Give a keepsake from the sea for guests to use during the holidays. Make it extra special and add your glass ornaments with our fine sand and real mini seashells. It's the perfect favor for guests attending winter and destination weddings or a holiday event. Clear glass, approximately 70mm in diameter, catches light on the tree the way it catches it on a beach, and the sand and shells settle into a tiny shoreline of their own at the bottom of the globe.
Add our thank you message scroll with your choice of several beach theme images to match your theme. Also, include our gift box decorated with a satin bow to present to guests. The scroll rolls inside the ornament on Unryu or linen message paper, so guests unroll your words the first time they hold it and again every year afterwards.
For a special touch, have the couple's names or a short message engraved on the ornament. The engraving takes up to 10 characters on a line and up to four lines, which is room for two names, a destination and a date. HansonEllis engraves each one in-house and has been personalizing gifts since 1999. The message ornament is a tropical gem that helps keep your event a memorable one throughout the holiday season.
Guests say so themselves. Kimberly in Missouri said the ornaments went perfectly with her destination wedding theme and went straight into the welcome gift bags, arriving quickly and easy to assemble. Kathy in Chicago reported that her guests loved them, adults, nieces and nephews alike, and called them a unique and fun wedding favor you can use forever. Trudy in Delaware bought dozens as welcome gifts for her renters and found them very nicely done. Jill in Pennsylvania ordered them for an annual girls getaway as the perfect memory for her best friends. Amy in Texas, marrying in Bora Bora the day after Christmas, redid the scroll inside and turned the ornament into her wedding invitation. Alexis in San Diego praised the product and the service, noting the engraving reads softly against clear glass.

It is engraved in-house by HansonEllis with up to 10 characters per line on up to 4 lines, which is enough for two names, a destination and a date.
Is the engraving easy to read on clear glass?
