Personalized Plantable Wishing Beans are the smallest favor we make and the one guests talk about longest. Each order is a set of 12 beans, every one about half an inch long, and each carries the word you choose, personalized in-house by HansonEllis. Six characters is the whole canvas, which is exactly what makes it work: you are not writing a speech, you are choosing the one word you would wish over somebody.
Now you can personalize your name on our magic beans, or a date, or the wish itself. HOPE. PEACE. LOVE. EMMA. 2027. THANKS. A word that short lands in a way a printed card never quite does, because the guest has to hold the bean and read it, and then decide what to do with it.
They are wishing beans, so they invite a wish. Set one at every place setting at a wedding reception, tuck one into a shower favor bag, drop one into a thank you card, or hand them out at a milestone party where the toast needs something to hold onto. They cost nothing in table space and weigh nothing in the post.
One customer ordered the wishing beans for her parents' 60th wedding anniversary, personalized with her mother and father's wish for every guest: health and happiness. The beans arrived a week before the party and she planted them ahead of the day. The night before, she thought they were out of luck, then on the day of the party the word came up. She was able to show every guest that the word really had appeared, and said everyone was impressed, most of all her parents.
That is the appeal of the Personalized Plantable Wishing Beans: they are plantable, they are personal, and they turn a favor into something that happens rather than something that sits on a plate. Guests who plant theirs get a small event of their own weeks later; guests who keep theirs have a six-letter reminder of your day in a pocket or on a windowsill.
Add your word above, choose your quantity, and give everyone at the table something to wish on.

Which one should I choose
A wishing bean is chosen against the other things people put at a place setting, and it behaves differently from all of them.
| 12 Personalized Plantable Wishing Beans | Choose them when you want a favor guests do something with: a plantable bean personalized with a name, a year or a single wish. |
|---|---|
| A printed favor card or place card | Choose it when the wording needs to be long; a card carries a full sentence, but nothing happens to it after the night. |
| A plain, unpersonalized seed packet favor | Choose it for a garden theme on a tight timeline; without your word on it, it is not a keepsake from your day. |
For a table favor that guests keep, talk about and sometimes plant, the personalized wishing beans do more with six characters than a card does with a paragraph.

Questions shoppers ask about the 12 Personalized Plantable Wishing Beans
How many beans come in a set?
Twelve. The listing is for 12 Personalized Plantable Wishing Beans, and the beans are sold on their own.
How big is each bean?
Approximately 0.5" long, small enough to sit at a place setting, slip into a card or fit in a pocket.
How many characters can I personalize on a bean?
Up to 6 characters on one line. That covers a short name, a year, or a word such as HOPE or THANKS.
Who personalizes the beans?
They are personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999.
Will the word really appear if I plant one?
The beans are plantable wishing beans, personalized before they are sent. One customer planted hers ahead of a 60th anniversary party and reported that the word came up on the day. Results with any living seed vary, so no growing outcome is promised here; if you have questions about planting, email [email protected].
Can different beans carry different words?
Order the full quantity you need, then email your list of words to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one set of 12 or enough for every guest at a reception. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Can I put a company logo on them?
The bean personalization is text only, up to six characters. Logo work is a custom order on other items: email 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 of the wording 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 six characters carefully before ordering. Ask in the order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
How long does an order take?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) production are available at checkout. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can, and allow extra time if you intend to plant any beforehand.
Do you ship wishing beans internationally?
International shipping is by request; the shopping cart only calculates US shipping and international orders cannot be rushed. Email [email protected] for a quote, and check your own country's rules on importing seeds.
Can personalized beans be returned?
Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective. Non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days.
