Is it OK to have mothers day flowers delivered on Saturday?

I want to get my girlfriend's mother flowers for mothers day, and I was just wondering if it is poor ettiquette to have them delivered the Saturday before. I know they have big plans all day on Sunday so I wanted to be sure she got them on time, and also web site florists say they can't guarantee delivery on that date.

Most Mother's Day flowers are delivered the Friday or Saturday before. Mom won't care- she will be very happy to be remembered. Follow up with a phone call or visit on Sunday.
Reply:From what I have heard, most flowers will be delivered on Saturday, anyway. At least, that is custom here in FL.





I think it is a beautiful idea of yours, to think of your girl-friends mother! And my bet is, she want even waste a thought about, that it is one day early.





However, if you happen to see her in person on Mother's Day, do give the flowers to her in person.
Reply:It is absoltuely okay to have flowers delivered the Saturday before. Flowers for Mother's Day, even Valentines Day are delivered quite a few days early prior to the actual day. The fact you recognize the day is thoughtful, not the day it comes.
Reply:Yes, of course! Save on the shipping charges, and there are many delivery services that don't deliver anything on Sundays - I'm having my mom's stuff delivered today!
Reply:Absolutely not.





Etiquette doesn't work that way.





All gifts are unexpected.





An early gift is always a welcome surprise.
Reply:Flowers or gifts can be delivered anytime up to the actual celebration just not after.
Reply:It's fine. Most florists don't deliver on Sunday anyway
Reply:no problem at all. as you said you wanted to make sure she got them. your gf's mother will appreciate the gesture.
Reply:Sure, she can enjoy them for an extra day on the weekend.
Reply:yep...better than monday.
Reply:got mine today
