Sarah Marie Martin and Nicholas Brophy
November 1, 2003
Paradise Island, Bahamas

SAVE-THE-DATE
The wedding took place on
Paradise Island in the Bahamas.  
The bride knew that most
guests would make a vacation
out of the trip, and wanted to
plan accordingly by sending the
save-the date early.  The mailer
had a breezy laid back feel to
help guests get a feel for the
island.

INVITATION
The island theme was carried over
to the invitation.  Palm trees and a
hammock were used along with
soft ink colors to communicate the
theme. Since the wedding was on
November 1, the bride and groom
threw a Halloween costume party
the night before the wedding. A
card inviting guests to the event
was enclosed.

REHEARSAL DINNER
INVITATION
A small number of guests
received an invitation to the
rehearsal dinner and post-wedding
breakfast. A fine artist was hired
by Bride Paper to create the
hibiscus watercolor. The
watercolor was then printed on
velum and folded over the
invitation.  

WELCOME BAG
Bride Paper worked with Sarah
Marie and Nick to find items that
fit with their island wedding.  
The canvas bag was used to
hold beach items such as suntan
lotion, water bottles and a
Frisbee.

PROGRAM
Bride Paper suggested that the
program be a fan in order to continue
the island feel. Bride Paper then
added strands of ribbon and  sea
shells to give the fan a finished look.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Sarah Marie's mother lives in
Texas and wanted to send an
announcement to people in the
Houston area that were not invited
to the wedding. The design
mirrored the invitation.
