8 Glitter Print Products That Make a Party Catch the Light
Eight pieces, one sparkling surface, from the invitation in the mailbox to the tag on the favor a guest carries home. Every price below comes straight from the configurator, and every stock is named so you know what you are actually buying.
A glitter party set is eight printed pieces cut from the same sparkling surfaces: invitations, ultra thick invitations, postcards, stickers, hangtags, business cards used as table stationery, a table cover, and vinyl wall graphics. The paper items are printed full color on 17pt or 32pt Diamond Glitter cover, so the shimmer is in the sheet rather than sprayed on afterwards. Prices start at $25.00 for a vinyl graphic and $25.60 for 50 glitter postcards, and run to $225.00 for the table cover.
The picks
Eight glitter pieces, from $25.60 postcards to a $225.00 table cover
Start with the piece that touches your guest first, then work down the list. Each row names the product, what it does at the party, and the starting price for the smallest run. Tap a pick to jump to the full write-up, or build any of them from a design template and watch the price move as you change size and quantity.
| Pick | What it does at the party | From |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Diamond glitter invitations | The 17pt glitter card that starts the party in the mailbox. Fifty cards, three sizes, matching blank envelopes on the same order form. | $52.73 |
| 2. Ultra thick diamond glitter invitations | The same glitter face on 32pt cover. Order this one when the card is a keepsake and the weight in the hand is part of the message. | $78.31 |
| 3. Diamond glitter postcards | Save the dates and thank you cards at about 51 cents each. The cheapest glitter paper in the set, and the one people keep on the fridge. | $25.60 |
| 4. Diamond glitter stickers | Seals for favor bags, labels for bottles, a 2 in square on every box lid. Fifteen sizes up to 6 in by 11 in. | $31.84 |
| 5. Diamond glitter hangtags | Drilled and ready to tie onto favors and gift bags. Pick the hole size and its position before you pick the artwork. | $30.76 |
| 6. Diamond glitter business cards | Place cards, table numbers, drink tickets, and bar signs, all cut from the same 17pt glitter stock as the invitation. | $31.84 |
| 7. Glitter table covers | A 9oz polyester cover that turns a folding rental table into the dessert or gift table. The one piece that photographs from across the room. | $225.00 |
| 8. Glitter vinyl graphics | The name on the window, the monogram on the wall, the panel behind the photo corner. Up to 48 in by 96 in as a single piece. | $25.00 |
What you are buying
Five glitter surfaces, and what each one does
The word glitter covers five different things in this kit, and the differences change how you design and what you should expect in the room. Two are cardstocks with glitter through the sheet, one is a label stock, one is a printed effect in fabric, and one is a print on vinyl or film. Read the row before you match colors across pieces.
| Surface | Pieces printed on it | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| 17pt Diamond Glitter cover | Invitations, postcards, hangtags, business cards | The glitter is loaded into the sheet, not applied after printing, so there is no foil stamping charge and nothing to flake off in a purse. |
| 32pt Diamond Glitter cover | Ultra thick invitations | Roughly twice the caliper of the 17pt card and about 50 percent more per piece at the 50 count. Weight is the whole reason to order it. |
| Diamond glitter label stock | Stickers | Front prints 4/0 full color, back is blank peel and stick. Wipe the bottle or box dry first, because the adhesive will not grip dust or grease. |
| 9oz glitter-look polyester | Table covers | The shimmer is printed into the fabric and hemmed 1 in all around. It travels folded and comes back out without cracking. |
| Printed glitter on vinyl and film | Vinyl graphics | Ten materials, from adhesive vinyl for glass to backlit film for a lit panel. Match the material to the surface, not to the design. |
How the set works
Order in the sequence the guest meets it
A party set is a sequence, not a shopping list. The save the date lands months out, the invitation lands weeks out, the wall graphic and the table cover go up on the day, and the tag on the favor is the last thing a guest touches on the way out. Buy the pieces that own a stage you actually have, and skip the rest. Below, each of the eight is written up with the stock, the sizes, the price ladder, and the point where it stops being the right choice. Everything here also lives in the wider glitter effect printing collection alongside the birthday, engagement party, and wedding ranges if your theme needs more than sparkle.
1. Diamond glitter invitations: the piece that sets the tone
The invitation decides what kind of party a guest thinks they are being asked to. A diamond glitter invitation prints full color onto 17pt Diamond Glitter cover, so the shimmer is in the card itself and your artwork sits on top of it. Fifty start at $52.73, which works out near $1.05 a card, and the ladder runs down toward 65 cents by the time you reach 2,000.
Three sizes cover almost every event: the 4.25 in by 5.5 in default, the classic 5 in by 7 in that most weddings and quinceaneras use, and a 6 in by 6 in square that stands out in a stack of rectangles. Custom goes up to 6 in by 7 in. Print 4/0 and leave the back blank for a handwritten note, 4/1 to add a black monogram, or 4/4 when the details need their own side. Matching blank diamond glitter envelopes are an option on the same order form, so the sparkle starts before the flap is open.
One thing to plan around: fine hairline lettering fights a sparkling surface. Bolder type and larger point sizes hold their edges on glitter, and the free online proof is where you check it rather than after the run. If you are still choosing a format, our comparison of folded and flat invitations covers what each one does for the mailing, and the full invitations printing range shows every stock beside this one.
2. Ultra thick diamond glitter invitations: when weight is the message
Same glitter face, much more card. Ultra thick diamond glitter invitations are printed on 32pt Diamond Glitter Cover, and the difference registers in the hand before anyone reads a word. Fifty start at $78.31, about $1.57 a card, sliding toward $1.02 as the run climbs to 2,000.
That is roughly 50 cents a card more than the 17pt version at the smallest quantity, which is real money across 200 guests and nothing at all across 40. Order the thick one when the invitation is a keepsake people will prop on a shelf, and the standard one when the card has a job to do and then goes in a drawer. The sizes and ink options are identical, so you can switch between them without redrawing the layout.
Weddings are where this usually gets decided, and the budget math is laid out in our guide to what wedding invitations cost. If you are building a color scheme around the sparkle first, the mockups in our wedding color palette piece show how a metallic reads next to real stock.

3. Diamond glitter postcards: save the dates and thank you cards
The cheapest way into glitter paper is the postcard. Diamond glitter postcards start at $25.60 for 50, roughly 51 cents a card, and a 300 card run is $93.37. At 3,000 the total is $701.86, near 23 cents each.
Two jobs at a party: the save the date that goes out months early, and the thank you card that goes out after. Both get stuck on a fridge or a pinboard, which is exactly where a card that throws light back earns its price. What a glitter postcard is bad at is dense information. A block of directions, a registry list, or terms in small type belongs on a plain coated card where the copy is doing the work, not on a surface competing with it.
Mailing them is its own small discipline, and the address side has rules about clear space that a glitter background can quietly break. If your set is running toward a launch or a public event rather than a private one, the event space print set covers the pieces that a venue needs alongside these.
4. Diamond glitter stickers: seals, bottle labels, favor bags
Diamond glitter stickers are the piece that spreads the look across everything else you already bought. Fifty start at $31.84, about 64 cents each, and fifteen sizes run from a 2 in by 2 in square up to 6 in by 11 in. The front prints 4/0 full color over the glitter label stock, the back is blank peel and stick.
This is where the ink rule bites hardest. The glitter shows through and around your artwork, so a light monogram on an open field sparkles and a solid dark square with reversed type barely does. If the shimmer is the point, keep at least half the sticker clear of heavy coverage. The bigger sizes stop behaving like a seal and start behaving like a panel across a box lid, which is a different design job.
Surface matters too. Clean and dry the bottle or the box first, because adhesive does not hold on dust or grease. For a party, the reliable placements are glass bottles, smooth boxes, and card favor boxes. The full stickers printing range has the die cut and holographic options if you want a shape rather than a square, and there are twenty more ideas in our piece on printable party decorations.
5. Diamond glitter hangtags: the favor tag, drilled and ready
Every tag ships with the hole already drilled, which is the part people forget when they price a DIY alternative. Diamond glitter hangtags start at $30.76 for 50, about 62 cents each, and the ladder is unusually steep: 100 cost $39.54, 200 cost $53.83, and 500 cost $98.86, which is 19.8 cents a tag. Ordering 200 instead of 100 costs $14.29 more and gives you double the tags.
Two settings decide whether the tag works. Choose a 1/8 in or 3/16 in hole, and pick the 3/16 in if you are tying with ribbon rather than string, because thick satin will not thread a small hole. Then pick the hole position from five options, including top center, top left, and top right, and pick it after you know the shape. A hole in the top left reads as deliberate on a tall 2 in by 4 in tag and lopsided on a 2 in square.
Seven sizes run from 2 in by 2 in up to 4 in by 6 in, with custom to the same maximum. Our hang tag size guide matches each size to what it is normally tied to, and the wider hang tags printing range carries the kraft and foil versions if glitter is wrong for the theme.
6. Diamond glitter business cards: place cards, table numbers, drink tickets
The business card is the most useful thing in this kit for a party, and almost nobody orders it that way. Cut from the same 17pt Diamond Glitter cover as the invitation, a diamond glitter business card becomes a place card, a table number, a drink ticket, or a bar sign. Fifty start at $31.84 and the per card price falls toward 9 cents as the run climbs to 10,000.
Three sizes make the swap easy. Standard 2 in by 3.5 in works as a place card lying flat on a napkin, the 2 in by 2 in square works as a favor tag without a hole, and the slim 1.5 in by 3.5 in works as a drink ticket that fits a pocket. Custom goes to 2 in by 4 in. Rounded corners come in a 1/8 in or 3/8 in radius, and the 3/8 in reads as a design decision rather than a softened edge.
Because the stock is identical to the invitation, the table stationery and the mailer look like one suite without any color matching. If you are weighing sparkle against a smoother shine for the same job, our comparison of glitter and metallic business cards explains where each finish stops working, and foil stamping against raised foil covers the two premium routes that cost more than either.
7. Glitter table covers: the dessert table, dressed in one piece
One glitter table cover does more visual work than everything else in this kit combined, and it costs more than all the paper together at $225.00. It is 9oz premium polyester, hemmed 1 in the whole way around, printed in full color across the top and all four sides. The glitter look is printed into the fabric, so it will not flake the way a stuck-on finish does, and it folds away between events.
Order by table length, not by eye. The 84 in by 126.5 in cover fits a standard 6 foot table and the 84 in by 150.5 in cover fits an 8 foot table, and the two are not interchangeable. Ask the venue which length they supply before you order, because a 6 foot cover on an 8 foot table looks like a mistake from every seat in the room.
Be honest about the match. This surface sparkles because of a printed glitter effect in fabric, while the cards sparkle because of real glitter in the sheet. Side by side under one light they read as a family, not as twins, so hold the set together with color and type. The wider table covers printing range includes runners and standard tablecloths if you want the sparkle only on a runner down the center.
8. Glitter vinyl graphics: the name on the wall and the photo corner
The last piece is the backdrop. Glitter vinyl graphics start at $25.00 and print on ten materials, so the same artwork can go on a storefront window, an interior wall, a backlit panel, or an outdoor sign. Fourteen sizes run from 11 in by 17 in up to a custom 48 in by 96 in, which covers a 4 by 8 foot span of wall behind a photo corner in a single piece instead of tiled panels.
Pick the material by where it goes. Adhesive backed vinyl is the one for glass and smooth walls, backlit film is the one made to be lit from behind, and weatherproof polypropylene is the one for anything that sits outside. Lamination is worth adding on a panel people brush past all evening and a waste on one mounted above head height.
