Silver Metal Starfish Dip Cup and Spreader*
The adorable silver metal starfish dip cup is the perfect tidbit holder for any special occasion. It was made with beach and seaside occasions in mind and it carries a general theme event just as easily, so it can complement a wedding on the sand or a dinner four hundred miles from the nearest coast. Treat guests to a tasty appetizer served in the cup itself, place the dip cups around the tables, and let people take them home as gifts at the end of the night. Each dip cup comes with a beautifully sculpted metal shell spreader, so the set arrives ready to use rather than waiting on serving pieces you still have to find.
The Silver Metal Starfish Dip Cup and Spreader is perfect for entertaining friends and family. Fill it with a dip and set the spreader beside it, or use it to serve a small dessert, candy and confections at the occasion. Guests reach for it because it is in front of them and because it is pretty, and that is exactly how a favor should work: used during the event, carried home afterwards. Take home mementos rarely earn their place this easily, and these are appropriate ones for a wedding.
The silver dip cups also perform well as ornamental decorations on tabletops. Left empty they still hold the room together, catching light down the length of a long table or marking each place setting with a small sculpted shape. It is a thoughtful ornament for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries and any special occasion where the table is doing some of the work.
If you are building a whole seaside table, the Natural Beach Starfish Shell Tidbit and the Personalized Polished Clam Seashell Favors are simple sea shell favors that sit alongside it, and the full Beach Wedding Favors catalog holds the rest of the theme.
Count one for every guest, or one for every table, and let the starfish do the decorating. Choose your quantity above and HansonEllis will ship your set insured, with tracking emailed.
The Starfish cup measures 6" by 4", the metal spreader 4-3/4" by 2".

Which one should I choose
A seaside table usually comes down to whether the favor is decorative, useful, or carries your names.
| Silver Metal Starfish Dip Cup and Spreader | Choose it when you want the favor to do a job at the table, holding a dip, a dessert or candy, with its own sculpted metal shell spreader. |
|---|---|
| Natural Beach Starfish Shell Tidbit | Choose it when you want the natural shell look rather than a silver metal finish at each place. |
| Personalized Polished Clam Seashell Favors | Choose it when your names or your date need to appear on the favor itself. |
| A disposable appetizer dish | Choose that when the table only needs to get through the meal and nothing is going home with anyone. |
For a beach or themed reception where the favor should be used and then kept, the Silver Metal Starfish Dip Cup and Spreader is the pick, because it serves the course and stays on a shelf afterwards.
