So let’s start at the beginning: Invitations. Every perfectly planned party needs to start with a show-stopping invite. Did you know that all of our wedding invitations on our online store can also be adapted for a birthday? Just pop us a comment when ordering your invitations that you would like it for a birthday. See our whole range of invitations here. We also have a range of cute themed kiddies invites – whether you are throwing your little one a pizza party or a Coco Chanel soiree then don’t fret we have you covered! If you have something special in mind and can’t see what you are looking for on our online store then please email us at info@secretdiary.co.za for us to design an invitation as unique as you are. For us, the sky is the limit and we would certainly love to assist you with any of your ideas, no matter how crazy they are!

So now that you have the invites done and dusted it’s time to think about party decor. Don’t you dare bring out that cheesy card shop happy birthday signage, rather have us custom make you personalised bunting and banners. We have a wide range of decor items on our online store from quirky cupcake toppers, themed napkins and personalised cake boxes to foil balloons, funky straws and pretty pom poms. Enquire with us for any further paper decor items, we would love to whip something up for you.

Oh no, the party is almost over – it’s a fun idea to give your guests a party bag to continue the party at home. We make custom gift bags and boxes – from fancy personalised screen printed tote bags to quirky themed boxes. We even can fill them with goodies for you with customised gifts and snacks. Chat to us about suggesting some awesome goodie bag fillers unique for you.

This invite is also great for couples who love to travel, who are inviting guests from afar or throwing a destination wedding. These invitations are quite popular at the Secret Diary studio and it is quite obvious why. It is a fun twist on an old idea and makes your guests feel like they are invited to a really special event for a night.

However, the love travels invite is not the only travelling themed invitation that Secret Diary creates, see our online store for more beautiful travel invites!

Our passport invitations have fast become a Secret Diary Designs signature collection! Each passport invitation in 100% unique and is designed around the personality and style of that specific client and their event. We have currently even been propositioned by large corporate companies to create passport invites for their corporate parties and functions which has been great fun! Our passport invitations are best received by your guests in a matching customized envelope which we gladly customize with each of your guests names, surnames and addresses at a minimal additional fee. To finish your envelopes off nicely we suggest that your monogram be repeated on the lip of the envelope where the envelope is sealed and occasionally a touch of additional imagery could add a bit of character to front of the envelope. For added luxury all our envelopes are sold with optional envelope liners which can be printed with a pattern of your choice!

All in all Secret Diary is in the midst of our busiest season to date! Our team has rapidly grown to a whopping group of 7 designers and creativity is at its peak as we are ready and set for the summer months ahead and all the awesome weddings that are to follow!

We have just recently created this little gem of a wedding invitation for the most amazing couple!

Mandi and Eddie are getting married in April at Molenvliet Estate and are having their wedding coordinated by the Aleit group. In saying that they wanted something completely signature to them. Having travelled together in the past as well as their relationship being a journey in itself they decided that a passport invitation would be the most fitting to them.

The look and feel of the passport invitation was to be more of a vintage look and feel but still incorporating a semi authentic passport / journey essence to the stationery. Antique stamps, photo strips and hand drawn illustrations were brought into the invitation design. Our talented newest designer Stacey also hand illustrated a charming little map to Molenvlient Estate to fit in with the rest of the invitations vintage theme. Each booklet was stitched together with cotton thread and comprised of 8 small pages. The amount of pages may be minimised as a pocket friendly alternative.

Since designing this invitation we have already had two other clients wanting the same passport invitation idea which we have happily agreed to give them!

Thank you Mandi and Eddie for being such superb clients and for all the kind words!

For more information on this kind of invitation design and pricing please contact our studio on (021) 981 9682 or email us at info@secretdiary.co.za
