For many couples, there's no question that their furry friend will be a key part of the wedding to make the occasion even more meaningful and special. There are myriad creative ways to include your beloved dog in your wedding, from dressing them up in a charming bow tie or floral collar to designating them as the official ring bearer, proudly trotting down the aisle with the all-important rings.
Today we're sharing five adorable ways to honor your beloved canine companion in your wedding day, from custom signage and wedding favors to cake toppers and bar accessories. Weaving your dog into the fabric of your wedding day brings a playful touch to the day and makes it even more personal to you as a couple.
1. Feature your dog in your wedding stationery
Incorporating your beloved pooch into your wedding is a delightful and meaningful way to celebrate the special bond you share. Featuring your dog on your wedding stationery, such as save-the-date cards, invitations, or programs, allows you to showcase your furry friend's endearing presence in your life and commemorate their role in your union.
We know your wedding invitations instantly set the tone of your event, so the addition of your dog's image instantly imbues the paper goods with a sense of warmth, personality, and the joy that your four-legged family member brings to your relationship. Consider a charming hand-drawn illustration or photograph of your pup or for a more playful approach, include your dog's paw print or silhouette.
2. Include your dog in wedding day signage
Incorporating your beloved canine companion into your wedding day signage is a delightful way to make them a cherished part of your special celebration. From a charming 'Dog of Honor' sign leading the processional to a whimsical 'Here Comes the Bride...and the Pup!' banner, there are countless creative options to showcase your four-legged family member. Beyond the ceremony, you can continue the theme with welcome signs, guest directions or seating plans and escort card displays that feature an illustration of your furry friend.
3. Dog wedding cake toppers
Dog wedding cake toppers are a charming and whimsical addition to any couple's special day. Miniature figurines of your beloved canine companions will look adorable on your cake and serve as a cute memento to cherish long after the wedding day has passed.
Whether the dog is sitting obediently, wagging its tail in excitement, or striking a dashing pose in a tiny tuxedo or bridal veil, these delightful toppers bring a touch of furry, four-legged joy to the wedding festivities. Consider a toy dog figure like the great range from Schleich; a custom-made model from a maker on Etsy, or even ask your cake maker to craft an edible pooch from fondant icing.
4. Dog-themed bar accessories
Dog-themed bar accessories are a whimsical way to incorporate your beloved furry companion into your wedding day. Custom-made drinks stirrers and napkins printed with an illustration of your pooch are a playful touch, while naming a cocktail after them makes a fun conversation starter.
Dog-themed wedding favors
Dog-themed wedding favors are a lovely way to incorporate your beloved canine companions into your special day. From cute paw print-shaped cookies or candies to custom matchboxes or koozies (beer can wraps), the options are endless when it comes to crafting the perfect doggy-inspired favor. Beyond the traditional options, creative couples may opt for more unique ideas such as custom-designed coasters, keychains, or wine stoppers featuring an illustration or photo of your beloved pooch.
