You’ve booked your venue, sent out your save the dates, and chosen the most beautiful wedding dress. Now it’s time for you to complete your wedding with pretty touches on your wedding invitations. In the past few years, people have been creatively exploring possibilities for wedding invitations materials, and one of them is acrylic. Today we’re gonna talk about our favourite acrylic wedding invitations as inspiration for your upcoming wedding.
Acrylic is a kind of plastic, fabric, fiber, or paint that’s made from acrylic acid. It is widely used for signage and invitations. The material can be used for various wedding stationery, such as invitations, table numbers and wedding signs. It might look like glass, but it weighs less than and is far more transparent. Acrylic is incredibly adaptable and doesn’t limit itself to a specific design style. You can choose a super-luxe design or a more minimalist one.
Acrylic wedding invitations are actually pretty simple in process, but only if you have the right tool and machine to cut and print them. However, since most people don’t have the right tools to cut and print acrylic sheets safely, arranging these at home would require you to purchase a pre-cut acrylic that is cut to size. You will also need a die-cut sticker that has been printed with your design. After that, you need to stick them on your acrylic sheet and peel the clear layer of the sticker carefully (yes, this process takes time, especially if you have more than 50 invites to do).
You can save yourself from the hassle by enquiring to a company that offer acrylic printings instead of doing them yourself.
There are at least four types of acrylic that are commonly used for wedding invitations, clear acrylic, black acrylic, frosted acrylic and rose gold acrylic. Acrylic also comes in various thicknesses, and it can be cut down to any size and shape you want. While most people use white ink on acrylic, there is actually no limitation on what colour we can apply. Below we have chosen our 20 favourite acrylic wedding invitations for your inspiration!
Pixie Dust Style Clear Wedding Invitations
This gold acrylic invites by Happy Invitation is the perfect romantic style invitation for you. We love how the entire design is featured with whimsical fonts and a sparkle of gold dust on the edges.
Sweet wedding invitations acrylic in rose theme
We love playing with fonts and composition, and we think Margo and Bees do too! This pink wedding invitation is sleek and sweet at the same time. Adding flowers to your envelope liner is a brilliant idea to step up your invitations.
Frosted acrylic wedding invitations in a garden theme
We love how this frosted acrylic turns a garden design into winter-themed wedding invitations with its cold finish. The design is completed by similar botanical liners and leaf-green envelopes, which wrap the entire look perfectly.
Frosted acrylic wedding invitations in gold foil and vellum
Another gorgeous example of how frosted acrylic can be a wow factor to a minimalist wedding invitation. We are a fan of the rose gold foiling and how it is paired with a vellum sleeve and lined envelope. This design by Picky Bride called ‘Lucite’ acrylic wedding invitations is perfect for winery weddings.
Black acrylic wedding invitations
Black acrylic is such a fashion statement for weddings which represents luxe and class. We love how this traditional design uses gold digital colour and black background to give contrast. If you’re looking to style black acrylic for your wedding invitations or other stationery, make sure to use a contrasting bright colour for the texts so it’s legible for your guest.
Rose gold acrylic wedding invitations
Rose gold acrylic is a mirror-type acrylic, so instead of see-through, it reflects light. This type of acrylic goes well with white ink printing and produces a romantic look.
Harry potter acrylic wedding invitations with dust green velvet envelope
Whenever we see an outlined illustration of an old castle, we are suddenly reminded of the magical castle of Harry Potter. This classic design by Pollina Perri is amazing and we love how it pairs with a green velvet envelope that enhances the look. If your wedding takes place in a beautiful old building and you want to highlight it, you can get an illustrator to sketch the venue for you and add it to your invitations.
White ink acrylic wedding invitations with a dusty pink envelope
Calling out all dusty pink lovers! We could never say no to a simple white ink acrylic invitation paired with a signature dusty pink envelope. It is another reason why you must get intense coloured envelopes for your acrylic wedding invitations. It is always safe to use contrasting colours so your vital information can be easily readable. Font combination is also the key to avoiding your invitations being uninteresting. This design from PaperPlumCo has the perfect font combination and looks clean and neat.
