An acrylic invitation is a type of event invitation made from acrylic, a transparent or translucent plastic material. These acrylic invitations are known for their elegance and unique appearance. Here are some key features and considerations in our acrylic invitations guide:
- Material: Acrylic invitations are typically made from high-quality acrylic sheets. Acrylic is a durable and lightweight material that usually provides a clear and glossy finish.
- Thickness Variety: We understand that thickness matters when it comes to acrylic invitations. Our range at mylovelystore.com starts from a delicate 0.35mm, providing a subtle and minimalist look, and goes up to 3mm for those who prefer a more substantial feel. For elegance and practicality, we actively offer acrylics in thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 2mm. We believe that this range strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and manageability, ensuring your invitations are both elegant and easy to handle
- Design: Acrylic invitations can be custom-designed to fit the theme and style of your event. You can choose to have them printed with text, graphics, or even photographs. The design can be printed directly onto the acrylic or applied as a decal or overlay.
- Transparency: Acrylic invitations usually are fully transparent. Some designs incorporate frosted, matte or mirror acrylic for a unique look. While a variety of colored acrylic options exist, the most prevalent choices tend to be black acrylic invitations and white acrylic invitations, following clear acrylics in popularity.
- Shape and Size: Acrylic invitations can be cut into various shapes and sizes, including standard card sizes, squares, rectangles, or even custom shapes to match your event’s theme.
- Printing Method: At mylovelystore.com, we offer multiple printing options to make your acrylic invitations truly stand out. You can choose from classic foil-press for a touch of luxury or opt for UV printing to achieve vibrant, high-resolution designs directly on the acrylic surface. These printing techniques add an extra layer of sophistication to your invitations.
- Accessories: You can enhance acrylic invitations with additional elements such as vellum jackets, belly bands, or adding embellishments like ribbons, tassels, crystals, or other decorative elements.
- Packaging: Acrylic invitations often come with a protective film to prevent scratches or damage during transit. Though, when we assemble the invitations, we insert the invitations inside the envelopes, and that way they are protected and ready for mailing.
- Cost: Acrylic invitations tend to be more expensive than paper invitations due to the cost of materials and specialized printing processes. However, they make a lasting impression and are often chosen for upscale events and weddings. (At mylovelystore.com we offer 0.5mm acrylics for the same price as paper invitations)
- Durability: Acrylic invitations are known for their durability and longevity. They can serve as keepsakes for guests to remember the event.
