The Pink Sea Turtle Animal Announcements

Paper training has a whole new meaning for pet lovers, thanks to stationary company The Pink Sea Turtle.

The cute, preppy, online-invitation firm, based in Connecticut, offers "Bark Mitzvah" and other animal-party invitations, as well as birth and adoption announcements so that new pet parents can share their joy with the world. The stationers even take the companion-animal experience all the way to the end: They sell bereavement notices for mailing when your beloved Bowzer goes to that big dog run in the sky.

Pink Sea Turtle owners Sheryl Brass and Kim Bastien started their company, they say, because of their love of social events, and the sheer novelty of receiving mail that isn't a bill or "junk." Their wide variety of party and announcement stationary includes the usual items -- i.e. wedding and birthday invites -- but they definitely go the extra mile when it comes to underserved markets: In addition to their pet life-change options, they offer cards for quinceañera, gay-and-lesbian wedding, and baby-shower cards.

The home-customizable cards cost about $12.50 for ten, a real deal when you consider how far they'll go in convincing your friends and family you're simply mad about Max or bananas for Boo-Boo Kitty.
