Island Seashell Toothpicks with Shell Holder*
An island theme party would not be complete without seashell toothpicks.
Add a touch from the sea to your beach or island themed wedding with these exotic toothpicks. Each one comes adorned with a variety of mini seashells, and the set is displayed in a polished shell toothpick holder that looks as though it was picked up on the tide line that morning. Nothing about it is printed on or plastic: the shells are the decoration.
Use them for your hors d'oeuvres during your cocktail hour. Melon and prosciutto, olives, shrimp, the little skewers going around on trays. Guests reach for a pick, notice the shells between their fingers, and the theme of your day reaches them before anyone has made a speech. Set the holder out on the bar or on each cocktail table and it doubles as a small piece of decoration in its own right, standing 3-1/4" high on a 2" base.
For a special touch, have a message personalized with the couple's names and the event date on the shell holder, and give them out as wedding favors. That is the version guests take home. Personalized in-house by HansonEllis, the holder stops being a serving piece and becomes the thing that sits on a kitchen windowsill for years, still holding picks, still carrying your names and the date you married.
The set includes approximately 25 toothpicks in the shell holder, which makes it easy to plan: one set per cocktail table for serving, or one set per guest or per couple when you are giving them as favors.
It suits more than a wedding. A beach-themed rehearsal dinner, an engagement party on a deck, a bridal shower with a shoreline table, a summer housewarming, a milestone birthday somewhere with sand in the plan. Anywhere the food is small, passed around and meant to be picked up, the Island Seashell Toothpicks with Shell Holder belong on the table.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and bring the shoreline to the cocktail hour.

Which one should I choose
For a beach themed cocktail hour the choice is between a serving piece that carries the theme and a plain one that does not, and between a favor guests use and a favor they leave on the table.
| Island Seashell Toothpicks with Shell Holder | Choose it when the picks and the holder should both look like they came off the shoreline, and when you want to personalize the holder with your names and date as a favor. |
|---|---|
| Plain cocktail picks in a dish | Choose those when the catering just needs picks and the table already carries the theme elsewhere; nothing to personalize and nothing to take home. |
| A separate wedding favor plus plain serving picks | Choose that when the favor has to be something guests keep in a drawer; this set does both jobs with one item on the table. |
If you want the cocktail hour and the favor table to say the same thing, personalize the shell holder and let one item do both.
