About

Sweetest Beginnings began in 2008 while anticipating the arrival of twins. A project turned into a website and it just continues to grow.

The owner, Susan McRae, is the one behind the beginning of this dream. Loving her job and meeting new clients is the highlight of her day, along with her daughter and son, as well as her hard-working husband.

The storefront began in 2015 and has turned into the coziest meeting area and unique gift shop. Meet with one of three designers when you schedule your consult. We love to create custom and help make your paper unique for you.

Our Wedding Invites Etc

The first time I walked into Sweetest Begginnings, I knew this is was who would be doing our invitations. Susan had an instant solution for us. I texted her several times, spur of the moment to request something and she fulfilled those requests without hesitation. And walking into the store, is a treat as well. I wouldn’t change one thing...SB is awesome!

Selecting stationary was easily one of the most difficult decisions I made during the wedding planning process. I met with at least 6 different vendors when it was all said and done. When I met Susan, I knew she was my girl! Susan is so easy to work with, friendly, accommodating, extremely efficient, and she saw my vision from the beginning. From save the dates, to the entire invitation suite, menus, table numbers, programs, the list goes on. They were all PERFECT and my guests said it was the most beautiful stationary they had ever seen! Couldn't have been more pleased. :)
