Royal Message in a Bottle with Optional Scroll Box*
This bottle invitation features unique, elegant packaging.
Give your guests a memorable invitation to your next beach bash with the Royal Message in a Bottle with Optional Scroll Box. This deluxe invitation will have everyone ready to kick off their shoes and feel the ocean lapping at their toes, complete with a unique wooden box that can be customized for your particular event. It offers a tropical feel to something as simple as sending a party invitation, and it does it before anyone has read a single line.
Filled with sand and tiny shells, the corked bottle is fashioned in the style of a vintage medicine bottle. It fits cozily in the optional wooden scroll box, making the presentation just as memorable as its contents, and the two pieces arrive as one object rather than a card in an envelope. The bottle, the box or both can be customized, which is what makes the Royal Message in a Bottle with Optional Scroll Box feel like it was made for your event and nobody else's.
What goes inside is up to you. Add your own contents, or use the matching and convenient oil paper and pressed cedar leaves customized invite, which rolls into the bottle and carries your wording in the same handmade language as the box around it. A response card brings the replies back to you, and a shipping box carries the whole thing safely through the post to your recipient's doorstep.
Make sure your island soiree is complete with Handmade Personalized Coconut Wine Glasses, perfect for sipping wine or daiquiris. Once your friends and family arrive, they'll never want to go home, but when it's time, send them home with a Beach Starfish Soap to remind them of the good times.
With a message in a bottle for an invitation, they'll be blown away by your great gathering. You'll be rocking out until the sun comes up, and everyone will be scouring the beach to find shells and treats to fill their bottles with as a sweet memory.
Choose your quantity above and send an invitation your guests keep on the shelf long after the party is over.

Which one should I choose
The choice here is between an invitation that is opened and kept, and one that is opened and filed.
| Royal Message in a Bottle with Optional Scroll Box | Choose it when the presentation matters as much as the wording: a corked bottle of sand and shells sitting in a customized wooden box. |
|---|---|
| The bottle on its own, without the scroll box | Choose it when the invitations are being handed out by hand at a shower or a dinner and the box would only add bulk. |
| A printed card invitation | Choose it when the guest list is very large and every household simply needs the date in the post, read once and recycled. |
For a beach bash or an island wedding, the bottle in the wooden scroll box is the invitation guests photograph and then keep.

Questions shoppers ask about the Royal Message in a Bottle with Optional Scroll Box
What exactly is the scroll box?
It is a wooden box that the corked bottle fits cozily inside, so the invitation arrives as a presentation piece rather than a bottle on its own. It is optional, as the product name says, and it can be customized for your event.
What is inside the bottle?
Sand and tiny shells, sealed with a cork, in a bottle fashioned in the style of a vintage medicine bottle. Your invite rolls in with them, or you can add contents of your own.
How big is the bottle?
bottle size: 8-3/4"H x 2-1/2"W. That is a full-size bottle, which is why the shipping box is worth adding if the invitations are going out in the post.
Can I customize the bottle and the box, or only one of them?
Either. The choice of customizing the bottle, the box or both is yours, which is what makes this invitation feel built for one event.
How do I send you my wording?
This page does not show a text box for your wording, so email it to [email protected] with your order number after you order, or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Is the invite inside included?
The matching oil paper and pressed cedar leaves invite is an option rather than part of the bottle, and you can use contents of your own instead.
Can I add a response card?
Yes. A response card is available so your guests can reply, and it is added on this page along with the shipping box.
Can every bottle carry a different name?
Yes. Order the full quantity you need and email your list to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can I put a company logo on the box?
Yes, by custom order. Email your logo as 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 I see a proof first?
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 your wording carefully before ordering.
How long does it take, and is there a minimum order?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days plus 2 to 5 days US shipping, with rush at 3 to 5 days and expedite at 1 to 3. There is no minimum order. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead.
Can you ship internationally, and can I return them?
International shipping is available by request; the cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected]. Personalized items are made to order and final sale unless defective, while non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days.
