Personalized Turban Shimmering Seashells
Let the sound of the sea and a long lived reminder of your special event go home with your guests by giving them our wonderful Personalized Turban Seashells. With shells that shimmer and shine just so, and with their lovely natural spiral, these shells are perfect for letting your guests remember your day at the beach, be it for a party or your big day. Polished to perfection, these gold mouthed shells are ready to make a debut at your event today.
Most beach favors are made to look like the ocean. This one came out of it. Each Turban Seashell is a real shell, 1.5"-1.75"W, polished on the outside so the spiral catches candlelight down a long table, and small enough to sit on a napkin, a charger plate or the lip of a glass.
That size is exactly why couples use them twice. Set at each place with a guest's name cut into the shell, they work as escort cards or place cards that nobody throws away at the end of the night; scattered along a table runner, down an aisle or across a dessert table, they finish the room. Guests pocket them, put them on a windowsill, and think of your day every time they walk past.
Custom engraving is included, so the wording is the whole point rather than an extra. Up to 12 characters on each of two lines are engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999: two first names and the wedding date, a single guest's name for seating, a short thank-you, a shower or reception date, or even a pirate-themed line for a beach party. The lettering sits into the polished surface, so it will not rub off in a pocket or a drawer.
Polished to perfection these shells are perfect for weddings, showers, receptions, or even pirate or beach themed parties. 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, which is part of why they look like something found rather than something ordered.
Add your engraving text above, choose one shell per guest, and send the sea home with everyone who came.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers planning a beach theme usually weigh the engraved turban shell against a printed paper favor and against the larger beach keepsakes in the same theme.
| Personalized Turban Shimmering Seashells | Choose them when every guest should take home something real from the sea, engraved with your names or theirs, at one per seat. |
|---|---|
| Potpourri & Seashell Beach Sachet Favors | Choose these when you want scent and a pouch on the table rather than a single polished shell a guest can pocket. |
| A printed paper place card | Choose it only to seat people; it names the guest but is in the bin before the band packs up. |
For a favor that also does the seating, the engraved turban seashells do both jobs at once and leave the table uncluttered.
