A simple but elegant and unique favor straight from the natural world, our Personalized Sun and Moon Beach Seashells offer a memorable take home gift for your guests at your special event or even as a fun decoration around your home. Whether for a party, as a gift, or as favors for a beach themed wedding, these shells really stand out from the crowd.
With shells around two to three inches across, these gorgeous natural artifacts have a beautiful sheen that catches candlelight the way printed card never will. With no two being exactly the same, they make for perfect and utterly unique gifts for guests, loved ones, or even for yourself. Your wording is added in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999: up to four lines of ten characters, enough for two first names, a date and the beach you are standing on. Add your personalization and this one of a kind favor becomes a gift for anyone, from the couple marrying at sunset to the friend who keeps a bowl of shells by the door.
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 is the character people buy them for: set a dozen along a table and the light hits each one differently.
Buyers find uses beyond the place setting. One bride ordered them for a beach wedding and scattered them in her flower girl's basket in place of petals, and said the shells looked great doing it. A shopper on the other side of the world called them a wonderful product with absolutely fantastic service, and said he would order again, so the shells travel well beyond the coast they came from.

Personalized Sun and Moon Beach Seashells at a glance
Personalized Sun and Moon Beach Seashells are 100% natural shells of roughly 2.5" to 3" across, personalized in-house by HansonEllis with up to four lines of ten characters. They are sold with a minimum order of 12, so they suit beach weddings, showers and parties rather than single gifts. Because every shell is natural, no two are the same in size, shape, color or markings.
Best for: couples and hosts planning a beach or coastal event of 12 guests or more who want a natural favor with names and a date on it rather than another printed card.

Care and use
- These are 100% natural seashells, so no two are ever the same in size, shape or color, and a shell may carry natural markings.
- Expect roughly 2.5" to 3" across; treat the measurement as a guide rather than a cut specification.
- The natural sheen is part of the shell itself, which is why buyers set them where candlelight or daylight can reach them.
- One bride used them loose in a flower girl's basket at a beach wedding in place of petals, so they hold up to handling on the day.
How the Personalized Sun and Moon Beach Seashells is personalized
- Type your wording in the personalization field on this page, keeping each line to 10 characters and using no more than 4 lines.

- HansonEllis personalizes the shells in-house and ships them insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you.
Ideas for what to put on the shell
- Both first names on the first two lines and the wedding date underneath, so the shell reads like a tiny invitation.
- The beach or island name on the last line, so guests remember exactly where they were standing.
- Each guest's name on their own shell, doubling the favor as a place card at the reception table.
- A short thank-you line for the shells you scatter down the center of the table rather than set at each seat.
- A family name and a year for the shells that go into a bowl at home rather than out to a wedding.

Which one should I choose
For a beach table the decision is usually between a natural shell that carries your wording and something printed that does not last past the weekend.
| Personalized Sun and Moon Beach Seashells | Choose them when the favor should be real, natural and carry up to four lines of your own wording, minimum 12 pieces. |
|---|---|
| Plain shells scattered on the table | Choose those when you only want texture down the center of the table and nothing has to name the couple or the date. |
| A printed paper place card | Choose that when the card only has to be read once; it will not go home in a pocket the way a shell does. |
| Fresh flower petals in the flower girl's basket | Choose petals for one walk down the aisle; one bride used these shells instead and kept something guests could pick up afterwards. |
If the event is on or about the water and you want guests to take something real home, the personalized shells earn their place; keep plain shells for filler and use these for names.

How big are the Personalized Sun and Moon Beach Seashells?
Each shell is approximately 2.5" to 3" wide. Because they are 100% natural, the exact size varies from shell to shell.

Up to four lines of ten characters each, forty characters in total. That is room for two first names, a date and a place.
Will every shell look the same?

Can each shell carry a different name?
Yes. Order the full quantity you need and email your list of names to [email protected] after ordering, and each shell can be done individually.
Can I put a company logo on the shells?
A logo is a custom order. 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 reproduced on a natural surface.
Can I see a proof before the shells are personalized?
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 spelling before you order, or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.

What else can I use them for besides favors?
Buyers use them as a decoration around the home and one bride used them in place of flower petals in her flower girl's basket at a beach wedding.
