Personalize each sand dollar with a name, date or short message to create a memorable favor your guests will treasure.
These exquisite shells make perfect place setting accents at weddings, bridal showers and coastal celebrations. Simply place one at each guest's seat for a beautiful and thoughtful token they can take home as a lasting reminder of your special day. You can also scatter them gracefully across reception tables, around your cake display, or use them in your centerpieces to add a natural, beachy elegance to your decor.
Sand dollar ornaments also make heartfelt thank-you gifts for wedding guests, bridesmaids or dear friends, anyone you wish to bless with a small but meaningful gesture. Whether shared as a keepsake or displayed as part of your event design, they bring warmth, authenticity and a coastal spirit to any celebration. One customer bought them for each of her siblings to commemorate a family vacation and said they loved them. Another called them a quality made item of good size and came back for a larger order. A third was very pleased with the quality, the timely delivery and the customer service, and would order from HansonEllis again.
Please note: as these are made from real sand dollars, each piece will vary slightly in appearance. Differences in tone, size and natural texture are part of what makes every ornament truly special and unique.

Which one should I choose
Beach wedding shoppers usually choose between a real shell favor and a manufactured one.
| Personalized Beach Sand Dollar Ornament with Hanging Raffia Ribbon | Choose it when you want a real, natural sand dollar at every seat, personalized with names and a date and ready to hang afterwards. |
|---|---|
| A printed paper favor box or tag | Choose it when the favor is a wrapper for something else; it will not survive the trip home the way a shell keepsake does. |
| A molded resin or plastic shell favor | Choose it if you need every piece identical; it trades the natural variation and texture that make the real sand dollar memorable. |
For a coastal celebration, the real sand dollar is the favor guests photograph, take home and hang up the following December.
