About Instead of Flowers

Instead of Flowers is an Atlanta-based meal delivery and gifting business built around sending prepared food when words or flowers alone may not feel sufficient. Its chef-prepared gourmet meals are delivered ready to heat and serve, offering a practical option for occasions such as welcoming a new parent, supporting someone recovering from illness or surgery, expressing sympathy, celebrating, or simply making dinner easier.

The company says its culinary team prepares menu items with fresh ingredients and presents food as a way to bring people together around the table. The online selection includes individual gourmet entrées, casseroles, soups and artisanal boards. Menus feature dishes such as beef bourguignon, roasted pork tenderloin, shrimp scampi, mango chicken, salmon preparations and turkey with dressing, alongside casseroles including lasagna, chicken tetrazzini and vegetable lasagna.

Soup and board selections broaden the range beyond complete entrées. The current assortment also identifies vegetarian, gluten-free and shellfish- or seafood-free options; availability varies by menu, so customers can use the dietary filters to review choices. The selection is not presented as a recurring meal-plan or subscription service. Ordering is designed to accommodate both the sender and the recipient.

A sender can choose a meal package, select a meal size and preferred delivery date, and place the order online. For a Recipient’s Choice gift, the recipient can choose the entrée, sides and dessert, as well as the arrival date; gift cards provide another flexible option. The brand also offers a separate gift-shop selection, including greeting cards and baby gifts, that can accompany a meal.

Instead of Flowers describes its work as premium food delivery for life’s occasions and has been serving that purpose for more than two decades. Its website directs customers to the current menu and online ordering for available choices and delivery details.
