“Even pet parents of the best-behaved fur babies usually don’t want the added responsibility of having to keep up with pets on their wedding day, but want to incorporate them somehow in the wedding celebration,” says Holly Peters, owner of Papeterie Fine Stationery and Gifts in Bon Air. That’s why Papeterie offers custom pet portraits that can bedeck the invitation suite as well as day-of pieces including signage, menus, napkins, programs and more. Papeterie’s staff works closely with clients to capture the personality of their pets through the images, which are created digitally or hand-drawn by in-house designers and artists. Pricing starts at $250 for digital commissions and $500 for hand-created pictures.
