Inside each pot is a pair of magic wedding beans that are marked with the word "Love" and "Thank You" on them. Those two words are the standard pairing, and they say the two things a couple most wants to say on the day. Each bean can also carry your own wording instead: up to 10 characters on the first bean and up to 10 on the second, so the pair can read your two first names, your wedding date, or a two-part line that only lands when a guest turns over both beans.
Each bean measures just 1/2" to 5/8" long, and that is the whole charm of the thing. A favor this small does not get set aside; it gets picked up. Guests hold it between finger and thumb, tilt it toward the candlelight to read the lettering, pass it to the person beside them and then tuck it away. The little terra cotta pot it sits in does the other half of the work. At each place setting it reads as a tiny potted plant rather than a wrapped sweet, so the table looks alive, green and considered before anyone has sat down.
The Personalized Magic Wishing Bean in Terra Cotta Pot is the rare favor with something to do after the party. A bean marked with your names is a keepsake on the day and a growing thing afterward, which is why it suits a garden wedding, a spring shower, a baby shower or any celebration that is really about something beginning. One bride who had the beans engraved with the couple's names for her wedding favors said the beans were great, that they arrived with a nice box and some spare beans, that they grow very easily, and that her guests loved them.
Order one pot for each guest and they become the place settings, the decoration and the thank-you all at once, which is three jobs and one item. Give a single pot and it is a small, unusual gift for a mother, a teacher, a new neighbor or a friend who plants things: two beans, two short messages, and a story worth telling when someone asks where it came from.
Type your wording for the first and second bean above, choose your quantity, and send your guests home with something that grows.

Which one should I choose
Magic wishing bean favors differ mainly in what the beans arrive in, which decides how they look on the table.
| Personalized Magic Wishing Bean in Terra Cotta Pot | Choose it when you want the favor to read as a tiny potted plant at each place, with two beans carrying two separate messages. |
|---|---|
| A magic wishing bean in a mini watering can | Choose it when you would rather the container itself be the keepsake and the garden theme be more literal. |
| A wrapped candy or almond favor | Choose it only if you want something eaten that evening; it leaves nothing behind afterward. |
For a favor guests keep and plant, the terra cotta pot is the pick, and the two beans give you two chances to say something.
Ordering the Personalized Magic Wishing Bean in Terra Cotta Pot for weddings and events
Ordering the Personalized Magic Wishing Bean in Terra Cotta Pot for a wedding or a party is mostly a question of counting: one pot per guest if the beans double as the place settings, or one per couple if you are seating them in pairs, plus a few spares. Each pot carries two beans, so decide early whether both beans say the same thing at every seat or whether some guests get different wording. If the wording varies, order the full quantity and email your list to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and for a wedding it is best to order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Questions shoppers ask about the Personalized Magic Wishing Bean in Terra Cotta Pot

A pair of magic wedding beans. As standard they are marked with the word "Love" and the words "Thank You", one message per bean.
How big are the magic wishing beans?
Each bean is 1/2" to 5/8" long, small enough to hold between finger and thumb and easy for a guest to pocket and take home.
Can I put my own wording on the beans?
Yes. The 1st bean and the 2nd bean are personalized separately, each with up to 10 characters on a single line, so you can use both names, a date, or a two-part message.
How many characters fit on one bean?
Ten characters on one line, spaces included. Short wording such as "Ava & Leo", "6.12.27" or "Let Love" fits comfortably.
How are the beans personalized?
They are personalized in-house by HansonEllis. One reviewer described having the beans engraved with the couple's names for her wedding favors.
Do the beans actually grow?
One bride who used them as wedding favors reported that they grow very easily and that her guests loved them. If you want planting details to pass on to your guests, email [email protected].
How should I order them for a wedding guest list?
Order one pot per guest, or one per couple if you are setting them two to a place. Adding a few spares covers last-minute additions to the table.
Can I see a proof before the beans are personalized?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check both bean messages carefully before ordering.

Yes. Order the quantity you need, then email your list to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can I have a company name or logo on them?
A short company name fits within the 10 characters on a bean. Logos are a custom order: email 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 done.
How long does it take to get magic wishing beans?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) production are available. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Can I return them, and do you ship internationally?
Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective; non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days. International shipping is by request, the cart calculates US shipping only, and international orders cannot be rushed. Email [email protected] for a quote.
