Ultra Thick Metallic Pearl Invitations

What is an ultra thick metallic pearl invitation?

An ultra thick metallic pearl invitation is a heavyweight event card printed on 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice stock, a pearlescent paper that catches light with a soft shimmer. At 4OVER4 it prints full color in 3 sizes from 4.25" x 5.5" to a 6" x 6" square, with the size, ink coverage, corners, and matching envelope all set in the live configurator.

Think of it as the invitation people hold up to the light. The 26pt stock is genuinely thick, and the Metallic Pearl Ice surface gives every color a low, pearly glow. That combination reads as luxury the moment it lands in a hand, which is why couples, hosts, and event planners reach for it when the paper itself needs to set the tone. You print full color on the front alone, front plus a black back, or both sides, choose your size, and the price updates live as you go. If you want the same shimmer in a flat single-panel format across a wider set of finishes, the Metallic Invitations cover that, and this ultra thick version sits beside it as the chunkiest, most tactile pick.

What sizes do ultra thick metallic pearl invitations come in?

4OVER4 ultra thick metallic pearl invitations come in 3 set sizes: 4.25" x 5.5", 5" x 7", and a 6" x 6" square. The 4.25" x 5.5" card is the default, and you can order a custom size up to 6" x 7". The 5" x 7" is the classic invitation shape, while the 6" x 6" square makes a bolder statement.

Size sets the mood. The 4.25" x 5.5" card is the default, compact enough to slip into a standard envelope and easy to mail. Step up to the classic 5" x 7" when you want room for a full layout, a monogram, or a photo. The 6" x 6" square is the show-off, reading almost like a small art print on a table. Need something in between or a touch larger? You can set a custom size up to 6" x 7" in the configurator. All 3 sizes and the full option list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For an even more textured specialty stock, the Ultra Thick Diamond Glitter Invitations carry the same weight with a sparkle finish.

Here are a few easy ways to make a metallic pearl invitation pull its weight.

Let the shimmer carry the design

Because the shimmer comes from the paper, you do not need a busy layout to make it feel rich. A simple monogram, a couple of names, and plenty of open space let the Metallic Pearl Ice surface glow on its own. Print full color both sides so the back of the card carries the shimmer too, and the whole piece reads premium from any angle.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make an invitation look sharp. Start from one of hundreds of free, professionally built layouts in our invitation design templates, then change the colors, copy, and names in the online editor in minutes. The templates are built for event cards, so the spacing and type are already dialed in.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank invitation template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How much do ultra thick metallic pearl invitations cost?

Ultra thick metallic pearl invitations start at $67 per set of 50, which is $1.34 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 2,000, so a cheaper card really comes down to how big a run you order.

What makes the 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice stock special?

The 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice stock is the single signature paper for these invitations. It is a thick, 26 point pearlescent sheet with a soft metallic shimmer built into the paper itself, not a coating. At 4OVER4 it prints full color at 4/0 for the front only, 4/1 for the front plus a black back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.

This is the whole point of the product: one stock, chosen because it does something ordinary invitation paper cannot. At 26 point it is chunky and rigid in the hand, and the Metallic Pearl Ice surface has a pearly shimmer that moves across your colors as the card tilts. You control how the ink lands: 4/0 prints full color on the front and leaves the back blank, 4/1 adds black text or a note on the back, and 4/4 runs full color on both sides. If you love the shimmer but want a different specialty texture, compare it with the Diamond Glitter Invitations before you decide.

What finishing and envelope options can you add?

4OVER4 ultra thick metallic pearl invitations offer rounded corners in a 3/8" or 1/8" radius, or squared corners, plus a matching Pearl Ice envelope option. Proofing choices are straight to production, a free online proof, or a next day hardcopy proof, so you can confirm the print before the full run.

A few touches finish the piece. Round the corners at a 3/8" or a softer 1/8" radius for a gentler, more modern edge, or leave them squared for a classic look. Add a matching Pearl Ice envelope so the whole suite arrives with the same shimmer, or skip it if you already have envelopes. Before the run, choose how you want to check the work: send it straight to production if your file is ready, request a free online proof to eyeball the layout, or order a next day hardcopy proof to hold the real stock and color in your hand first.
