🎫 Clairely Scratching the Surface: What Are Personalised Scratch Cards (And What Are They Actually For)?

You’ve probably seen them floating around the internet — those shiny little rectangles with scratch-off circles that look like something between a lottery ticket and a love letter. But what are personalised scratch cards? And why are people suddenly handing them out at weddings, birthdays, and baby showers like they’re golden tickets to Willy Wonka’s factory?

Well, settle in. You’re about to get Clairely educated.

✨ What Are Personalised Scratch Cards?

Put simply, they're custom-made cards with a hidden message under a scratch-off panel. You tell me what you want the message to say, I foil it, hide it behind a shiny scratch area, and boom — you’ve got a moment of mystery and delight.

It's like giving someone a surprise wrapped in a riddle… but with more glitter.

🎉 So What Can You Use Them For?

The better question is what can’t you use them for. But here are some popular ways customers have used my ClairelyYours scratch cards:

💍 Weddings

  • Ask your bridal party to be part of the big day (no boring text messages here)

  • Reveal the table number or meal choice

  • Give guests a free drink at the bar (if you’re feeling sound)

  • "Match 3 to win a dance with the groom" – chaos guaranteed

🍼 Baby Announcements

  • Reveal your pregnancy to family

  • Let people guess the baby’s gender

  • Scratch to find out baby names (yes, including the rogue ones you’ll never actually use)

🎂 Birthdays

  • Gag gifts (“Congrats, you’re older!”)

  • Hidden messages from friends or partners

  • Reveal a surprise night out, spa day, or "we’re actually staying in and ordering Chinese"

🎁 Surprises and Pranks

  • Scratch to reveal a holiday

  • “You’re going to Disneyland!”
    Or equally:
    “You’re going to the post office, again”

🎉 Business or Party Favours

  • Include discount codes

  • Reveal prizes at hen parties

  • Reward loyal customers with a cheeky surprise

🤔 Do People Really Love These?

Yes. Why? Because unlike a standard card or a basic gift tag, these scratch cards make people interact with them. There’s a moment of excitement. A second of mystery. And then a reaction — usually a scream, a laugh, or a “Jaysus, no way!”

They’re keepsakes. And they feel personal.

🖊️ How Do I Get One Made?

Simple:

  1. Choose the style you want (wedding, baby, custom etc.)

  2. Fill in the personalisation fields

  3. I’ll foil it, scratch it (not literally), and post it out to you

There’s even a Custom Scratch Card listing if you’ve something wild in mind. No judgement.

✨ Final Thoughts

Personalised scratch cards are the kind of thing people didn’t know they needed until they open one — and then suddenly they’re ordering 40 more for every relative, neighbour, and random work colleague named Sheila.

So if you're looking for a fun, unexpected, and gorgeously shiny way to reveal something special... you're Clairely in the right place.
