Foil Surprise Reveals

Personalised reveal cards that keep a destination, gig or experience hidden behind real foil, priced from €6 to €10 and made to order in Mallow, County Cork. Most designs pair genuine foil with a scratch-off panel so the surprise comes away in flakes rather than one wipe, and a few are foil only. Names, dates and event details are set before printing, so the card doubles as the keepsake afterwards. Browse concert and festival keepsakes, holiday reveal keepsakes or experience keepsakes.

About these Foil Surprise Reveals

A reveal card only works if the surprise genuinely stays hidden. These are printed with real foil, and on most designs that foil sits under a scratch panel, so the destination or venue comes away in flakes instead of showing through the moment the envelope is opened. People buy them for the handover itself: the trip to Rome, the gig, the theme park day that has been booked for weeks and kept quiet.

Every card is made to order. Names, dates, venues and the line under the panel are set before anything is printed, so the reveal matches the artwork on the front rather than being written in by hand afterwards. Prices run from €6 for the simpler scratch designs up to €10 for the larger DIY reveals you complete yourself. The card is the announcement, not a valid travel or admission document, and it survives being kept on a shelf long after the event has passed.

Cards are printed, foiled and packed by hand in Mallow, County Cork, and dispatched in 2 to 4 working days across Ireland. For a narrower browse, see concert and festival keepsakes, holiday reveal keepsakes or experience keepsakes.

Good to know

Foil Surprise Reveals questions, answered

Is the foil real foil?

Yes. These are pressed with real metallic foil rather than printed in gold ink, so the design catches the light and holds its shine. Each product page lists the foil colour for that design.

How does the scratch panel work?

A silver scratch panel is applied over your hidden line. Your recipient scratches it off with a coin and the message underneath appears. It only reveals once, so the moment is a real one.

What sort of surprises do people announce with these?

Concerts, holidays, theme park trips, dinners, spa days and days out. You write the surprise into the personalisation box and it prints on the keepsake.

How long before it arrives?

Made to order and dispatched within 2 to 4 working days, then standard An Post delivery within Ireland.

What if I spot a mistake in the details?

Message me straight away. If it has not gone to print yet I will fix it at no cost. Once it is printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
