If your four-legged friend is part of your family (and let’s be real—they definitely are), then finding a way to include them in your wedding day just makes sense! This week’s #WeddingTipWednesday is for all the animal lovers out there looking for fun, creative, and totally adorable ways to make their pet part of the celebration.

Here are some of our favorite ideas that’ll have your guests swooning—and your pet stealing the show:

🐶 1. Flower Pups & Ring Bearers

Who needs tradition when you’ve got tail wags and puppy eyes? Dress your dog up with a floral collar or tiny tux and let them lead the way down the aisle as a flower pup or ring bearer. It’s the ultimate aww moment.

📸 2. Photo-Op Star

Whether it’s for your engagement shoot, your wedding portraits, or both, including your pet in your photos adds a personal (and seriously cute) touch. They’re part of your love story—capture that!

🎁 3. Pet-Friendly Favors

Send guests home with treats for their own fur babies. Think: custom-labeled dog biscuits, catnip toys, or mini paw balm tins. It’s unexpected, thoughtful, and totally on-brand for pet-loving couples.

🍸 4. Signature Cocktails Inspired by Your Pet

Name your signature drinks after your furry friend—like “Luna’s Lemonade” or “The Wagtail Whiskey Sour.” At our engagement party, we took it up a notch and printed custom cocktail napkins with our dog Luna’s face on them—they were such a hit, guests were sneaking extras into their bags!

Your wedding should reflect who you two are—and if your love story includes a pup, cat, or any other animal companion, let them have their moment to shine.
