my husband does. My husband refuses to buy me cut flowers because they die. He buys me potted flowers so I can plant them afterwards.
Reply:first, stop giving her flowers for every little thing... make a reservation at a really nice ROMANTIC restaurant... Even if you can't afford much, make sure it's romantic -- maybe even give her a CHOCOLATE rose when they seat you.... chocolate roses have just the rose eatable, not the whole thing A cafe out doors if the weather is mild would be nice... if indoors, pull her chair out to seat her... do gentlemen things like that. treat her like a real lady, etc. That's MUCH better than flowers.

Most of us guys seem to feel with our stomachs. It's the best way to a Man's heart, after all.
Reply:I love edible arrangements, they send unique fruit arrangements and can do chocolate covered strawberries, check out their website.
Reply:A tear-out coupon book with coupons for free "gifts" or special "activities". You write the thing in code so that most people won't understand except for the both of you.
Reply:something that will remind him about when you guys 1st met happy v day good luck and God bless
Reply:Yourself naked, wrapped in a red bow.
Reply:a cup of coffee
Reply:A gift card to a resturant that the two of you can go to later.
Reply:I asked my hubby on this one and he polled the guys in the office and the consensus 9/12 said they wouldn't want their wives to send anything - no matter what they would send they would feel embarrassed.
For what it's worth I would agree, most guys are just that way.
So why not just show up and bring a nice lunch for him or take him out for a nice lunch!
Reply:You can write him a poem to show how you feel about him ,plus you don't have to embarrased if you say something corney.
Reply:overnight a pantygram to him.... he'll thank you for it, and so will you

When to give gifts and flowers at my wedding ?
Hi im getting married in 2 weeks and I would really need help of people who have married before. after the meal how do I go about giving out the presents to the ushers,bridemaids pagebboys and flowers to the mums and nanas. I was only 10 when I was a bridesmaidf and I can remember being called out after the meal, but I dont know how to go about it. As I dont have a clue do just stand up and go and get them then give them out or do the hotel staff bring them over to us to give out as Im not too sure what I do.
Any information you can give me will be great. Thanks
When to give gifts and flowers at my wedding ?
At weddings I have been to (I'm a wedding photographer!), the gifts and flowers are usually given out during the grooms speech. He says the name of the person and thanks them and the bride hands the gift over (making it a combined action by the bride and groom as a couple).
Enjoy your big day!
Reply:I would give your gifts at the rehersal dinner. This way you are not taking away from your special day. It will be hectic as it is and this way this is one less thing you have to worry about. As for the flowers you should deffently present them to the mums and nanas before the wedding. Once the reception starts you are going to be busy with pictures, dancing and all the other craziness. I think by doing this all before hand will relieve you of some stress.
Reply:When we were married we gave our gifts out after the speeches. They were all gift wrapped apart from flowers. Good luck to you.
Reply:at my daughters wedding the gifts and flowers was given to people at the end of the best mans speech ....he asked myself (brides mum) and the grooms mum to come to the little stage that was there ..the bride and groom said a few words to us then best man invited the brides maids then ushers to follow suit the grooms father was best man but if you have fathers and grandparents you can ask the same of them....i hope that is of some help hun, but i don't think there is any hard and fast rules about it ....the gifts and flowers was taken to the hotel the night before and the staff brought them in discreetly ....hope you have a wonderful day hun and the sun shines for you
Reply:When all your speaches have been done at the reception , that is when you give them ,
Reply:When we had our rehearsal dinner, we waited til everyone was pretty much finished eating. My hubby %26amp; I stood up and made a toast to everyone present, thanking them for all their love %26amp; support, and for agreeing to be a part of our big day. We thanked our parents for all they'd done to help us, and let everyone know how much we loved them, and told them we had tokens of appreciation for everyone. Then we passed out the gifts.
Reply:I would say at the rehearsal dinner. That is when my friend did her's
Reply:You shouldn't give specific gifts in front of the other guests. These gifts for the wedding party and family should be given at the rehearsal dinner the night before.
Reply:When I got married, I waited till the evening do to give out gifts and flowers. I got up on the stage with the dj and got him to call people out then took his microphone to say thankyou for ......... and being a part of the best day of my life.

How important is Gifts, flowers, cards and sweet talk in love and marriage.?
as i am a litle bit older then most(from what i can gather),i wil use my experience from life with women.It is that important that if you disreguard it just once when you should not have,then you are in up to your knees.It will cost you more to make it up then you would have spent in a year on her.You have to say the right things all of the time,and if that's not enough,then you have to propose as most of them think that it is your responsibility.That's why i love them so much. lol
How important is Gifts, flowers, cards and sweet talk in love and marriage.?
That's depend on what are you in situation ... In my opinion gife,Flower,cards and sweet talk is nessery stuff but if you can afford it.. will make love life smooth and swetter..Try..
Married .. not the end of answer when you're both get ready or really deep falling in love ..it's all depends on what both you want!..
Reply:Its very important thats the only way to keep your marriage and your love life in check and spiced up!!

If a guy you went out with twice is fixated on you and sends flowers and gifts what should you do?
He tells everyone he loves me and wants to marry me. I am just not interested in him and like someone else. He isn't really stalking me but he sends love notes and flowers and expensive presents almost every day. He is rich and thinks he will win me over.
If a guy you went out with twice is fixated on you and sends flowers and gifts what should you do?
"What's love got to do with it, got to do with it?" I'm with Tina Turner on this one. Gracious! He sounds wonderful. Does he have a gay brother?
Reply:Be nice.
Tell the guy you're interested in someone else, so he can move on and be interested in someone else.
Reply:Just tell him that you only want to be friends and not interested in him like that. Guys are used to that. It's called the "friend zone" and they all know what that is. He will be a disappointed and get a crushed ego for awhile but I think it's much worse to keep taking his gifts because your leading him on and that can hurt him more. Just be kind, but honest and let him know thanks but no thanks. He probably won't go crazy on you. He just won't call you anymore.

Flowers say a lot. They were used as birthday gifts. Now a days i dont find them in the rows of jelling gifts. The days are changed. What do you think??

Reply:If the reciever likes flowers then its a nice gift. If you go to the trouble of finding out what their favourite flowers are then its a really great gift.
I buy myself flowers every week as a gift to myself, they make my home feel really nice, occasionally my man friend buys me flowers but he knows better than to turn up with a dozen red roses which would signify his guilt. LOL.
Reply:most guys are stupid, and give flowers when they did something wrong, so they think if they give them when they haven't, it will make it look like they did :D
I love to give flowers to a girl, at random times ... usually the ones that are their favorite (especially if it is different than a rose), and reserve the roses for the 'holidays' with something else more personal included.
Reply:i love to get flowers i allways dry 1 out if its from a special occasion i still have a rose from my 1st date with my husband when we met :)
Reply:I think I got the shaft- I bought my man an 8gb MP3/ video player- I got flowers..... Just flowers..... Only flowers..... After 2 years together. He still hasn't gotten his christmas present because I haven't gotten mine and there's no way I'm buying him his chocolate phone that he wants while I get a dreamcatcher or something lame like that.
