Wedding blogs and magazines (as much as I love them) often give couples unrealistic ideas regarding stationery budgets, especially in relation to the beautifully styled examples they showcase. They often talk about 'average costs' for the 'average wedding' but the Pinterest-worthy stationery that they feature is often extremely high-end and would come with a much higher price tag than their 'average'.

The good news is that no matter what your budget, there will be a stationer to suit your needs and some (myself included) will even have a range of options available for couples at either end of the scale.
