The Ballavimus Ballroom Diary is a handmade leather album for the formal ball season, from Scottish reeling to Vienna. Each diary holds dance cards, tickets, photographs and your written notes from up to 100 balls. Personalised gold foil embossing on the front cover. Made in Britain.
Fill yours up and it will become one of the most treasured items you possess - a collection of memories of a lifetime well lived with physical keepsakes that were with you on those special nights.

Every ball, remembered
Every ball is unforgettable in the moment. The music, the dancing, the ballroom. But soon the details fade. Which band played at your favourite ball? Who did you waltz with in Vienna? Your dance cards and tickets sit in a drawer, slowly being forgotten along with the ball itself.
Becomes one of your most treasured possesions
Record 100 balls in one beautiful heirloom book - every partner, every dance, every special detail.
Add your dance cards and tickets on the left. Capture your memories on the right. Create a treasured record you'll revisit for decades.

Made Just For You
Six leather colours and personalised gold foil embossing. Every diary is unique to its owner.
Everything you need to know
How It Works
Each A4 two-page spread records two complete evenings.
On the left, a blank page lets you mount your dance card, programme, or ticket with photo corners - no glue, no damage to your mementos.
On the right, guided prompts capture the name and date of the ball, everyone in your party (up to 16 names), the band, and whatever details you want to remember forever.
One diary holds 100 balls - enough for a lifetime of nights worth remembering.
How To Make It Yours
Every diary includes hand-embossed gold foil lettering on the front cover, up to 21 characters of your choice.
Examples: 'Reeling Balls' • 'Vienna Balls' • 'The Henderson Family' • 'Ballroom Memories'
Not sure what to put? We'll emboss 'Balls and Dances' as a default - included at no extra charge.
You can also choose up to four letters for the spine, ideal if a family keeps their diaries side by side on a shelf.
Choose your leather colour from six options at the top of this page.
