Puppy Love: How to Include Your Dog (or Cat!) in Your Wedding
Photo by One Vision Photography
While marriage is the ultimate testament of love, there’s truly no bond like the one you have with your pet. So, naturally, they should be a part of your big day! Of course, you can bring your dog or cat along with you (they’d make the cutest ring bearer—if well-behaved!), but if you’re not so keen on watching over them all day, there are other ways to incorporate your furry best friend(s) into your wedding. Read on for some inspiration!
Party Favors
Your pup or feline will be the life of the party (literally) via party favors with his/her face on them that guests will be able to take home and cherish forever—think matchbooks, candles, stickers, koozies, etc.
Decor
Work your cat/dog into your theme by having different elements with their face illustrated on them, like napkins, table numbers and seating placards, wooden drink stirrers, or even photo booth props!
Signature Cocktail
The finest ode to Fido or your feline? A signature cocktail, of course! Create a drink you know you and your guests will love and name it after your pet.
Dress + Tux Detail
The bride and groom can really hold their pet close by incorporating them into their dress or tux. Have your cat/dog sewn into your veil, or order a custom pocket square with his/her face on it.
Cake Topper
“I now pronounce you bride, groom… and pet!” Now that’s one happy family. Show it off by making an extra cake topper for your furry friend—or incorporate them in another silly way throughout the cake. Cue the aws!
Pre-Wedding Festivities
If your pooch or cat can’t make it on the big day, let them tag along for pre-wedding festivities, like while you’re getting ready, first-look photos, and happy hour. And definitely get some pics with them during your engagement photo session!
