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 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!

Congratulations to Samara and Bobby!
We were so excited at the opportunity to work with Samara on her wedding invitation suite. With her attention to detail and impressive sense of style, Samara made it easy for us to get creative and inspired!
Working with Samara, we were able to design a complete wedding stationery suite including:
- 7 x 7 wedding invitations with coordinating reply cards and travel & accommodations inserts
- 4 x 9 wedding program booklets tied with coordinating raffia and a custom monogrammed tag
- custom thank you cards
- personalized wedding newsletter included with every guest’s embroidered welcome bag
- custom rehearsal dinner invitations (which have proved to be one of our most popular and frequently requested invitation sets!)
- custom bridesmaid luncheon invitations
- menu cards and cupcake signs
- favor tags, welcome bag tags, candy buffet tags, stickers and labels…
- we even built a custom “love is sweet” wooden sign for her candy buffet table!
It truly was a custom “suite” and we had such a great time designing each and every piece! We look forward to working with Samara again in the future…
