Make your event even more special with this elegant glass bottle invitation. Each glass comes filled with fine sand, seashells, natural beach starfish, and a cork with LED lights. Personalize your own message and include our RSVP postcard with a mailing box to complete your invitations. Get it personalized with the couple's name and event date on the bottle to add an extra personal touch.
Hold one and you understand why guests keep them. The Beach Starfish Message In A Bottle w/ LED String Lights is a full 750 ml bottle, 11.25 inches tall and 3 inches across, with real weight in the hand. Inside, fine sand settles into a soft drift, seashells rest against the glass, and a natural beach starfish sits at the center like something found at the tide line that morning. Switch on the LED string cork and the whole bottle glows from the inside, turning a hall table, a bookshelf or a doorstep delivery into a small piece of shoreline.
That is the difference between an invitation and an event that starts early. A printed card is read once and filed away. A bottle gets carried around the house, set on a mantel, photographed, and passed to whoever walks in next, and it is still standing there long after the last dance. Because the couple's name and the event date are personalized on the bottle itself, the keepsake always says whose day it was.
It suits far more than a beach ceremony. Couples use the Beach Starfish Message In A Bottle for destination weddings and island elopements, for save-the-dates that need to land months ahead, for engagement parties, vow renewals and milestone anniversaries, for coastal and nautical showers, and for companies sending an invitation nobody deletes. Every bottle is personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999.
One reviewer put it plainly: really, really nice quality, and do not hesitate to order these. She liked the cork that came with hers so much that she never even bothered with the lights.
Add your bottle personalization above, choose your quantity, and let your guests unroll the news.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers usually weigh this bottle against a printed invitation suite or against a plainer glass bottle invitation without the beach filling.
| Beach Starfish Message In A Bottle w/ LED String Lights | Choose it when the invitation should look and feel like the shoreline: 750 ml of glass, fine sand, sea shells, a natural starfish and a cork that lights the bottle from the inside. |
|---|---|
| A plain glass bottle invitation with only a scroll | Choose it when you want the bottle idea in its simplest form and do not need the sand, shells, starfish or LED cork. |
| A printed paper invitation suite | Choose it when you are sending a large guest list by post and want the lowest weight and the fastest addressing; it will not be kept on a shelf afterwards. |
For a beach or destination wedding where the invitation is part of the story, the Beach Starfish Message In A Bottle with the LED string cork is the one guests remember.
