Hey Everyone!
With all of the excitement of our new Berkshire Dog Pack coming out, we thought it might be fun to blog about how to include your pet into your wedding!
Many people see their pets as members of their families, so naturally you would want to include them in the ceremony. They're with you for every other life event so why not include them in one of, if not, THE most important day of your life? There are two simple ways to include your pet in the festivities: through invitations, and through inclusion in the wedding party.
1) Include your pet in the Save the Date and Wedding Invitation.
Feature your pet on the save the date by festooning them with a cute sign around their neck with your names, the date of your event, and any other pertinent information you wish to include. Involve them on the invitation by including your furry friends names as well! For example: "Becky, Joe and Shadow request the honor of your presence at their Wedding..." along with a photo of the three of you. This will certainly let your guests know how important your pets are to you, and let them know that they will be there for the big day!
2) Keep your pets close, and make them part of the wedding party!
Make them your Best Man or Maid of Honor. Your pet can don a little tuxedo or a tiny tutu and walk down the aisle alongside your friends and family members. And if they don't do well with clothing, a corsage or a little spray of flowers will do just as well! All you need to do next is decide how to get them down the aisle... When choosing a method of getting your pet to the altar, consider your pet’s temperament. A squirmy rabbit or cat, for instance, might need to be held down the aisle, then placed in a cage or bed. A well-trained dog could walk down the aisle alone.
Another option is to have your pet as your ring bearer or flower girl. Tie a ring bearer pillow around your pets tummy or have your puppy carry a basket or flower petals down the aisle in their muzzle! Can you think of a cuter way to include your pets?!
