Hi Elsje!

I absolutely LOVE our invitations!!!! Thank you sooo much! Am very happy with them and my friends who have received them here have also commented saying they have never seen nice invites like this before. I keep looking at them. I especially like the different textures, and the ivory paper with the sparkles, really beautiful. And the envelope with liners are so so beautiful!

I look forward to seeing the designs for the rest of the stationary....especially the menu and the lollipos! And the "here comes the bride sign" ...haha actually all of it!

I hope you have a good weekend
Speak soon!

Big hug
Daniela

Elsje en span,

Ek is 'n bietjie laat...maar eerder laat as nooit! Namens my en Philip wil ek net baie, baie dankie sê vir al julle fantastiese skryfbehoeftes vir ons troue op 29 Oktober, en vir die goeie en professionele diens wat julle deurlopend gelewer het. Ons waardeer veral ook julle moeite om baie "last minute" veranderinge te maak en ekstra's te voorsien. Ons troue was vir ons ongelooflik spesiaal, en die skryfbehoeftes was uniek en beslis een van die hoogtepunte. Ons gaste kan nou nog nie uitgepraat raak daaroor nie!!! Nogmals baie dankie.

Goed gaan en alles wat mooi is vir julle.

Groete, Franci

Wel, ek kan nie die email anders begin as om jul te komplimenteer vir jul werk nie! Alles waaraan julle raak is 'n absolute lieflike getuienis dat daar wel nog suiwere skoonheid en tydlose elegansie in die wereld is.

Daarom wil ek niemand anders naby my trou-uitnodigings en ander skryfbehoeftes kom nie!

Hi Elsje,

Just a quick note to say THANK YOU again for all the beautiful things you made
for our luxury stationery shoot.

I also have to mention that our white shoot in the March 2011 issue in which you collaborated with us, got sooo much compliments
from all over – not just readers but also stylists and editors from other magazines – someone even said that it was the best white shoot she has
ever seen!
Thanks for your magic touch.

Thanks

Dearest Elsje & Team

I have been meaning to call ever since I first laid eyes on our absolutely gorgeous wedding stationary but with no signal at the venue and even less here in Madagascar, I have had to resort to email!

After our meeting, I was completely uninvolved in the whole stationary process and although I had no doubt that you and your team would do a brilliant job, I could never have anticipated the quirky, OH-SO-BEAUTIFUL stationary that arrived in Plett perfectly on time, despite the very tight deadline that you were given.

Our stationary really made the decor and wowed our guests. Without it the wedding would certainly not have been the same!

The beautiful origami order of services looked stunning hanging from the Milkwood outside our ceremony venue – I loved all of the special details that you included that represented Andries and I so perfectly.

It was so meaningful to be able to use my great granny's old sewing table and the canvas seating plan with gold stitching looked perfect draping over it! The cute images of the insects looking through the binoculars made a perfect balance of old and new – we spotted tons of photos being taken of this feature!

The menus turned out even better than I could ever have hoped – the gold foiling was sublime and I was so excited to see our monkeys hanging from the chandelier – one of my favourite images that the brilliant Gina found! You used everything we gave you so cleverly and managed to surprise us with special extras that only a phenomenally creative team could think up!

I saw many guests leaving with their adorable pop-up-place-mats tucked under their arms but am thrilled that most of the lazer-cut pieces under the cloche made it back into their boxes – I am so excited to find the perfect place for these in our home as well as for the wooden monkeys who I suspect will be living in our pot-plants on the kitchen windowsill!

Right from day one and especially during the last couple of weeks (when I had so much on my mind that I was barely able to think straight) you and your team made the stationary process an absolute breeze and one of the most fun and rewarding parts of our wedding. You realised that we had big ideas and a small budget and managed to guide and advise us on how to get maximum impact without breaking the bank!

I will sing your praises to everyone I meet and look forward to the next excuse to have something special designed and made by Else Designs!

Thank you for your energy, enthusiasm, astounding creativity and professional follow through!

With love

Jayne (& monkey)

Hi Elsje

Your gifts were an absolute hit! They suited the function (as well as the Peroni brand) perfectly and were really a great finishing touch. We'll definitely use you again.

All the best for the year ahead.

Kind regards

Thanks so much for your input in the wedding on Sunday!

The couples, as well as their families and guests were all thrilled with the day and compliments streamed in – so thanks for all your hard work!
It was certainly seen and appreciated J.

I was delighted when the fabulous ladies from Elsje Designs agreed to create me some amazingly fun, bold and bright decor and stationery for my Christmas Table for Lig Magazine.

I was so impressed by their enthusiasm and willingness to please.

We went for a fun, bright table, completely un-traditional. Bsides, it's summer, and the fruity colours made for the perfect summer Christmas table,

My favourite were these little stars that Elsje Designs made - hang them against a wall or around your tree. Too sweet.

