A Moment in Time Sea Life Candle Box*

A touch of grace, elegance and style is what makes these wedding favors unique and special, and it starts on the outside. Our "treasured memories" wording paper has all the words that sum up your magical day where two hearts become one, and it is wrapped around the box so every guest reads it before they open anything.
Each paper is elegantly wrapped around a 3.5" white glossy box and embellished with a satin chocolate brown ribbon accented with a band of mini rhinestones, so the favor catches the light from across the table. Lift the lid and inside sits a seashell, a starfish or a seahorse candle resting on a bed of wood grass. The assortment is what makes a table look collected rather than mass-produced: one guest finds a shell, the next finds a seahorse, and both feel chosen. Your guests will be delighted as they receive this gift of gratitude.
For a personal touch, have the bride and groom's names and event date personalized on our A Moment in Time Favor Card, printed in-house by HansonEllis, the same team that has personalized gifts since 1999. Two names and a date is the classic, though a line of thanks or the name of the beach you married on works just as well on a card that guests tend to keep.
At 3.5"W x 3.5"H the A Moment in Time Sea Life Candle Box sits neatly at a place setting, stacks in a welcome bag and lines up beautifully along a long table. It suits a beach wedding, a seaside rehearsal dinner, a coastal bridal shower or an anniversary dinner, and the candle inside means the favor gets lit at home rather than left in a drawer.
Add your favor card wording above, choose your quantity, and let every guest carry a little of the ocean home.

- Each candle sits on a bed of wood grass inside the box, which is packing as well as presentation, so lift the candle out before lighting it.

Which one should I choose
Beach favors usually come down to whether guests take home something decorative or something they will actually light.
| A Moment in Time Sea Life Candle Box with the personalized favor card | Choose it when the favor should be boxed, ribboned and dated, and should carry your names to every seat at the reception. |
|---|---|
| The same candle box without the personalized card | Choose it when you need fewer than 12 favors or the table signage already carries your names and date. |
| A loose shell, starfish or paper favor box | Choose it when the favor is scattered table decor rather than a gift each guest takes home and uses. |
For a seated beach reception, the boxed sea life candle with the printed card wins: it is lit at home, and your date goes with it.
