Try to have your wording
finalized BEFORE you submit your actual order. By
being prepared, you will save both your
time and Melissa's, as less proof
revisions
will be required. Ultimately, this allows your
order to be submitted to the printer sooner
rather than
later.

Design Description:
Earthtone colors
and a dried sugar starfish will WOW your guests
when presented with this well coordinated beach
themed invitation.
Showcased above is a two layered invitation,
hand assembled by Melissa. You may choose to have:
[VIEW 1] the brown sugar starfish
bound with a walnut-colored waxed
cord + transparent vellum
wrap
(which
contains
mini
pieces
of earth-toned
confetti), OR
[VIEW 2] the brown sugar starfish loose in the
mesh net pouch.
The presentation in [VIEW 1] is the way majority of clients order the invite.
The invitation is assembled with the enclosures
tucked beneath. All are placed inside a Brown
Kraft box, on an walnut-colored layer of tissue
paper. The tissue paper
is then folded over (much the
way you would gift box wrap a clothing article)
- see [VIEW 3]. The lid is added and the box secured
closed with waxed cord and a tag. Inside the tag,
you
write
the name(s) of your guest(s) - see [VIEW 4].
The tag acts as an inner envelope, where you write
the
name
of
the people invited. This is especially helpful
when inviting (or not inviting) the children
of guests. The Brown Kraft box is then placed
inside a padded envelope for mailing.
Alternative Presentation:
For mailing in an
envelope, you may order this design without the wrap,
cord and dried brown starfish. To view this option, click

Text & Design Colors:
Shown are Beach Brown
+ Walnut, but colors can be customized to match your

Postage Required:
Approximately $1.35
USD each for First Class Mail to a guest.
(does vary by the number of enclosures, where mailed from and to, etc.)
Due to the 3D
nature of this design, it is mailed
in a white 2 piece box (lid and bottom).
The box is then placed inside a padded
envelope for mailing. The 3D starfish
is too fragile to mail in an envelope,
and so the white box is used - both
for presentation and to prevent damage
to the starfish.

starfish color, different design layout etc.
