Decorative Beach Message in a Wine Bottle Wedding Invitation*
Charm your visitors with this Decorative Glass Starfish Message. The perfect wedding invitation for couples who want to make an everlasting memory bottled in a beautiful glass. Also great for wedding showers, commemorations, and corporate occasions.
This is the full-size one. The glass bottle stands approximately 12"H, the shape of a wine bottle rather than a little keepsake vial, and it is sold individually in 3 assorted styles and includes cork. It is filled with fine sand and a mixture of seashells, so a beach arrives inside it. Make your own message inside the glass bottle or let us do it for you.
Because the bottle is bottle-sized, the invitation inside can be a real one. The message scroll measures 8.5"W x 11"H, a full sheet rolled and slipped through the neck. Our custom invitation is imprinted on an ivory material paper and attached to a natural earthy paper, two textures that read as sand and driftwood. Include your personalized rsvp card and map, each 4.5"H x 5.5"H. Get them engraved with the couple's names and date.
Let the fresh sea air fill the room when your guests open up these wonderful invitations. Get them in the mood for island adventures. Our delightful and whimsical Invitations in a Bottle are the perfect way to welcome your friends and family to any beach themed event. Use them as place settings or fun and fancy nautical accents to your party.
Nobody throws this one away. A paper invitation lasts a month on the refrigerator; this one is still on a shelf at your first anniversary.
The engraving runs to two lines of twenty-four characters, done in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing weddings since 1999. Here are a few popular quotes: "I send my words to you over the ether net like a message in a bottle..." - John Geddes. "Life is a little like a message in a bottle, to be carried by the winds and the tides." - Gene Tierney. "If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing I'd do is save every day till Eternity and then them just with you."

Which one should I choose
Couples sending a beach invitation are usually choosing between a printed suite, a small keepsake bottle and this full-size bottle.
| Decorative Beach Message in a Wine Bottle Wedding Invitation | Choose it when the invitation itself should be the keepsake and you want the full suite inside: a 8.5" x 11" scroll on ivory and earthy paper, plus rsvp card and map, in a 12" corked bottle of sand and shells. |
|---|---|
| A traditional printed paper invitation suite | Choose it when you are mailing a large guest list in envelopes; it costs you nothing in assembly but it lives on the refrigerator, not the shelf. |
| A small keepsake message bottle | Choose it when the bottle is a favor or a save-the-date token rather than the invitation; a smaller bottle cannot hold a full-page scroll with an rsvp card and map. |
If the invitation should arrive as an event in itself and still carry the whole suite, the 12" wine bottle version is the one to order.
Ordering the Decorative Beach Message in a Wine Bottle Wedding Invitation for weddings and events
Ordering the Decorative Beach Message in a Wine Bottle Wedding Invitation for a wedding, a shower or a corporate occasion takes a little counting. Bottle personalization requires a minimum order of 12, and the response card and map carry a required minimum quantity of 24, so count one bottle per household rather than per guest and order the whole run at once so every bottle matches. If bottles should carry different wording, order the full quantity and then email your list to [email protected] so it can be matched to your order; the same address takes your scroll wording and your map details. Company logos are handled as a custom order: send 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 reproduced. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping; for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].

Can I see a proof of the engraving and the scroll before they 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 time.

How far ahead should I order bottle invitations for a wedding?
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. Because invitations go out months before the day, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Do you ship these 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 final sale unless defective, while non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days.
