Send Flowers to Parents in Vietnam from Switzerland
By the Vietnam Flower Delivery team · 2026-11-06
Yes, you can send fresh flowers to your parents in Vietnam directly from Switzerland using WhatsApp. Vietnam Flower Delivery by Hoa Lang Thang accepts international card or bank transfer payments; orders placed before 2 p.m. Vietnam time typically arrive next day in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. You describe what your parents like or pick a design type, we arrange it from local and imported blooms, send you a real photo of the finished bouquet, then deliver it to their address with a card message in Vietnamese if you wish. We do not deliver outside those two cities. The entire process takes 24–48 hours from order to doorstep. Ask us for a quote on WhatsApp—costs depend on season, design and delivery zone within each city.
How does cross-border flower ordering from Switzerland work?
When you order from abroad, the main difference is time and payment method. You contact us on WhatsApp with your parents' full address and phone number in Vietnam (format: +84 9, +84 8, or +84 3 for mobile). You describe the flowers—colours, style, occasion—or reference a collection type. We confirm delivery availability for your parents' address, then send a payment link for international card or bank transfer. Once cleared, we source and arrange the bouquet the same day or next morning, photograph it in full detail, and send you the image for approval before delivery. This happens within 24–48 hours from order to their door. The time difference works in your favour: you order in Swiss evening, we deliver in Vietnamese morning or afternoon. No surprise waiting—you see exactly what they receive.

What address and phone information do I need to provide?
Your parents need a full Vietnamese address: street number, ward, district, and city (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City). Include a landline or mobile number in the format +84 [1–9] [3–9 digits]. Our driver calls 15 minutes before arrival so your parent can be home or arrange entry. Avoid vague addresses like "near the market" or apartment blocks without a unit number—we will ask for clarification and may delay delivery. Post office box addresses do not work. If your parents move frequently or live in a mixed neighbourhood, a brief landmark helps: "opposite the green café" or "blue gate entrance." Double-check the number and spelling before you submit; wrong addresses cost time to correct and may miss the next-day window.
Which occasions suit sending flowers to parents?
Flowers for parents in Vietnam honour specific moments with different meanings and etiquette. Birthdays call for warm colours—yellow, coral, pink—arranged in soft shapes, never in threes or fives (unlucky numbers). Mother's Day and March 8 (Women's Day) overlap in Vietnam; red roses and lilies are traditional, but pastel mixes feel modern and personal. Tet (Lunar New Year) favours gold, red, and peach tones, often paired with branches and symbolic plants. October 20 (Vietnamese Women's Day) also suits elegant arrangements. Anniversaries of parents' marriage benefit from anniversary-style roses and mixed stems. For sympathy—if a parent is ill or you're honouring a passed relative on a death anniversary—white and pale lilies, chrysanthemums are respectful and appropriate. Avoid red for funerals; white, yellow, and soft purple convey respect. Each occasion has its own card message tone, which we can help translate to Vietnamese for you.

What should I check before sending flowers to parents in Vietnam?
Before you order:
- Is the address in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City? (We deliver only those two cities; say no to others.)
- Do you have a valid Vietnamese phone number for your parents (starting +84)?
- What is the occasion and preferred colour? (Red for Tet and love, white for funerals, warm tones for birthdays.)
- Do you want a card message in Vietnamese, and if so, what tone? (Formal for elders, warm for close family.)
- Is there a cultural taboo I should know? (Clocks symbolize death; gifting four anything is avoided; yellow chrysanthemums mean "no" in some contexts.)
After you approve the photo:
- Confirm your parents' phone number one more time—our driver will call.
- Note the delivery window so they stay home or arrange a neighbour.
- Ask them to take a photo when the flowers arrive—a lovely keepsake across distance.

Can I send flowers to my parents in a city outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City?
No. We deliver only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Do not place an order for those addresses. If you are unsure which city your parents are in, ask them or check their postal code online. If they are outside our service areas, explore local Vietnamese florists near them or ask your parents to visit a shop in person. We are honest about our limits to avoid disappointment on their end.
What does the card message look like, and can it be in Vietnamese?
We write your message on a printed card in the bouquet. If you compose it in English, we translate it to Vietnamese and print both or Vietnamese only, as you prefer. Traditional messages for parents include:
- Birthday: "Chúc mừng ngày sinh nhật yêu dấu. Tình yêu con" (Happy birthday, beloved one. Your child's love.)
- Mother's Day / March 8: "Gửi mẹ yêu nhân ngày quốc tế phụ nữ. Con luôn nhớ" (For beloved mother on Women's Day. I always remember.)
- Tet: "Chúc cha mẹ năm mới an lành, khỏe mạnh, hạnh phúc" (Wishing you both health, peace, and joy in the new year.)
- Sympathy: "Cảm ơn sự ủng hộ của cha mẹ. Con sẽ luôn nhớ" (Thank you for your support. I will always remember.)
These are examples; your own words, even short, are more meaningful. We translate directly—no flowery additions—so your voice stays true.
