We’re just wrapping up another “starfish season” here at Paper Presence, and we thought it was the perfect time to revisit one of our favorite custom starfish wedding invitation sets from the past!
Lisa and Mark’s destination wedding ~ from Minnesota to St. Pete Beach ~ included all the fixin’s of a seaside soiree: sandy shores, bare feet, palms, salty air, salty water, and starfish! We were excited to pitch in, and provide a few starfish of our own!
Lisa and Mark’s invitation set included a 5 x 7 Layered Invitation with a Natural Starfish and Raffia Embellishment, along with a coordinating Reply Card, Travel and Accommodations Card, and Welcome Party Insert. We also created custom program fans to help keep their guests cool under the warm Florida sun.
Venue: The Grand Plaza Hotel, St. Pete Beach

We received such a great compliment today from our “Tropical Oasis” Bride Hillary, that we just couldn’t resist sharing it, along with a few pics of the final invitation! It’s just gorgeous, and we can’t WAIT to hear what her guests have to say once they receive one in the mail.
Andrea, you have absolutely blown us away. We just received our package of invitations today, and can not stop looking at them. I thought working via email and phone from so far away would be a nightmare, but you have been amazing, and I am just overjoyed at how incredibly breathtaking our invitations are. I am ecstatic at the thought of sending them to my guests, and may send them out even earlier just to hear what they have to say! Thank you for taking our random ideas and designing the perfect invitation for our wedding day. I hope in my travels to Florida I will one day get the opportunity to thank you in person, but for now THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We opened the mail today and were so pleased to find a thoughtful “Thank You” from one of our Brides. It was just what we needed to jump start an amazing(ly busy) week!
Andrea - Thank you so much for the beautiful invitations. They were exactly what we wanted! Everyone loves them! Thanks so much, Alicia & Pat
Well, we love them, too, and are happy to share a Sneak Peek below.
Alicia and Pat’s Custom Wedding Invitation set featured
- a 5 x 5 metallic ruby side pocket folder
- an RSVP Postcard with custom wedding logo
- Reception and Directions/Accommodations Card, which included a custom, hand-drawn map of the area featuring some of the couple’s favorite places! The custom map was created by the Groom, and we are super ecstatic at the thought of having him create more for us in the future…we love to opportunity to feature local artists!
- a natural starfish and raffia wrap

Thank you again for the thoughtful card, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
