Why I Became a Stationery Provider | A Love Letter to Wedding Stationery

Hey there!

Ever wonder how someone ends up dedicating their career to wedding stationery? Well, grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of champagne – I won't judge), and let me tell you my story.

It all started back in 2014 when I was planning my own wedding. I remember the moment I held an invitation in my hand that I came across at a wedding fair – the luxurious card, the delicate design, the wax seal finishing touch but I was shocked by the prices, £8+ for a single invitation? Yikes! As much as I loved the beautiful designs, they just weren't in our budget. That's when I decided to create my own wedding stationery, and let me tell you, I absolutely loved the process.

Fast forward a bit, and my life took another big turn. I welcomed my beautiful daughter, Sophie, into the world. Suddenly, my corporate job with its constant travel didn't fit my new life anymore. I wanted to be at home, watching Sophie grow, not stuck in airports and hotels.

That's when it hit me – why not turn my passion for stationery into a business? A business that would allow me to be present for Sophie and help other couples have the wedding stationery of their dreams without breaking the bank.

As I dove deeper into the world of wedding stationery, I realised a few things:

• The power of first impressions: Your invitations are often the first peek your guests get into your big day. They set the tone, build excitement, and give everyone a taste of what's to come.
• The joy of personalisation: There's something magical about creating a design that perfectly captures a couple's love story.
• The thrill of the details: From choosing the perfect shade of blush to deciding between matte or glossy finish, every little decision matters. And let me tell you, it's addictively fun.
• The preservation of memories: Long after the cake is eaten and the dance floor is empty, your wedding stationery remains as a beautiful keepsake of your special day.
• The importance of affordability: Elegant stationery shouldn't be a luxury only some can afford. I made it my mission to provide beautiful options that fit within couples' budgets.

Before I knew it, I was helping friends with their wedding stationery. Then friends of friends. Then complete strangers who became friends. And just like that, my little hobby turned into a full-blown passion and career.

Now, every day I get to be a small part of countless love stories while also being there for Sophie. I get to transform your visions into tangible pieces of art that your guests will ooh and aah over, all at a price that won't make you wince. I get to geek out over paper weights and font pairings with couples who are just as excited as I am.

So, why did I become a stationery provider? Because I believe in the power of stationery to tell your unique love story. Because I want to help make your wedding dreams come true, one beautifully designed and affordable invitation at a time. And because, let's face it, playing with pretty card and designs all day while being there for my daughter is pretty much the best job ever.

To all you engaged couples out there: Your love story deserves to be told in style, and it shouldn't cost a fortune to do so. I can't wait to help you tell it.

Now, who's ready to talk about save-the-dates that won't break-the-bank?
