    Beautiful Invitations and Supporting Small Business

    I cannot say enough good things about Reaves Engraving! They were recommended to me through a friend of a friend that had their wedding invitations done there. I was so happy I could give a small business my order. I wanted very classic wedding invitations and Reaves did not disappoint. The invitations are absolutely gorgeous!!

    They are very old school and mailed me my physical samples. I live about an hour and a half away and was able to do everything over the phone and via email. They were prompted with emails. Everytime I called they were more than happy to accommodate any of my questions.

    They communicated they were behind with covid, which is completely understandable, but that never was a worry with my order. They were very communicative of the process. We opted to have the invitations, calligraphy, stamping, and stuffing of innovations done by them. This saved me so much time. I received my order right on time for my March 26th date. I know that they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my order.

    The prices were fantastic. I paid for the invitations after the proofs were finalized and I was not charged for my calligraphy until after I had already received my order. These invitations are gorgeous and set the perfect tone for our wedding. Thank you!

    Amazing quality and excellent customer service

    Trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic is not easy. The team at Reaves Engraving was very helpful throughout the entire process. They sent multiple samples and were very helpful when speaking to them over the phone and through email. We had a to make some last minute changes to our invitations. They were understanding and were able to make the changes quickly our order wasn't held up. Our invitations suite is beautiful and the calligraphy is an elegant added touch. We also received our invitations faster than quoted which is an added bonus! I will be sure to use them again when we order our escort cards.

    Fantastic!

    I could not be happier with the way our wedding invitations turned out!!! They are absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our wedding.  We wanted classic and elegant and Reaves delivered 100%! The quality is top notch and they were so carefully assembled and packed. The calligraphy adds such a special touch! I so appreciated the advice given and the confirmations and double checking during the entire process. Of course, that is exactly what I expected as my family has used Reaves many times over the years. My grandmother, mom, aunt, cousins, sister, etc have all ordered from Reaves dating back to the 60's. I truly cannot wait for our friends and family to receive them. They are the perfect first impression of our special day.

    Lovely company that still does engraved invitations

    Reaves did our invitations (engraved), envelopes (machine calligraphy), and escort cards (machine calligraphy). They were wonderful to deal with, and answered all my silly questions about how to word the invitations and envelopes. Their products are superb, really high quality and beautifully done. I highly recommend them.

    We used Reaves' services for our wedding invitation suite as well as thank you cards for our wedding guests. Our invitations were beautiful! When we met with them at their office Matt custom designed every element of our invitation, RSVP, and reception cards according to what I wanted and came up with a design that was perfect and completely unique! His advice for wedding invitation etiquette was very valuable as well. All of their staff were very responsive to any communication we had and we received our invitations very promptly. Overall we loved working with this company and would highly recommend using them for your invitations!

    Reaves sent a beautiful sample packet for wedding invitations. Ordering was easy; choosing was difficult! Invitation arrived as ordered and turn around time was very quick.

    Really could not have been happier with our invitations. Simple and eloquent. Perfect for our black tie Washington DC Wedding. Ordering is a bit old school but the quality is outstanding especially for the price. Much cheaper and higher quality then other places we looked.

    Absolutely incredible- I do not know how they can have such low prices. This place is an absolute gem. We received beautiful, traditional invitations for a strangely low cost. The paper was thick and beautiful, the employees were fabulous to work with, and the company sent an enormous envelope of samples within two days. This was one of my best wedding picks!

    I cannot say enough incredible things about Barbara and David and the entire Reaves team. While they have a small shop, they have clients all over the country, and I know why after working with them this past year on a gorgeous paper suite for my wedding in Charleston (invitations, menus, programs, cocktail napkins, welcome cards). Our friends and family raved about how beautifully done each paper item was, and I couldn't agree more. I will treasure them forever!

