How to Involve your Pets in your Wedding
Pets are a part of your family so why not include them on your big day! Here are 10 ways you can incorporate your pets in your wedding.
1) Pet Announcement
Recently engaged and trying to figure out the best way to announce it? Why not have your pets do it for you! What better way to tell your friends and family the great news than by sharing a photo of your furry family! Whether you are posting it on social media or sending your “Save the Date” cards, including your pets is a great way to add a personal touch.
2) Wedding Party
Looking for that perfect dress, maybe a fitted tux, or how about a pearl collar (yes I said collar)!
Whether your cat is a flower girl, your pet pig is the ring bearer or your dog is the best man, including your pet in the wedding party is a great way to make your day just a little bit more special! Your guests will love the cuteness your pets bring to the ceremony as they make their way down the aisle.
3) Always with you
Sometimes it might not be possible to have your beloved pet attend your wedding. A great way to ensure they are still involved and in your thoughts is to attach a personalized charm to your flower bouquet or surprise your groom to be with personalized cufflinks. This way your pet will still be with you during your big day.

4) Signage
Don’t want your guests to get lost? Why not have your pets show them the way! Signs can be helpful for guiding guests but they can also a nice décor element. Whether they are painted, photoshopped or posed photos, your pets can help your guests saunter their way through your wedding with ease and a touch of cuteness!
5) Pet Perspective
Are you looking for a unique way to capture all the wedding action? If so, this one’s for you! Attach a Go Pro to your dog and have him/her wander through your guess to get a different kind view of your wedding, your pets view! What a great way to see what everyone in attendance was up to and also a great way to include your dog in the festivities!
6) Pet Themed Favours
What better way to send your guests home than with doggie bags, literally! Set up a “treat” table full of puppy treats so your guests can take home a little snack for their furry friends. A doggie bag has never been so cute!
7) Honour your Pet
Are favours not your thing? Then this one is for you! Instead of spending money on favours, a great way to honour your guests (and pets) is by making a donation to your local animal shelter in lieu of wedding favours. This is a great way to ensure your money is being spent wisely and also a great way to incorporate your pet into your celebration.
8) Photos
You can’t have a wedding without photos! What better way to capture your memories than to include your pet in your photos, after all they are a part of the family as well! Whether its engagement photos, wedding photos or everything in-between, including your fur baby will add to all of your photo fun!
9) Table Card numbers
A creative way to include your pets in your wedding is to incorporate them into your table numbers. One way to do this is to have your pets pose for photos with numbered props and use these photos to display the table numbers. If you are looking for a more subtle approach, why not purchase some table card holders that resemble your pet. This is a great way to have a little touch of animal love in your décor.
10) Cake
Looking for a unique idea for a groom’s cake? Why not turn his lovable companion into a tasty work of art! Surprise your groom with a cake that will be sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
Another great way to include your pets is to have a customized cake topper made that includes all members of the family (furry and all).
Whether your pet is a dog, cat, turtle, pig, horse or any other kind of animal there is always a place for them on your wedding day!
