Marian McEvoy: 'Tropicalia'- Custom Place Cards

The magic of Marian McEvoy's (aka Gust the Poodle) decorative artwork is how it rouses all the senses. Hear the strumming of samba guitars like waves lapping upon the shores when you look at this foursome of sultry flora drawings we've named Tropicália. Feel the saxophone riffs that brush your sun-kissed cheeks like a beachy breeze. Marian's drawing of tropical foliage and flowers awakens the celebration of summer good times. 

Customize your place cards with your guest's names. With numerous fonts to choose from, you can have your cards arrive perfectly calligraphed with your guest's names printed on the backs. That's one less thing for you to do, and it's complimentary for the first pack. We even include a blank card called "Try your hand" to test your writing instrument if you choose to write your names yourself, or send them out to your calligrapher.

Conversation Sparker: Tropicália— was a 1960s Brazilian artistic movement encompassing music, art and writing celebrating Brazil's culture and people. Musically, it synthesized many forms of Brazilian music like Bossa Nova and Samba with psychedelic rock.
