Our Company
Reaves Engraving was founded in 1933 by Marion and C. McMillan Reaves. The first location was the couple’s home. The early popularity of Reaves spurred the move from the house to a one room building in Wagram, North Carolina. Mack traveled throughout the Carolinas selling stationery to law firms while Marion stayed in Wagram to run the wedding invitation operation. After Mack’s death in 1973, Marion sold the business to her sister and brother-in-law, Martha and Lindsay Pratt. Under their watch the company continued its growth through an emphasis on quality, service and value. Subscriptions to major newspapers on the east coast provided the ability to contact recently engaged couples to offer them Reaves Engraving invitations. In 1984 Marion retired and Lindsay and Martha sold the company to their son Lindsay Pratt, Jr. and his wife Gabrielle. In 1996, Reaves Engraving was unable to purchase suitable land for expansion in Wagram and moved to its present location in Laurinburg, North Carolina.
Adding new ideas to the tradition rich company allows Reaves Engraving to meet the desires of today’s brides with the craftsmanship of yesteryear. For more than seventy-five years, the business has grown in scale and scope by serving bridal couples across the nation, and world, and offering them a wider range of products. However, the ideas of quality, service and value are still the cornerstones of the company.
While we work with thousands of customers each year, we are frequently on a first name basis with customers and give individual attention to every client. Each member of our staff can assist you with any phase of your order.
As a corporation Reaves supports local endeavors such as the Scotland County Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Center; and engages in a leadership role in sports initiatives like the Scotland County Parks and Recreation; Boy Scouts of America and with the Laurinburg Downtown Revitalization Committee on county-wide business issues. 
The Scotland County Humane Society receives a great deal of attention as they helped place several valuable “employees” to serve as the night watch over the years. Currently, "Mister W", "Tertia", "Minnie" and "JV" are keeping the premises safe from squirrels (and spam faxes).
