Flower Power for Parties; ProFlowers Partners with Evites for #PartyBlooms Sweepstakes

(Note to readers: This is part of a sponsored campaign with ProFlowers and Shari’s Berries. However, all opinions expressed are my own. #PartyBlooms #ad)

Floral arrangements are pretty to look at, but it’s how they make you FEEL that gives flowers their real power, whether it’s a simple rose from a new guy in your life or a bouquet you give to your daughter after her first dance recital.  Flowers just make you feel special.

I know every gal adores them, and the guys do, too.  Yes, I said the guys like flowers.  You know why?  They like them because it’s such an unexpected gift for them.  I promise you, if a gal has ever bought a guy a flower, she will not be forgotten.

They’re perfect presents for someone who needs a pick-me-up, or just a reminder that someone is on your mind.  Again, I’m a fan of giving them when it’s least expected.

But I also consider them a great go-to gift for more typical occasions.

They are super for the hostess at a party, and there’s no sin in buying them for yourself for your own party, to be perfectly honest.  When I’m planning a party, I believe flowers are just as important as the music I’ll be playing.  I’m no green thumb in the garden, so that often means I need to buy my flowers.  ProFlowers is my go-to resource for fabulous flowers for my parties and for friends and family.

That’s because you can count on beautiful blooms (no joke–they’re guaranteed to bloom for at least seven days), and as much as I’m online, I like the convenience of picking them out on the Internet and having them arrive right to my door.  And check this out: ProFlowers is offering my readers 20% of their purchase with coupon code: PARTYBLOOMS.  By all means, share it with your friends, too!

Another convenience I count on for parties: Evite.

Yep.  It’s the site I’ve relied on for at least half a decade.  From annual SuperBowl parties to work events, it’s just so simple to create and share an invitation through Evite, then keep track of who will be part of the fun, all online.

Well, those two companies are partnering up on a pretty sweet sweepstakes: #PartyBlooms.

10 lucky people have a chance to win six months of flowers from ProFlowers.  Think of it as a prize that you keep on winning!  Just visit www.partybloomsperfectpair.com for official details.  There are two ways to enter.  You can host a party on Evite by 6/30/14 or post a photo of flowers on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #PartyBlooms.  It’s great if you tag both @Evite and @ProFlowers when you enter.

The Pinterest board below includes some pretty options for party decorations, recipes and more. If you’re planning a party, definitely take a look.

One of my favorite party treats is chocolate covered strawberries.  You can’t imagine the size of the ones I got with my last delivery from Shari’s Berries (part of ProFlowers).  Seriously…look at the photo below.  Those guys were the size of three quarters set up like a triangle.  I don’t even think I need a party to order my next batch.

Good luck with your next big bash…or small get together.  And here’s hoping one of my readers wins the sweepstakes, too!