Botanical acrylic wedding invites with forest green envelope
Designing a wedding invitation is not limited to the design of the main invitation itself. Any supporting details such as envelope, liners, and material is also included in the design process. We love how this foliage design on acrylic paired up with forest green envelope to tie the whole botanical theme together.
Ocean DIY acrylic wedding invitations with velvet envelope
This Seawaves design from Polina Perri is perfect for beach weddings! We love how the designer engraves sea waves onto the acrylic. This might not be the easiest way to style acrylic invitations but the results are beyond amazing.
White ink clear acrylic wedding invitations with pink velvet pocket
We might be biased, but we love all acrylic invites that are paired with velvet wrap or envelope. Velvet has a very nice texture, it leaves no scratch on your acrylic invites and is aesthetically pleasing. This sweet design from Margo and Bees is appealing, especially the soft pink and rose gold foil combo!
White floral acrylic glass wedding invitations
This geometric design from Pixel and Ink is simply gorgeous. We love the choice of fonts and the hexagonal border framed with romantic flowers in a purple theme. This type of design is perfect for giving a hint of your bouquet colour. Simply play around with a floral sketch as the border, and it will be uniquely yours instantly.
Dark mood gold printing on clear acrylic invitations and rustic floral liners
What we love from this dark and moody design from Margot & Co is how they pair bold colours together. Burgundy, gold and silver all in one theme! Just like how they did, you can keep your wording and design layout simple for it to be legible. You don’t always have to choose a contrasting colour, but if you’re thinking of doing gold on gold, it will be best to keep your fonts thick and spacious. After that, find an envelope liner of your choice that would best represent your style.
Luxury acrylic wedding invitations with gold foil
Less is more. There is no phrase that can represent this design style better. It consists of all the basic elements in traditional luxury wedding invitations, script font for names, a classic monogram, and a border. To emphasize your wedding monogram, you can turn it into gold foil, and it will be the first thing ever to amaze your guests!
Acrylic wedding invitations with box
What we love about these boxed invitations from Margo and Bees is how they use a totally clear acrylic with white ink and insert some green leaves under it. This is why we have continuously said that styling wedding invitations aren’t limited to only the main invites but also any supporting details such as packaging and ornaments. With the use of actual leaves, your guest will get instant information about the wedding theme without you explaining.
Chic diecut acrylic wedding invitations with glitter
If you’re wondering whether acrylic invites can be in various shapes, the answer is totally yes! We love how this invitation incorporates a customised hexagon die cut and adds gold lines to emphasize diamond reference towards the design.
Octagon die-cut shape acrylic wedding invitations in gold
Another die-cut shape idea that might be the perfect inspiration you have been looking for! This classic design in gold and die-cut combo is simply stunning. Pair it with a black envelope and gold wax seal for a timeless look.
Terracota arch acrylic invitations for a wedding
We’ve been trying to find the perfect word to describe this design set because there are so many beautiful things incorporated here. First, the stylish arch die-cut invitation and second, a modern styled RSVP with rounded edges. The colours used represent bohemian weddings, so if you are planning to have one, you better take note of these beautiful colours!
Watercolour painted acrylic wedding invitations
If you are a fan of DIY projects and confident enough with your brushing skills, you should try applying watercolour paint on your acrylic invites! Get some acrylic printed with white ink and paint it with the colour of your choice. Tip: Apply your paint on the back side of the acrylic to create a sleek finished look from the front.
Acrylic wedding invitations with a vellum belly band
Having acrylic wedding invitations is amazing, but sometimes we still need to add supporting details on separate cards for our guests. We must think of a way to keep these cards in tune with each other despite being printed on different materials, and one of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to do this is to use a belly band. Belly bands for wedding invitations can be printed on any type of light-weight paper to avoid them being bulky inside the envelopes. This invitation set from Golden Weddings is an example of how vellum belly band can complement the entire suite perfectly.
