Harmony Seashell Turtle Favor (Turtle Only)
Slow down and enjoy the moment with our harmony seashell turtles. This adorable turtle favor is made of all-natural shells and comes complete with a miniature straw hat. Because every shell comes out of the ocean with its own shape, color and markings, each turtle is different and unique since it is hand crafted from real sea shells, so no two seats at your table hold quite the same little creature.
Add your own personalized tag on there and create a special message to capture the moment. Here is how couples have worded theirs:
Personalized Tag Message:
"Slow and Steady
Living Life
in Harmony"
Jamie and James
or
"Pacing Ourselves
On Our New
Adventures"
Lucie & Michael
This handmade seashell turtle is the perfect addition to any beach themed or destination wedding. Set this cute little piece out next to our Beach Seashell Place Card Holders or a Message in a Bottle Invitation and the table tells a story before anyone sits down. At 2 inches long the Harmony Seashell Turtle Favor rests easily on a folded napkin, on top of a menu card, on a bed of sand in a glass bowl, or tucked beside a shell at each setting, and guests pick it up before they pick up the menu.
These turtles look fantastic amidst any outdoor theme. Place them on all of the tables at your garden party or use them to spruce up a boring centerpiece. Set them in pairs of two at the tables at a milestone anniversary and let the guests celebrate the theme of togetherness. They will always remember that special day as they treasure these little gems for years to come.
There is something honest about a favor made from a real shell. It is light in the hand, warm in color, and small enough to travel home in a pocket or a purse, which is exactly where a favor has to survive if it is going to be kept at all. Months later it is still sitting on a windowsill or a bookshelf, still wearing its tiny straw hat.
Choose your quantity above and give every guest a moment of harmony to take home.

Which one should I choose
On a coastal table the Harmony Seashell Turtle Favor is usually weighed against the other beach pieces it sits beside, or against a printed paper favor.
| Harmony Seashell Turtle Favor (Turtle Only) | Choose it when you want a real-shell keepsake with a miniature straw hat that guests take home and keep, and you will add your own tag message. |
|---|---|
| Beach Seashell Place Card Holders | Choose these when the piece has to do a job at the table, holding each guest's name card, rather than being a take-home keepsake. |
| A printed paper favor or favor box | Choose it when the message has to be printed on the favor itself; it will not have the weight or the natural shell finish of the turtle. |
For a beach or destination wedding, set the turtles at each seat and let the place card holders carry the names; the two were designed for the same table.
Ordering the Harmony Seashell Turtle Favor (Turtle Only) for weddings and events
Ordering the Harmony Seashell Turtle Favor for a wedding, a garden party or a company beach event is simple. There is no minimum, so order one turtle per guest, a pair per table, or a handful for a centerpiece, and allow a few spares. Since each turtle is hand crafted from real shells, they arrive with natural variation rather than as identical pieces. The turtle carries no personalization, so if you want a message at each seat, plan for your own tag; a tag is not included. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and for a wedding it is best to order 3–6 months ahead so the favors are sitting in a box long before the week of the event.
