Ok to bring flowers to an iftar? Egypt.?

I have heard that you should only bring flowers for weddings and funerals. Is it okay to bring for an iftar?

Ok to bring flowers to an iftar? Egypt.?
The traditional is oriental sweets, but flowers may be accepted by most people specially if you don't know what to take with you or you can't buy oriental sweets.
Reply:last ramadan i went to have iftar with a best friend i hadn't seen for a while, i knew she would like flowers and so i took a bunch nicely tied with a card on which i wrote a small poem she likes, she was very pleased, it's ok to bring flowers, if they are a typical egyptian family and you don't know them that well, maybe oriental sweets would do the trick, gifts should go with the person, we don't have to appreciate them, but they should
Reply:sure it's fine.. Everybody loves flowers
Reply:Well, it is true in the case of weddings, not so sure about funerals. I have not seen that happen in a very long time. It feels weird to go to a funeral carrying flowers!!!





As for Iftar, again it is a bit odd. People usually bring sweets and different types of food when visiting others for iftar, but not flowers. I do not think anyone will take this in a negative way, but it will be a bit wierd.
Reply:i think that's a good gesture, and so modern, i think I'LL do go for that ,too , go ahead and bon iftar!!!!!!!!
Reply:Flowers are given at weddings but not at funerals in the middle east. For Iftar the hostess will be very busy preparing the meal, warming the dishes, waiting for late arrivals, serving drinks, arranging a space for her guests to pray, giving flowers needs attention and will be extra burden for her.
