How to Include Your Pet in Your Wedding

Your big day isn’t complete without your furry best friend by your side. Whether you want them front and center or subtly woven into the celebration, there are plenty of creative ways to include your pet in your wedding:

Ceremony Roles

  • Ring Bearer or Flower Girl – Let them make their grand entrance down the aisle.

  • Best Man or Maid of Honor – No one’s been by your side quite like they have.

  • Official Witness – In some states, pets can “sign” the marriage license with a paw print (check local laws).

Photo Opportunities

  • First Look with Your Pet – A quiet, memorable moment before the ceremony.

  • Couple and Group Photos – Capture their presence in photos you'll cherish forever.

Reception Highlights

  • Signature Cocktails Named After Them – Think "The Bella Breeze" or "Cooper's Old Fashioned."

  • Custom Napkins or Table Numbers – Add their face, name, or silhouette for a fun personal touch.

  • Pet-Inspired Party Favors – Send guests home with treats or donate to a local rescue in their honor.

Decor & Details

  • Floral Accessories – Add a flower crown, decorative leash, or boutonniere.

  • Cake Toppers & Signage – Incorporate their likeness in your cake or welcome signs.

No matter how you choose to include your pet, we’re here to make sure it’s thoughtful, stress-free, and tailored to you and your pet’s unique bond.
