Acrylic Wedding Invitations, Clear Wedding Invitations

This blog post is for Brides that are curious about acrylic invitations. We’ll try to summarize our most asked questions below.

Acrylic invitations are one of our most popular types and we are loving them! As experts in this printing method, we can tell you that their uniqueness will leave your guests amazed at first sight. If you want to give your wedding invitation a Modern Twist while still breathing elegance, this is the option to go with.

Acrylic Wedding Invitations

At the moment we offer acrylic in the following printing methods. Price will not vary depending on the printing method you choose.

  • Metallic Gold Foil

  • Metallic Gold Foil & Watercolor

  • Black or White Ink

The thickness of our acrylic invitations is 2mm. This is the perfect thickness as it’s really difficult to bend - unless you put too much pressure on it.

When shipping them to your guests, you can use one of our classic envelopes. There is no need to be shipped in a box as they are quite sturdy and usually don’t get damaged in transit. However, some of our clients like to add a vellum jacket or an inner envelope for extra protection, or as an extra finishing touch.

When printing on Metallic Gold Foil & Watercolor, please be advised that there may be some slight differences in color between the proof you see on-screen vs the physically printed stationery. This is normal, due to the sheer volume of the different screen/monitor color profile setting combinations.
Also printing digitally on acrylic won’t be as crisp as you can on your screen here due to the nature of the acrylic when printing, if you are looking to print some of your digital items as neatly as possible, we would recommend printing on cardstock instead.

There is a minimum size of text we can use when printing. For line venue sketches, the thicker the line the better. The biggest size we can print on acrylic is A5 - 5.83 × 8.27 inches - 148 x 210 mm

Minimum order: 50 pieces

What is Metallic Foil Stamping?

A luxurious printing method using a combination of pressure, foil, and heat. We hot-press your design into the card, fusing the foil and creating a slight debossed metallic impression. Our foil printing yields a shiny finish rather than a matte one.

For each unique design intended for foil stamping, a specific printing plate or die is required. These plates are typically crafted from materials like magnesium or copper. Consequently, we cannot use Metallic Gold Foil for guest addresses or names; these must be either digitally printed or rendered in hand calligraphy.
