Send an Invitation That Feels Like the First Gift
Guests hold a velvet invitation a beat longer. It is not plain card stock, it is a firm 16pt sheet wrapped in a soft-touch velvet lamination, a suede-like matte film that makes the surface warm and grippy the second it lands in a hand. Whether you are announcing a wedding, opening a gala, or marking a milestone birthday, the texture does half the work before anyone reads a word. Sets of 500 start at $251.36, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 74 reviews.
These cards punch above a printed announcement. The soft matte finish mutes color for a premium look, flatters deep ink and gold, and gives the card real weight.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $251.36, about 50 cents a card, and the per-piece cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 10,000, where a soft-touch velvet card lands near 19 cents.

What Are Velvet Invitations?
Velvet invitations are cards printed full color on 16pt Soft Velvet Laminated stock, finished with a soft-touch, suede-like film in 8 flat and folded sizes. People reach for them when a standard invite would feel too light: weddings, engagement parties, bridal and baby showers, galas, and luxury brand events. Because the surface feels the way it does, the card gets kept and handled instead of tossed. If you want the same velvet touch cut for the aisle, the Velvet Wedding Invitations cover that, and this general invitation sits right beside it for any occasion.
What Size Should a Velvet Invitation Be?
The right size comes down to how much you need to say and whether you want a fold. Three sizes are flat cards: a 4.25" x 5.5" (the classic A2), a 5" x 7" event standard, and a 6" x 6" modern square. The other five print flat and score down the middle for a folded piece with room inside: 10" x 7" folds to 5" x 7", 8.5" x 5.5" folds to 4.25" x 5.5", 11" x 4.25" folds to 5.5" x 4.25", 12" x 6" folds to 6" x 6", and 9" x 6" folds to 4.5" x 6". The crease is scored so the velvet lamination does not crack at the fold. All 8 sizes, both ink coverages, and the envelope option are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Here are a few easy ways to make a velvet invitation pull its weight.
Let the velvet carry the design
The soft-touch finish is the feature, so give it room. A dark or jewel-tone background reads rich and deep under the matte film, and the velvet surface pairs naturally with a foil or a bright accent. Because the lamination mutes color slightly, clean type and a single strong graphic land better than a busy layout on a card this tactile.
Decide how far the color goes
You choose the ink coverage. Print 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, the simplest and lowest-cost route for a single-sided announcement. Step up to 4/4 for full color on both sides when you want a map, menu, RSVP details, or a monogram on the reverse. Both coverages print on the same 16pt velvet stock.
Add matching envelopes
Right in the order you can add matching White Wove A2 envelopes, so your velvet invitations arrive ready to address and mail instead of sending you hunting for a match. And if you want to see everything first, choose the free online proof and approve your file before it goes to press.
How Much Do Velvet Invitations Cost?
Velvet invitations start at $251.36 per 500, and the per-card price keeps dropping across 5 quantity tiers toward 10,000, so a cheaper velvet card really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 1,000 runs $327.15, 2,500 runs $630.31, and 5,000 runs $1,009.25, while 10,000 lands at $1,893.44, close to 19 cents a card. 2,500 is the best-rated quantity here. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

How Fast Can You Get Velvet Invitations?
Velvet invitations print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to a 4 business day rush. The rush buys back time for 20 percent on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. 4OVER4 has shipped custom print for over 25 years and lands 99.8 percent of orders on time, so the date you pick is a date you can plan around. Choose the quantity and speed together below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.
How Do Velvet Invitations Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Velvet invitations are the pick when you want the invite itself to feel like a gift, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a wedding-specific cut, a shower version, or a different soft-touch finish, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The Velvet Bridal Shower Invites carry the same velvet to the shower, and the Suede Invitations offer a closely related soft-touch look. The chart below lines up velvet invitations against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Velvet invitations are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range or the whole invitations printing collection any time. If a wedding-specific card, a folded piece, or a different premium finish would serve you better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
