GUIDES
Why send flowers
Flowers are the present you can send to someone 5,000 km away and still get right. They need
no size, no taste, no return address and no explanation; they arrive, they say the thing you
could not fit into a message, and a week later they are gone rather than sitting in a
drawer.
These guides are the occasions people actually send them for — what to send, when it should
land, what to write on the card, and the mistakes that are worth avoiding. Each one ends
with the prompt to give your AI agent, because ordering is the part we automate.
- 💒 Sending flowers for a wedding Most weddings are on a Saturday and Preznt only delivers on weekdays — so send the couple flowers to the Friday before, or to the address they come home to after the honeymoon.
- 🕊️ Funeral and sympathy flowers What to send when someone has died, what to write on the card, and why flowers a week or two after the funeral often land better than flowers on the day.
- 🎂 Birthday flowers Flowers are the birthday present you can send from another country and still get right — as long as the birthday is not a weekend, and you order at least three business days out.
- 💐 Flowers for your mum Mother's Day is a Sunday in every country Preznt delivers to, and Preznt does not deliver on Sundays — so the flowers go on the Friday before, and they are better for it.
- ❤️ Flowers for your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife or husband Anniversaries, Valentine's Day and the ordinary Tuesday that needs nothing at all — what to send your partner, when to send it, and what to write.
- 🍼 Flowers for a new baby Send flowers to the parents, not the hospital: new parents are home within days, nobody can carry a vase out of a maternity ward, and week two is when the visitors stop coming.
- 🌷 Get well and thinking-of-you flowers Flowers for someone who is ill, recovering, or having a hard month — where to send them, what to write, and why the second week matters more than the first.
- 🙏 Thank-you flowers For the person who fed your cat, covered your shift, or hosted you for a week — a thank-you that arrives after the fact is worth more than one that arrives with you.
- 🌹 Apology flowers Flowers do not apologise for you — they arrive three business days later and remind someone you meant it. Apologise first, in your own words, then send them.
- 🌍 Sending flowers to another country Preznt delivers to any street address in the USA, the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, priced in that country's own currency — you pay from wherever you are, in whichever of the five the flowers land.
THE RULES THAT APPLY TO ALL OF THEM
Preznt sells one product — a signature bouquet at a flat $100 / £100 / €100 / CHF 100,
delivered to a street address in the USA, the UK, Germany, Switzerland or Italy. Whatever
the occasion, the same four rules decide the date:
- At least three business days ahead. Weekends and
the delivery country's public holidays don't count towards the three — order on a Friday and
the earliest delivery is the following Wednesday. A florist places every order by hand.
- Weekdays only. No Saturday or Sunday delivery,
which is why the weekend occasions — weddings, Mother's Day, a birthday that falls on a
Sunday — are sent to the Friday before.
- Not a public holiday where it lands. The
calendar that counts is the recipient's, not yours: a UK florist works through
Thanksgiving, and an American one works through the August bank holiday.
- At most three months out. Far enough to book a
birthday the moment you remember it; not far enough to plan a wedding around.
And one rule about who is in charge: an agent can create an order, but only the human
behind the email address on it can pay for it. The payment link is emailed to that person
and is never returned to the agent, so nothing is ever bought on an agent's say-so. See
how it works.
Preznt is in alpha and best-effort. A paid order is really placed with a florist and really
delivered; if one cannot be fulfilled it is refunded in full. Want an occasion, a product or
