Decorative Glass Starfish Message In A Bottle Wedding Invitation*
Charm your visitors with this Decorative Glass Starfish Message In A Bottle Wedding Invitation. It is the perfect wedding invitation for couples who want to make an everlasting memory bottled in a beautiful glass, and it is just as good for wedding showers, commemorations and corporate occasions. The bottle stands approximately 6.5"H x 1.75"D, is closed with a cork, and is sold individually in three assorted bottle styles, so a run of invitations has the hand-gathered look of something found rather than ordered.
It is filled with fine sand, a mixture of seashells, and is decorated with a genuine starfish. Pick one up and it has weight. Put it on a hall table and it stays there. That is the whole argument for a bottle invitation over a folded card: the card goes on the fridge for a month and then into the recycling, while the bottle is still on a shelf when the photographs come back from the wedding.
Make your own message inside the glass bottle or let us do it for you. Our custom invitation is imprinted on an ivory material paper and attached to a natural earthy paper, rolled into a message scroll that has to be drawn out through the neck of the bottle before a word of it can be read. That small moment of discovery is the point. Include a customized tag and your personalized rsvp card, both carrying the couple's names and date, so guests can reply without hunting for an email address. Add a map and directions insert for the guests who are travelling, and a white ridged mailing box to complete the package.
Personalization on the bottle itself is done in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999, with room for up to 24 characters on each of two lines, which is enough for two names and a date. If you order the optional mailing box we will tie the starfish to the bottle. Without the mailing box the starfish is shipped in a bag to prevent breakage or damage during shipment, prepared with raffia so it can easily be tied onto the bottle at home.
Add your bottle personalization above, choose the inserts your invitation needs, set your quantity, and send an invitation nobody throws away.

Which one should I choose
A beach wedding invitation has one job beyond the date and the address, which is making people picture the place. The choice is how far you want to push that.
| Decorative Glass Starfish Message In A Bottle Wedding Invitation | Choose it when you want the invitation to arrive as an object: a corked 6.5" glass bottle of sand, seashells and a genuine starfish, with the wording rolled up inside. |
|---|---|
| A printed beach-themed card invitation | Choose it for a long guest list where every invitation has to print flat and post 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 household count is small enough to justify one bottle per address, the Decorative Glass Starfish Message In A Bottle does what a card cannot: it is still on the shelf after the wedding.
Ordering the Decorative Glass Starfish Message In A Bottle Wedding Invitation for weddings and events
Ordering the Decorative Glass Starfish Message In A Bottle Wedding Invitation starts with your household count rather than your guest count, since one bottle usually goes to a couple or a family. Bottle personalization has no minimum, while 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 36, so most orders are placed in one batch. If each bottle or tag needs a different name, place the order and then email the list to [email protected] so it can be matched to your order. A company logo on an invitation is 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].
