Personalized Macabebe Clam Shells
Polished to a perfect luster, our Personalized Macabebe Clam Shells bring home a taste of the ocean. Make a splash at your big event or special day with these gorgeous shells and their pearlized sheen, a shine that will last long past the last dance. Cultivated straight from nature, these shells are a completely unique favor for your guests, as no two are exactly alike.
That is what makes them work so well as place cards. Set one at every seat with the guest's name across the shell and the escort table stops being paperwork: guests find their name, turn the shell over in their hand, and it goes into a pocket or a handbag instead of into the bin with the printed cards. At 4"-5"L there is room for a name and a date, a table number and a name, or a short line for the two of you, personalized in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999.
Perfect as favors for your beach or pirate-themed party, or as special gifts for your shower or even your big day, these wonderful shells will provide your guests with a keepsake they'll treasure long after the event has passed. They sit beautifully on a bare wood table, on sand-colored linen, beside a candle, or nested in greenery down the centre of a long table. They also work far from any coastline: a spring bridal shower, a milestone birthday dinner, a rehearsal dinner for a couple who met on the water.
These lovely Personalized Macabebe Clam Shells are ready to make your already memorable event something that will last forever in the minds of your guests. Leave a smile on their faces every time they see these wonderful little personalized shells, remembering the spectacular time they had at your big event.
Given these are 100% natural seashells, please be aware no two seashells will ever be the same. Each seashell is unique in size, shape, color and may include natural markings. That variation is the point rather than a flaw; the guest who takes one home has a shell nobody else at the wedding received.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and let the ocean set your tables.

Which one should I choose
Most shoppers are deciding between a natural shell and the printed alternatives that do the same job on the table.
| Personalized Macabebe Clam Shells | Choose them when you want the place card and the favor to be the same object, and when a real shell suits the setting. |
|---|---|
| Printed paper place cards | Choose them when you need dozens of long names and titles set in small type; they will not leave with the guest. |
| A plain, unpersonalized shell or scatter shell | Choose it for decoration only; without a name or date it is table dressing rather than a keepsake. |
For a beach or destination table where the favor should also seat the guest, the Personalized Macabebe Clam Shells do both jobs at once.
