Few things are cuter than a Great Dane groomsman, a Maltese of honor or a French Bulldog Ring Bearer! Incorporating your pet into your wedding is such a fun and unique way to truly make your day about you (and include every family member.) Whether your tortoise is walking down the aisle or you’re personalized cocktail menu is all about Fluffy, here are some fun ways to incorporate your pet into your wedding:Â
Pet of Honor
Who doesn’t want their best friend included in the wedding day festivities? Having a designated handler walk your pet down the aisle is the easiest way to get ensure viral-worthy wedding photos and entertain your guests — however, it’s very important that you consider whether your pet is up for the job. Ask yourself:
- Does my pet do well with crowds of people?
- Will I be willing to ensure their comfort and safety on top of trying to handle (and enjoy) my wedding?
- Are they trained to be acceptable wedding guests? (Will they avoid barking mid-vows, jumping onto Grandma’s lap to snag a piece of cake and marking their territory on a custom-cathedral length veil?)
You want to be sure your wedding won’t send your pup into a spiral of anxiety – which could really put a damper on your big day.
