Including your dog in your wedding day is such a special experience! It means so much to have them as a part of the wedding day.
While they likely would be happy with any role you choose for them (as long as it includes belly rubs & treats), it can be overwhelming trying to decide where they will fit into the day. A label isn’t exactly necessary, but it’s a great way to ensure they don’t get overlooked on the day of and allows your vendors and guests to know how important their presence is to you.
Here are 5 roles your pet can play on your wedding day!
DOG OF HONOR OR BEST DOG
A big role for a pet that is a big part of your family! Your dog can walk down the aisle with your bridal party or on their own. They will be there to support you and stand by your side as you say your vows of forever.
FLOWER GIRL OR RING BEARER
This will give your pups a big responsibility on the day of. Even if they don’t actually carry the rings or flowers down the aisle, they’ll know they have an important job to do!
GREETER
Imagine showing up to a wedding and being greeted with wags and wiggles; is there anything better!? Allow your pups to be the first thing your guests see as they arrive. We guarantee smiles all around!
ESCORT
For many, their dog is their best friend, and who better to escort you down the aisle than the one you walk through life with. Assigning your dog as an escort to an important person in your ceremony can be a great way to include them. This can even be for the bride or the groom!
ENGAGEMENT PHOTO
It’s not always possible to include your pet in your wedding day, but it doesn’t mean they can’t be a part of the day, still. Include your pup in your save-the-date or engagement photos and let them be the ones to announce the big news!
