Mistakes Every Bride Needs To Avoid For An Awesome Wedding Day!
Your pet attends the wedding on these conditions
The location of your wedding, the venue, and, of course, your pet itself all play a big role in determining whether or not your pet can attend your wedding! Although dogs are typically among the simplest pets to handle at weddings, we have also seen couples bring goats, horses, and rabbits to their special day! However, you need to make sure that your venue is pet-friendly and if there are any other animals your pet may chase.
Get a pet sitter!
For couples who simply cannot spend their special day without their little (or giant) furball by their side, this is an excellent choice if you have luck finding a reputable pet sitter in the region or if you know one who is ready to do the job! Even while you still need to confirm that your pet is permitted at the ceremony and/or reception location, your pet will receive constant care, be able to participate in the day, and be included in a few pictures without causing you any hassles.
What To Wear To a Not-So-Close Friend's Wedding?
Mention them in the ceremony
One of the simplest ways to honor your cherished pet is to include a mention of them in your vows, which you may write yourself, or dedicate a beautiful poem with an animal theme to them. A framed portrait might be utilized to guarantee a seat up front for them; that way, they'll be there in spirit! This can also be a great idea if your dear pet has recently passed away and you still want to remember them on your big day.
Include them in the wedding photoshoot
When it’s time for your wedding photoshoot, make sure your photographer captures some photos with your precious pet. You’ll appreciate this wedding album for years to come since it included your precious pet. You should also include a picture of your animal friend in your family album. For an adorable still life photo, place your dog next to your wedding gown.

Decorate your venue with photos of your pet
Including pictures of your pet in your daily routine is perhaps the easiest suggestion on this list. You can use them in free-standing frames placed throughout the reception area or in a charming display that tells your story. We strongly advise getting your pet a small clothing for the occasion. However, you could bring your pet along for the engagement shot and use those images! A dog with a bow tie is adored by all!
PAW-some cake toppers
A pet's cake topper is always a hit, and it's even better if it's a small replica of your cherished pet! You can create one out of clay or wood, or ask your baker to portray them in icing. Additionally, there are many stylish designs that feature pets peering out from beneath the icing or climbing up the tiers. We don't advocate having your entire wedding cake modeled after your furry friend since you may find it hard to slice and serve it.
Pet-themed decor
With regard to pet-themed wedding décor, the options are truly endless! This is one area where you can truly let your imagination run wild! We've seen anything from cow centerpieces to rabbit-shaped candles. Pets can serve as inspiration for table names, especially whether you have a small number of tables or an abundance of pets! We also adore the concept of a photo booth with a pet theme!
Print pet illustrations on the invitation cards
You can find plenty of artists who can create illustrations of your pet. Use these illustrations on your invitation cards so that your guests can know how important they are to you. Since you consider your pets as your family, it’d mean the world to you to include them illustrations on the invitation cards.
