Delivery Options

To the Ceremony

Many graduation venues accept flower deliveries for pickup. Contact the venue in advance to arrange:

• Delivery location (registration area, will call)
• Pickup procedures
• Size restrictions (stadiums may limit large arrangements)

To Their Seat

Most venues don't allow seat delivery during ceremonies. Plan for the graduate to collect flowers after or at a designated meeting spot.

After-Party Delivery

Send flowers to the celebration venue or family home for display during the party.

Dorm or Apartment

If they're returning to school or moving to a new city, send flowers to arrive when they do.

The classic choice. Easy to carry, photograph, and display. Consider adding:
