Metallic Invitations

These cards are built to feel like an occasion. The single premium stock keeps the weight consistent, the foil accent frames a monogram or a name, and full color fills the rest. Want to see how metallic invitations sit next to the other premium styles? Browse the full range on invitations printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $317.44, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full mailing for a wedding or a corporate event costs far less per card than a small first batch.

What Are Metallic Invitations?

Metallic invitations are printed invitation cards that carry a metallic foil accent on the front, printed full color on a premium 16pt Gloss Cover stock, in 3 sizes from 4.25" x 5.5" up to a 6" x 6" square. People reach for them when a plain card would undersell the moment: weddings, engagement parties, galas, quinceaneras, anniversaries, and VIP business nights. Because the foil catches the light, the card reads as a keepsake rather than a formality. For an even more tactile finish, the Suede Invitations trade shine for a soft velvet feel, and the metallic sits right beside them as the version that gleams.

What Size Should a Metallic Invitation Be?

The right size comes down to the occasion. The default 4.25" x 5.5" card is compact and easy to mail, a natural fit for showers, parties, and save-the-dates. The 5" x 7" is the classic invitation format, the one most people picture for a wedding or a formal event, with room for a full layout around the foil accent. The 6" x 6" square is the statement piece, big and modern, ideal when the invitation is part of the decor. All 3 sizes, both ink options, the coatings, and the corner styles are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. Need a shape outside those three? Order a custom size up to 6" x 7" and the price follows the dimensions you set.

What Paper, Ink and Finish Options Are There?

The stock is a single, deliberate choice: 16pt Gloss Cover, heavy enough to feel substantial in the hand and smooth enough to carry the foil cleanly. That metallic foil accent prints on the front of every card. For ink, keep it to a full-color front with a blank back, or run full color on both sides when you have a map, a schedule, or a monogram for the reverse.

Then choose a finish. Leave it uncoated for a natural surface, add a High Gloss UV across the whole card for extra shine, or place a Spot UV on the front so only chosen areas gleam next to the foil. Square corners are standard, and you can round them to a 1/8" or 1/4" radius for a softer edge. Add matching White Wove envelopes and the set arrives ready to address. If you want the shimmer worked into the stock itself rather than as a front accent, the Ultra Thick Metallic Pearl Invitations carry a pearlescent finish through a much thicker card.

How Much Do Metallic Invitations Cost?

Metallic invitations start at $317.44 per set of 500, about 63 cents a card with the foil accent included, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000. A run of 2,500 is $646.94, 5,000 is $910.55, and 25,000 lands at $3,436.82, roughly 14 cents a card. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

What Do People Use Metallic Invitations For?

A metallic invitation signals that the event matters. Couples send them for weddings and engagement parties, where the foil accent frames a monogram or a date. Hosts choose them for galas, fundraisers, and anniversary dinners, where a shiny, weighty card reads as an occasion rather than an errand. They work for milestone birthdays, quinceaneras, and holiday parties too, and businesses use them for launches, openings, and VIP nights. Print the reverse in full color and each card can hold the schedule, the dress code, or a QR link to RSVP. If the celebration is specifically a wedding and you want the foil to carry the whole design, the Foil Wedding Invitations are built around exactly that.

How Do Metallic Invitations Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Metallic invitations are the high-shine pick in a lineup of premium cards, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a soft velvet feel, a pearlescent stock, or a fully foiled wedding suite, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up metallic invitations against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