These are also the fastest thing in the kit, on a 2 business day standard with next day and same day available, which makes them the piece you can add late. If your event is a club night rather than a private party, the nightclub promo essentials cover the flyers and passes that go with a wall like this, and our list of photo booth props is what goes in front of it.

Wally explains where the sparkle goes
Ink sits on top of the glitter, so leave it room
Wally walks the party the way a guest does: the invitation arrives, the save the date sits on the fridge, the wall graphic and table cover set the room, and a drilled tag rides home on the favor. Every paper piece is printed full color on Diamond Glitter cover, which means your artwork covers the shimmer wherever it lays down heavy ink. Keep the design open, keep the type bold, and one order of glitter stock carries the whole event.

Three things that go wrong with glitter jobs
First, the artwork gets designed on a white screen and printed on a sparkling sheet, and the fine type disappears. Take the free online proof, or the next day hardcopy proof when the color has to be exact. Second, the pieces get ordered on different days and arrive across a week, which matters because glitter paper runs 5 business days while glitter vinyl graphics run 2. Third, the table cover gets ordered by guess, and an 84 in by 126.5 in cover meant for a 6 foot table lands on the venue's 8 foot one. Confirm the table length, then order. If a date has already slipped, same day printing covers the paper pieces up to the daily cutoff, and any unfamiliar stock or finish word on the order form is defined in our printing terms.

Common Questions
Common questions about glitter party printing
What is in a glitter party set?
Eight pieces that carry one sparkling look from the mailbox to the favor table: diamond glitter invitations, ultra thick diamond glitter invitations, glitter postcards for save the dates and thank you cards, glitter stickers, drilled glitter hangtags, glitter business cards used as place cards and table numbers, a glitter table cover, and glitter vinyl graphics for the wall. Most parties order three or four of the eight rather than the whole list.
How much does the whole glitter set cost?
At the smallest quantity of each piece the paper items are the cheap half: postcards from $25.60 per 50, hangtags from $30.76, stickers from $31.84, business cards from $31.84, invitations from $52.73, and ultra thick invitations from $78.31. The two large format pieces carry the budget, with glitter vinyl graphics from $25.00 and a glitter table cover at $225.00. Every price updates live in the configurator as you change size, quantity, and finish.
Is diamond glitter real glitter or a printed effect?
On the paper pieces it is real glitter held in the sheet. Diamond Glitter cover comes as 17pt for most items and 32pt for the ultra thick invitations, with the glitter through the surface, so there is no foil stamping charge and nothing loose to shed. The table cover is different: its shimmer is a glitter look printed into 9oz polyester, which is why it travels folded without cracking.
Will printed text still read on a glitter card?
Yes, because full color artwork prints directly on top of the glitter rather than under it. Bolder type at a larger point size holds its edges well, while fine hairline lettering fights the sparkle underneath it. Take the free online proof before you approve the run and read the wording on screen at full size first.
Why does my design look less glittery than the sample?
Ink sits on the glitter and hides it. A layout with heavy solid coverage across the whole face covers most of the shimmer, while a design with open areas lets the sparkle read around the artwork. If the glitter is the reason you chose the stock, leave roughly half the surface clear of dense color.
How far ahead should I order for a party date?
Work backwards from the slowest piece. Glitter paper products print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, the table cover on 4 business days, and vinyl graphics on 2. Add mailing and hand addressing time on top for the invitations, which usually takes longer than people expect, then set your order date from that. Rush tiers down to same day exist for every piece if the date has already moved.
Can I get envelopes that match the glitter invitations?
Yes, matching blank diamond glitter envelopes are an option on the invitation order form, on both the 17pt and the 32pt versions. They arrive blank so a calligrapher or your own hand can address them. Order them with the cards rather than afterwards so the two ship together.
How many invitations should I order for 120 guests?
Count households, not heads, because couples and families share one card. A 120 person guest list is usually somewhere near 70 to 80 invitations, and you then order the next tier up to cover late additions and addressing mistakes. The per card price falls at every tier, so the step from 100 to 200 costs far less than reordering 30 cards a month later.
