Willy Wonka Golden Tickets

InhaleMood

Hi all,

I wonder if some creative person could help me out?!


It is my 30th in December and I have decided to have a Willy Wonka themed birthday party. Childish, I know, but I want something memorable!


I want to send out Golden Tickets as the invites, and have designed a template. I tried printing them onto metallic gold card at the weekend, and although they looked great initially, the ink smudged when I tried to cut them out.


Does anyone have any ideas how else I could do these?


I have so many other ideas for the party....so excited!

Hmmmm... could you print them out with black bold letters on white card then spray the card gold?? Not sure if this would work but it's worth a try.

Try setting your printer onto its "draft" setting when you print. You need to put as little ink as possible onto the page. Then leave it to dry for at least 24 hours.

How about printing onto gold paper then laminating them straight away?

Last year I made golden tickets and slid them inside the galaxy chocolate bar wrappers for my older kids.

I went to scott and sergeant/steamer cookshops and bought a packet of rectangular golden doillies and wrote on them with a fine line marker pen


copied the script front & back from the official tickets I googled the info.

the doillies were about 4 inches by 6 inches, gold but quite thin

kids loved them,

I have also bought 10 birthday cards for a pound from the card factory and used the ten envelopes which fitted the doillies and sent them out as birthday invites before now

Thanks everyone! That is really helpful

I am moving house at the moment so probably not a good time to be doing something so delicate, but as soon as I am in I will give it a go!!!!

You could just do a gold background, put on a fancy border and the type over the top, then print and cut them out so there's no white edge. Try Google images for a gold background, there's squillions!