A big thanks to the Elsje Design Team, I had a very happy client and a really successful and fun shoot!

Hi Annemie/ Linnett

Just wanted to let you know that i managed to have a few invites sent to me and myself and my finance are thrilled with them..they turned out beautifully.

Thank you so so much, you really combined all my little ideas to produces and wonderful wedding invitation which I think is unique and elegant.

I wanted to ask - is it at all possible to have A3 sheets printed back and front on the same shimmer card with the same light grey pattern (same size pattern no larger), basically i would like to make some table numbers, seating plan cards but unfortunately i wont know these until the last minute so what i was thinking is to have some of these sheets made and when ready i will print to it.

Is this possible and if so how much would it cost? i was thinking about 15 A3 sheets or 10 A3 sheets and 10 A4 sheets (thats probably too much but rather have more than too little)

Kindly advise what you think the best course of action would be to have this done, i wouldnt mind you doing it yourselves but im worried about time contrains, who much time would you need to do table seating plan with names (like a list of names with table number on top)?

Many thanks
Regards

Dear Ladies

I would like to thank you for the most amazing wedding invites I have ever seen in my life!

My day had a very rocky start, but this cheered it up right away.

Thank you so much!

Beatrix & Riaan

Elsje’s team produced some really stunning stationery, from the invitations right through to the menus and seating plan. We only wish we’d had the presence of mind to take a sample of everything to keep (we only managed to hang onto an Order of Service and the wine bottle tags in the end). Thanks to the team for the efficiency and creativity of their work. It was a pleasure to work with such a switched-on team.

Tamara & Trevor

Hi Elsje,

Mark and I just wanted to say a huge thank you, for all your hard work, enthusiasm and dedication in helping us create the first glimpse into our day!

The invitations arrived at my mom's office this morning!! She just called to say how stunning they are and how over the moon she is with how they have turned out. She made the fedex guy wait while she checked everything before signing for it and even he was super impressed with the quality& standard!

My mom said it is also a pity that I wasn't there to open the box as she said it was presented so beautifully and even came layered with copper tissue paper - what a lovely touch, just my style, I love beautifully packaged things. It is exactly how I imagined the experience to be, so thank you for making it so.

I am beside myself with excitement and now can't wait for Sat morning to arrive so that I can see the invites in person when they land in London!!!!

We look forward to working with you again in creating the remaining stationery for our wedding like the menus, place cards etc.

We will be in touch soon.

To the fantastic team at Elsje Designs

Just wanted to send you all a note to say thank you so much for adding so much to our special day. It was such a pleasure working with you all! Everyone we worked with at Elsje Designs was so professional, always friendly and always helpful. Organising my wedding from the UK was not easy, but working with you guys was. Our wedding invitations, on the day stationery and our thank you cards were all so beautifully designed and crafted, you exceeded all our expectations. Every details was considered. And most impressively everything was done so quickly and efficiently. Every deadline was met despite all the public holidays in April!

Everyone just loved our invitations, the seating plans, their name tags, favour boxes, thank you cards and most of all our menus that were printed on our napkins.

Thank you all again!

Hi All,

I would just like to say thank you for the stationery you did for me - it arrived on time and the quality of the work is excellent!

I have had two people ask me where I got it from already for events of theirs.

I have attached some pics of your stationery on the tables - these are just pics that guests took. If the photographer took any good ones I will forward them to you.

Regards

You have allowed the tone of the wedding to be set at an exceptional level by the card that you produced. There is not a single soul that has not complimented us on the card. We are grateful for your work.

Warm thoughts,

Not only you did an excellent job but your service was phenomenal, I expected you to deliver within a limited time and you didn’t disappoint me!!

Hoe se ‘n mens: Dankie? Dankie dat my troudag “die beste dag van my lewe”, was. Ek herleef elke dag ‘n stukkie van die 17de Desember. En maak nie saak aan watse herrinnering ek nou dink nie, iewers is een van julle “Elsje Designs”-item in my prentjie. Julle het absoluut my verwagtinge oortref! Ek dink aan die waaiertjies, die pragtige konfettiboksies, die kerkprogamme…en dan onthou ek…een van ons gaste, Grant, wat Francois aan die arm gryp en sê: “Kyk net die detail”, terwyl hy ‘n suikerboksie vashou!

Ek is so dankbaar vir julle onbeskryflike kreatiwiteit en professionalisme. Dankie, sonder julle sou my troudag nie dieselde gewees het nie!

Groete van Dubai,

You know I’ve seen a few pieces of your work in this year’s bridal magazine and I was soooooo impressed – I am a graphic designer myself doing (working as a corporate designer) however keeping myself busy by always doing wedding invites & goodies. However, I thought I just have to let you know how absolutely amazing your work is! I am most impressed. You really have the touch!

Keep it going girl!
