5 Cute Ways To Feature Your Pet On Your Wedding Day
We know how much pets mean to our couples and their love stories. So, of course, it only makes sense to make sure your pet is included in your special day. Here are just a handful of ideas on how to incorporate your dogs, cats, lizards, birds, fish, etc. into your wedding.
Get Ready With Them
If you’re too stressed about bringing them to the ceremony, you can absolutely suit up and/or get your makeup and hair done with your pet by your side. Plus…who better to calm your nerves than your favorite furry friend? Your photographer will absolutely take advantage of these intimate moments and grab some fab candids.

Add Them To The Wedding Party
Sometimes the ideal candidate for best man is man’s best friend. At the Elliot, you can walk your pet down the aisle and have them stand with you, or sit in the front row. And if your pets get nervous around crowds of people, you can still bring them for pre- or post-ceremony photos.
Theme The Bar
You can pay homage to your pets at the bar…and your guests will simply adore it! From signature drinks and cocktail stirrers to personalized napkins and beer koozies, you can go all out with nods to your animals.

Step Up Your Dessert Table
Your dessert table and wedding cake offer the perfect canvases for showcasing your beloved little critters. Artists on Etsy offer an array of cake toppers that are handmade to look exactly like your pets. Plus, local cookie artists can help craft dog and cat-themed treats for your guests to enjoy during the wedding or as a take-home favor.
Finally, you can even package up bones for the dogs at home. Your pup-owning friends and fam will absolutely swoon over the addition.
Pets On Paper
Beyond bar signs, you can put photos and references to your pet on literally anything and everything. From welcome signs, seating charts, and display photos to placecards, wedding stationery, table numbers, and photo booth props, there are endless items on which you can print your pet.
