Having your fur-babe with you on your Big Day can be incredibly comforting! After all, they are with you every other day, so why not on your BIG day!?!?  We've got a great list of ways to incorporate your pup into your wedding:


1. Pup Greeter

Who better to welcome your guests than the happiest one in the room?? Assign a family friend or junior wedding party attendant to assist your pup greeter at the entrance!


2. Flower pup

Have your pup walk down the aisle by themselves or with your human flower girl… this is always a great way to include a flower girl/guy if you don't have children in your family. Plus, they are always so excited to be part of the big moment!

3. Ring Bearer / Paw Patrol

Having paw patrol on site to protect the rings is always a safe way to go! Suit them up in a bow-tie collar and you can even attach the rings to their collar too!


4. Surprise paw-tner!

Want to know what the best wedding gift ever is??? Surprising your fiancé with your beloved pet on wedding day. Have them deliver a cute message via a sign hung from their collar too! The look on their face will be priceless!

5. Social hour Guest of Honor

In place of a celebrity guest appearance, have your paw-tner serve as the guest of honor during social/cocktail hour! Your guests will be delighted by a little furry hello!

6. Walk back down the aisle with your pup

After you say your I dos, grab your pup’s leash and walk back down the aisle as the family you are! 


7. Family Photos

After all, you're all an official family now right!? This is a great option fur more anxious pups. Have them brought on-site for just a short period so your photographer can snap some of the best pics and sweetest moments while making sure not to overwhelm your dog.
