Choosing dahlias for their shape
Ask for rounded dahlias to make their volume stand out. There are different forms and sizes, so a reference for the particular flower helps explain the appearance you want. Gerberas offer another open shape and alstroemerias a different distribution of flowers in the bouquet.
Start with their favourite colours and where they would like to display it. A bouquet with a container is ready to place on arrival; if they have a vase they want to use, its measurements will help tailor the order.
The visit and the delivery address
If you will be together at their home on 28 August, collect the bouquet on the way and give it during your visit. When they spend the day with another part of the family, that address can be your meeting and delivery point.
Decide whether the flowers will go home with them afterwards or whether you would rather send them to their home later. For a journey between homes, include the container and wrapping when considering how much space they will take up.
Two grandchildren’s bouquet with individual notes
An order example: “We would like a dahlia bouquet for our grandmother on 28 August. We will take it to the family meal and she will take it home afterwards. We need room to attach two cards without hiding the flowers.”
Each note can recall a different scene. For example: “Grandma, I remember that afternoon making your rice recipe together. Lucía.” And “Thank you for coming to my first match and staying for a snack afterwards. Mateo.” Replace these memories with your own.
Which flowers to choose

Dahlia
Main flower in our selectionWe suggest rounded dahlias if they like flowers with volume. Choose the colour and bouquet size around their taste and where they will display it.
Gerbera
Another option if they prefer open flowers and want colour to stand out. It can suit a bouquet to accompany a family visit.
Alstroemeria
Its flower clusters are an alternative for a different bouquet outline. Keep to a width that is comfortable to display or carry.

Frequently asked questions
Is it celebrated on 26 July in Mexico?
In Mexico it falls on 28 August. Spain and Argentina celebrate Grandparents’ Day on 26 July.
Is it the same as the recognition of older people?
They share 28 August in Mexico but have different scopes. Being a grandparent is a family relationship; being an older person refers to age.
Can I send the gift from another country?
Give the Mexican town, the address where they will be and a window in their local time. Include each card’s text and signature.

- Secretaría de Salud / INAPAM · Personas mayores y vínculo familiar
Distinguishes the national recognition of older people from the relationship with grandchildren. Used for that distinction without carrying over 2020 pandemic guidance or assuming dependence or shared needs.
- CONDUSEF · Día de los Abuelos, 28 de agosto
Uses Grandparents’ Day and places its Mexican celebration on every 28 August. Supports the family name and date, not flower purchases, species, quantities or delivery conditions.
- NC State Extension · Dahlia
Describes dahlias’ range of shapes, sizes and colours and use in arrangements. Does not establish Mexican availability in August, bouquet lifespan or a gift-giving custom.
