When Mr. Howell drops the invitation at the beginning, the tree is clearly in the open and in sight of the huts and clearing outside/communal area. When Gilligan trips and finds the invitation later, the same tree and brush beneath it are in a much more enclosed area, seemingly along a path through the jungle to the supply hut. Even though the supply hut is actually just a few feet away from where the letter was dropped.

It’s possible that there’s some clearing to the left of where Gilligan finds the invitation, off camera, but regardless the rest of the background is completely different from the opening scene showing Mr. Howell dropping it.
