Celebrate the Heartwarming Connection of Grandparents!

Where would our lives be without the cherished presence of grandparents?

National Grandparents Day, traditionally observed on the first Sunday after Labor Day, is a special occasion that holds great significance. This year, on Sunday, September 10, 2023, both the US and Canada will come together to honor the role of grandparents in our lives.

In the United States, Grandparents Day is more than just a date on the calendar. It's a chance for families to come together in joyous gatherings, embark on travel adventures that include both Grandma and Grandpa, and partake in community events that celebrate the cherished influence of grandparents.

Delving into the Essence of Grandparents Day

The inception of a day dedicated to celebrating grandparents is relatively recent, dating back to the efforts of Marian McQuade, a West Virginian native. In 1978, her advocacy prompted the U.S. Senate to officially recognize the importance of grandparents and designate a special day in their honor.

That very year, President Jimmy Carter signed the bill into law, establishing Grandparents Day as a nationally recognized occasion. Symbolizing this heartfelt connection, forget-me-nots were chosen as the official flower of Grandparents Day.

In our modern times, Grandparents Day has become a wonderful reason to bring families together. It's a time for exchanging heartwarming greeting cards and presenting vibrant flower bouquets, or simply treating grandparents to a delightful dinner out or a heartfelt homemade feast that pays tribute to their enduring love and wisdom.

Majestic and Graceful Lilies

Lilies possess an inherent elegance that is truly captivating and inspiring. These magnificent, grand blooms are more than just flowers; they symbolize optimism, renewal, and a surge of positive energy. A bouquet of lilies is a remarkable gesture to brighten your grandparents' day with its uplifting aura. With various species and a spectrum of colors to choose from, such as the enchanting white and pink stargazer lily, the trumpet-like calla lilies, and the striking orange Asiatic lilies, the choices are as diverse as the love between generations.

Express with Sunflowers

Much like its namesake, the sunflower emanates a warmth and positivity akin to the sun itself. It's the perfect embodiment of early autumn or late summer gift-giving, embracing the essence of these vibrant seasons. Whether presented in a grand bouquet featuring multiple sunflowers or combined with other lively blooms to create an even more dazzling impact, the sunflower conveys your sentiments with a brilliance that's truly captivating.
