With our Message in a Genie Bottles, all of your wishes can come true. These one-of-a-kind bottles are crafted from fine glass in the shape of a genie bottle with a rounded base and narrow neck. Pick from red or clear glass to complement your event's color scheme. Each bottle has a bed of soft fine sand and natural seashells that cradle a personalized message delivered on an authentic scroll (optional). The paper is made from a delicate ivory parchment that is set on a natural oil paper embedded with cedar leaves.
The shape is what makes this invitation different from every other bottle. A rounded base and a narrow neck read as a genie's bottle the second it is lifted out of the packaging, and that gives your wording a ready-made structure: three wishes. Guests uncork it, tip the scroll out of the sand and read what you wish for your marriage, so the invitation becomes something they do rather than something they open. In red glass it carries a Moroccan or Arabian nights palette; in clear glass the sand and shells show through for a beach or destination wedding. At 7"H x 2.75"W it is substantial enough to sit on a shelf long after the date.

Which one should I choose
Bottle invitations differ by the shape of the glass and what the message is doing inside it.
| Message In A Genie Bottle Invitation | Choose it when you want the three wishes idea and a genie shape, in red glass for a themed palette or clear glass for a beach or destination wedding. |
|---|---|
| A straight-sided message in a bottle invitation | Choose it when you want a classic cast-away bottle look rather than the rounded genie silhouette. |
| A printed card invitation in an envelope | Choose it when you are mailing a large list at speed; it will not be uncorked, kept or put on a shelf. |
If you want guests to remember opening it, the genie bottle is the pick, and the red glass is the version that carries a themed color scheme.
Ordering the Message In A Genie Bottle Invitation for weddings and events
Ordering the Message In A Genie Bottle Invitation for a wedding or a large event is mainly a matter of counting households rather than guests: one bottle per invitation, plus spares for the photographer, the parents and your own keepsake. Decide early whether every scroll carries the same three wishes; 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. Logos are a custom order: send 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. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Questions shoppers ask about the Message In A Genie Bottle Invitation
How big is the Message In A Genie Bottle Invitation?
The glass genie bottle is 7"H x 2.75"W, with a rounded base and a narrow neck.
What colors does the genie bottle come in?
Red or clear glass, so you can match your event's color scheme. Clear glass lets the fine sand and the natural seashells show through.
What is inside the bottle?
A bed of soft fine sand and natural seashells that cradle the personalized message scroll, which is optional. Each bottle comes fully corked to keep the contents safe on their journey.
What is the scroll made of?
A delicate ivory parchment set on a natural oil paper embedded with cedar leaves, rolled as an authentic scroll.
Can the glass bottle itself be personalized?
Yes. The bottle is personalized in-house with up to 10 characters per line on up to four lines, which is enough for two names and a date.
What should the message say?
Most couples use the three wishes format shown in the example on this page, naming a wish such as Trust, Love or Faith with a line about what it means, then signing with their names and the date. You can write your own wording instead.
Do my guests have to break the bottle to read the message?
No. The bottle is corked, not sealed, so guests pull the cork and tip out the scroll. The bottle stays intact and keeps its sand and seashells.
Can I use these as bridal party gifts rather than invitations?
Yes. Many couples give one to each attendant as a thank-you; the bottle then becomes somewhere to store their attendant jewelry and a display of memories from the day.
Can each bottle have different wording?
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 see a proof before my bottles are made?
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 names, dates and wishes carefully before ordering.
How far ahead should I order genie bottle invitations?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US, with rush at 3 to 5 days and expedite at 1 to 3 days. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead so you can post them on your own schedule. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Do you ship internationally, and can I return them?
International shipping is by request; the cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote. Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective; non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days.
