The Proposal
There are honestly so many ideas that you could come up with to include your pet with your proposal. Get creative and jot some ideas down, and see what works best for you. A few suggestions would be to get a name tag engraved with "Will You Marry Me" or, teach your pet to balance a ring on their head. The fact of the matter is, you know your pet best. Have fun with it, and them!
Engagement Photos, Save The Dates & Invitations
I love the idea of pets being in engagement photo's, just remember that pets can be unpredictable. In the event that you hire a photographer, be sure to give them a heads up so that they are also prepared. It probably wouldn't hurt to bring some extra treats with you the day of the photoshoot. Invitations are another great way to include your pet. Sites such as Shutterfly make creating your own invitations and save the dates a breeze!
Ceremony
There is nothing like man's best friend being the best man, flower girl, ring bearer, or maid of honor! Your pet can have any role at your wedding. Be sure to check with the venue that they are pet friendly. If you plan on including your pet, do your homework and check out sites such as BringFido or a list of pet friendly attractions. Receptions can become pretty hectic, and maybe even scary for some pets. Do not assume that your drunk uncle is keeping an eye out on your pet, hire a pet sitter!
The Reception
The ceremony is over, and now your pet sitter is keeping an eye on your furbaby. Time to get the party started! Do not feel bad if your pet can't be a physical part of the festivities. Have your guests find their seat at a table marked with your pets picture! There are a lot of cute ways you can include your pet in your decor, such as name place cards, centerpieces, cake toppers, table favors, and so much more! We understand that some pets may have crossed over the rainbow bridge, but they are forever in your hearts. Include your beloved pet with a beautiful pet memorial, guest book, or let your guests know that money from the dollar dance will be donated to your favorite rescue in memory of your pet. It's your day, make it special.
