Bert & Harry Paper Company was started in 2000 by Nicole Elliot and was named in honor of her paternal grandparents, Bert (aka Bertha) and Harry, who were a fun-loving couple with a flare for entertaining. Having a background in graphic design and sales and a penchant for parties, Nicole launched Bert & Harry Paper Company with an emphasis on fun invitations with a unique twist. A team of graphic designers, artists and sales representatives has helped to shape the company to include unique die cut cards with original ideas.