    Reaves is a hidden gem you may not hear about unless you're lucky enough to know someone from North Carolina. I can't say how glad I am to have found this company. Their prices are extremely affordable and their quality is excellent. I was becoming extremely discouraged by the process of finding a company to do invitations - most websites and companies were very pricey and I could not afford the quality I was looking for. Thanks to Reaves' reasonable prices I was able to afford thermography invitations, RSVP cards, and enclosure cards. I was also able to afford their calligraphy service, which they don't mention on their website but they actually calligraphy both the outer and inner envelope for the price advertised (their invites also come with inner envelopes for the prices listed.) They have a number of beautiful papers and their house papers are excellent quality, and their letterpress and engraving services are also well-priced for brides looking for something even more special. Additionally, they worked with us to adjust the wording of the invitation to sound more elegant and they also took our address list and reformatted everything to fit with Crane's wedding etiquette (at no additional cost.) As if it could get any better, they put together each invitation suite so all we had to do was put stamps on the RSVP cards and add them in. Our invites were done in a timely manner - about 2 weeks from first contact, approval of the proof, and at our doorstep! I've gotten several compliments as my guests have started getting their invitations on how pretty and elegant they are. I can't rave enough about this company.

    This is the only place to get invitations. At least 10 of my friends have also used them. They have been in business forever and they know everything. The person I met with was able to give me etiquette tips on wording of the invitation and gave us good advice for styling. Amazing!!

    This is a very professional family business that does everything either by phone, online, by e-mail, or postal service. They know their business well and the etiquette, so as to give you up-to-date, helpful information. They are timely and the quality is fabulous for the price. I highly recommend them!

    I could not have been happier with my invitations!! They were classic, high quality and best of all affordable. I also ordered their calligraphy services, and everything came out beautifully. They were easy to work with, detail oriented and professional. I would use them again in a heartbeat!!!

    Reaves Engraving was very easy to work with - they incorporated a drawing into our invitation, which turned out beautifully! We received so many compliments, and the total cost for our letterpress invitations ended up being far less expensive than anticipated.

    These individuals are fabulous! They can make just about anything and are so patient. Our invitations were GORGEOUS and we received so many compliments on them. Even better, they are far more affordable than all the other places on the web today and the quality cannot be beat! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

    Reaves is a family business in operation since 1933. They worked with my daughter through the entire process. They will send you a proof to make sure everything is perfect before they go to press. This company is made to order. You get to choose what you like and how you like it! They are the best and most budget friendly engravers we found. And we looked at a lot of options before finding this business! The invitations look beautiful and perfect! They also will address your envelopes if you send them a google drive!

    Reaves Engraving was wonderful to work with for invitations. Although their order form seemed complicated at first, they were incredibly helpful and responsive both over the phone and via email. We basically sent them an "inspiration picture" of what we wanted the invitations to look like, and they were able to work off of that, so it all felt very individualized and personal. We also had them to the calligraphy which was GORGEOUS. My mom couldn't stop marveling over them. The quality was excellent, we got letterpressed invitations with a reception card, response card and envelope, and an additional enclosure card with website info. Everyone said they loved the invites. I would definitely use them again and recommend them! They are based in North Carolina, but shipped to Virginia, and were extremely timely with everything. Thanks Reaves!

    Our invitations came out beautifully and we got so many compliments. Everyone was great to work with (we were ordering from out of state) and we were able to get letterpress, hand lined envelopes, and addresed envelopes for less than the cost of much more basic invites from almost anywhere else I looked. HIGHLY reccomend the computerized calligraphy option.

    Reaves Engraving is an incredible company that strives to satisfy each customer. Their website is not fancy and could use some improvements but when you call, you talk to a real person and they really do help. I used Reaves for my wedding invitations, programs, napkins, and thank you notes and so did my sister and my mother for each of their weddings! The quality of their product along with the affordability cannot be beat. I am so pleased with the entire process and will recommend Reaves to anyone who asks.

    I really wanted letterpress invitations but the pricing was out of control! After doing some research I found Reaves- they were very friendly, efficient and delivered everything in a timely manner. I got the samples in mail quickly and was able to pick the stock and color that matched my theme. They even helped me design a nice monogram. I am thrilled with the quality and elegance of the final product!
