Are flowers in order?

My daughter is in a play (musical). She is not the lead person but one on the main characters. I really havent been to many plays and it starts on Dec.1. I am so proud of her. Do the actors sometimes get flowers after the play and if so, what kind/how many. I don't want to embarrass her. Oh, this is a high school play but many people from the community are in it.

Are flowers in order?
i say that whenever you are unsure of whether to do something thoughtful or not-just do it!!...life is short!!....i honestly don't know the proper etiquette for giving flowers to actors, but who cares!...your daughter will be delighted to recieve flowers...as for what kind of flowers, i'd probably just get whatever her favorites are....roses are probably most traditional...and i would probably only give her flowers on opening night, i don't think it's necessary to give flowers at every performance
Reply:Of course give her flowers if she is one of the main characters... opening night PLEASE! (Squeak!) Report It

Reply:Congratulations to your daughter, how exciting! Yes, I would get her flowers. Perhaps a small bouquet nothing over the top.





How about 3 roses with baby's breath? Or perhaps one large sunflower? or a dozen daizy's?
Reply:Absolutely! Make her feel special, like her role is the lead-at least to you.
Reply:It would be a lovely gesture and Im sure she will appreciate it. Just chose a posy of her favourites rather than a huge bunch..;
Reply:Honestly, if your child is in a play no matter what the role, flowers are in order. Quite often the school sells them to make some money, but bringing your own is better--it shows that you thought about it before getting to the play. Get her favorite kind, but nothing run-of-the-mill. My favorite are Gerbera Daisies, but sunflowers or something big and bright will be different than the roses/carnations that everyone else will be getting. Be sure to take lots of pictures, this is a big thing for her!





Oh and you're her parents, while she's in school it's your job to embarass her. If she's embarassed by flowers then that's not right. It's an expression of love. Just don't bring pictures of her tap dance recital when she was 4 to show to all her friends--THAT would be embarassing. She's got all of college to not be embarassed by her parents on a daily basis. lol.
Reply:First of all, I'd like to say that flowers are in order whenever you feel like giving them to her:) I was in a play in high school, and it was standard for families (and even some friends) to bring 3-6 roses to give after the show. Even the members of the chorus got flowers. It's purely a personal decision, though. Pick up a small bouquet of her favorite flowers for her. It's not so much what you get, but the thought. One of my little brothers gave me a wilted dandelion once, and it thrilled me. I'm sure whatever you choose to do for her will make her feel very special.
Reply:Absolutely!!! Get her whatever is her favorite flower. Or maybe a bouquet of pink roses.
Reply:When I was in high school musicals lots of people got flowers. It is a very nice thing to do and will really make her day. I would recommend some roses (maybe 6?) or a bouquet of her favorite flowers, if they are available. You won't embarrass her, she will love having some flowers!!
Reply:I would bring flowers for sure!
Reply:Flowers are in order and greatly appreciated.





You can give them to her before the show for the others to admire a bit too.





If not breaking the budget, a small bunch of roses is appropriate. Or, if you don't have a Sams, Wal-Mart or somewhere to get them a bit cheaper, a mixed bouquet would suffice.





Grats to her on her part and good luck with the musical.
Reply:Every child should get flowers no matter how "big" their role...
Reply:yes ,get her a bundle of her favorite,thats what they do,even in school plays
Reply:You can give her flowers. I played an instrument and after my concerts I would be given flowers.
