Sugar Beach Wedding Starfish Favor*
Greet your guests with a gift from the sea with our beautiful Sugar Beach Wedding Starfish Favor. Each favor is a genuine dried sugar starfish and comes decorated with an organza ribbon to match your theme. Add our elegant matching sand dollar tag for a special touch. Place one of these exquisite favors at each place setting at your beach themed wedding or seaside event.
Nothing manufactured looks quite like this. At 4.5"-5"W each starfish is broad enough to sit across a napkin or lie on a charger as its own decoration, with the bumpy natural texture and the soft sandy tone that only a real starfish has. Because every one grew in the ocean, no two are identical, and a table of them reads as genuinely coastal rather than themed.
The starfish favor will add a touch of authenticity to your beach wedding. It makes a wonderful addition to any surfside themed celebration. Luaus, island parties, birthdays and anniversaries will sparkle when you include this gem from the sea. Brighten up your child's birthday party by letting the children dress up in grass skirts and Hawaiian shirts. Give each guest their own special starfish favor to take home, tied to a sand pail full of candy or beach toys. What a delightful way to give a truly thoughtful gift that will be treasured for years to come.
The sand dollar tag is where your wording goes, printed in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999. Eighteen characters on each of three lines is room for two names, a date and a thank you, and the tag hangs from the same organza ribbon that dresses the starfish. Guests read the tag at the table, then the starfish goes home to a bathroom shelf, a bookcase or a Christmas tree, still carrying your names.
Use one at each seat as a place setting favor, tie a card to the ribbon and let it double as a place card, or pile a basket of them by the door for guests to take on the way out.
Add your tag wording above, choose your quantity and your ribbon, and send everyone home with a piece of the beach.

Which one should I choose
A beach favor is either something from the sea or something made to look like it, and the wording either goes on the item or on a tag.
| Sugar Beach Wedding Starfish Favor | Choose it when you want the real thing: a genuine dried sugar starfish, 4.5"-5" wide, with an organza ribbon and a personalized sand dollar tag. |
|---|---|
| A starfish favor with no personalized tag | Choose it when the starfish is purely decoration and nothing needs to name the couple or the date. |
| A printed paper place card at each seat | Choose it when the seating plan is all you need and there is already another favor on the table. |
| A resin or plastic beach ornament | Choose it when the favors have to survive being posted, stacked and handled by children. |
For a seaside wedding where the table should look like the beach rather than a beach theme, the Sugar Beach Wedding Starfish Favor wins, with the sand dollar tag carrying your names.
