Beach Invitation in a Bottle Shell Wine Stopper
Whisk your guests away to sunshine and crystal blue water with this memorable "Message in a Bottle" wedding invitation. Perfect for a couple celebrating their special day with sand between their toes, this customizable glass flask invites attendees with style. Sand and seashells settle in the base of the Beach Invitation in a Bottle Shell Wine Stopper, so the whole shoreline arrives on the doormat instead of a printed picture of one.
This sand and seashells "Message in a Bottle" exemplifies everything for a shoreline themed wedding. Make it personal with your own names and event date, which serves as a keepsake for years to come, helping guests remember your special day long after the sand has been shaken out of their shoes. The tropical glass message bottle stands 6.5" high and 3.1" wide, with enough weight in the hand to feel like something found on a beach rather than something ordered.
Start by including the message scroll, for the sentiment of a letter lost at sea. Rolled and slipped through the neck of the bottle, your wording has to be drawn out and unrolled before a word of it can be read, and that small moment of discovery is the entire point of a beach invitation. Include a response card so guests can tell you at the earliest opportunity. For those feeling especially adventurous, add a map and directions insert with an X marking the spot where the festivities begin. Finish the outfit with a tag, and the only thing you will be missing is a margarita.
A sailboat anchor charm can ride on the bottle, and a white mailing box is available so each invitation travels safely through the post.
With a welcome like this, your guests will be clearing their calendars and dusting off their best sunhats to book two tickets to paradise. Months later the bottle is still on a shelf with the scroll curled inside it, which is more than any folded card manages.
Add your bottle personalization text above, choose the inserts your invitation needs, set your quantity, and let HansonEllis personalize the Beach Invitation in a Bottle for you in-house.

Which one should I choose
A beach wedding invitation has one job beyond the date and the address: making people picture the place. The choice is how far you want to push it.
| Beach Invitation in a Bottle Shell Wine Stopper | Choose it when you want the invitation to arrive as an object: a 6.5" glass bottle with sand and seashells, your names and date on the outside and the wording rolled up inside. |
|---|---|
| A printed beach-themed card invitation | Choose it for a long guest list where every invitation has to be printed flat and posted in one run. |
| A save the date magnet or postcard | Choose it for the early announcement, then send the bottles to the guests who are travelling and need the full details. |
If the guest list is small enough to justify one bottle per household, the Beach Invitation in a Bottle does what a card cannot: it stays on the shelf after the wedding.
Ordering the Beach Invitation in a Bottle Shell Wine Stopper for weddings and events
Ordering the Beach Invitation in a Bottle for a wedding or a themed event starts with your household count rather than your guest count, since one bottle usually goes to a couple or a family. The message scroll, the response card and the map and directions insert each require a minimum quantity of 24, and the tag a minimum of 12, so most orders are placed in one batch. If each bottle needs a different name, place the order and then email the list to [email protected]. Company logos on an invitation are a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected], where a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping; for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
