Message in a Bamboo Tube Invitation*
This message in a bamboo tube is perfect for any Asian or beach themed event.
This Message in a Bamboo Tube Invitation is a great beginning to what is sure to be a fabulous wedding or eco friendly event. Instead of an envelope that goes straight into the recycling, your guests are handed a length of real bamboo, uncap it, and slide the message out. The invitation box can include a personalized invitation insert made to order by us, or can easily fit your own invitations for those who prefer the DIY approach, so you can hand the wording over to us or keep complete control of the design yourself.
The tube itself is made of durable bamboo, and can also be personalized with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date, a thank you message, or any other personal message of your choice, done in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999. That personalization is what turns the tube into a keepsake. The paper inside gets read once. A bamboo tube carrying two names and a date ends up on a shelf, a desk or a bookcase, still there years later.

Which one should I choose
Once you have decided against a plain envelope, the choice is between this bamboo tube and the other natural pieces you can carry through the rest of the day.
| Message in a Bamboo Tube Invitation | Choose it when the invitation is the first impression of an Asian-themed or eco-friendly wedding and should survive as a keepsake. |
|---|---|
| Cherry Blossom Asian Bamboo Fans | Choose these as the ceremony or reception favor that continues the theme the tube started, especially for a warm-weather wedding. |
| Personalized Handmade Mini Bamboo Whistles | Choose these when you want a playful, all natural favor for guests of every age rather than something for the mailbox. |
| A standard paper invitation and envelope | Choose it only when postage and budget rule everything else; it will not be kept, and it sets no theme at all. |
Send the bamboo tube invitation first, then let the fans or whistles carry the same natural theme through to the reception.

Questions shoppers ask about the Message in a Bamboo Tube Invitation
How big is the Message in a Bamboo Tube Invitation?
The bamboo tube is approximately 12"L x 1-1/4"W. It is long enough to take a rolled invitation and slim enough to sit comfortably in a guest's hand.
Does the invitation itself come with it?
You have both options. The invitation box can include a personalized invitation insert made to order by us, or it can easily fit your own invitations if you prefer the DIY approach.
Is there a minimum if I want you to make the invitation insert?
The made-to-order message insert requires a minimum order of 12. The bamboo tube itself has no minimum, so you can order tubes on their own in any quantity you like.
How is the bamboo tube personalized?
It is personalized in-house by HansonEllis with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date, a thank you message, or any other personal message of your choice.
How much wording can I put on it?
Keep it short. Two names and a date, or a brief line of thanks, sit best on a tube this slim; long paragraphs belong on the invitation inside, not on the bamboo.
Can I have a company logo on the tubes for a corporate event?
A logo is handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be done.
Can each tube carry a different guest's name?
Yes. Order the full quantity you need and then email your list of names to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can I see a proof of the wording first?
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 read your wording carefully before ordering.
How far ahead of the wedding should I order?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days plus 2 to 5 days US shipping, with rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) available. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead so you have time to address and mail them.
Can these be mailed in the post?
The tube is made of durable bamboo rather than paper. Take one to your post office to confirm postage and handling for a tube of approximately 12"L before you mail the whole guest list.
Do you ship bamboo tube invitations outside the United States?
International shipping is by request. The shopping cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote.
Can I return them?
Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective. Tubes ordered without personalization can be returned within 14 days.
