For some couples, their pets are as much a part of the family as any human member. But if you and your fiancé have a pet that cannot attend the ceremony, it can be difficult to find ways to include them in your wedding day. Here are some creative ideas that will help you incorporate your beloved pet into your wedding without having to bring them along.

Cake Topper

If you’d like to include a representation of your furry friend on top of the wedding cake, there are a few fun ways to do so. If you have the time and resources, commissioning an artist to make a custom cake-topper sculpture is one way to go. There are also plenty of websites where you can order pre-made cake-toppers with images or figures that look just like your pet! You may even be able to find one with your pet’s breed already made. This is an easy and cost effective way to make sure that your furry family member is still part of the celebration.

Name Custom Cocktails After Them

Few things say “celebration” like a signature cocktail at the reception! Give yours a special touch by naming it after your pet. You could use their name directly, or come up with something else inspired by them (like “Pawsitively Perfect Punch”). Whether it’s their favorite treat or a special nickname they had growing up, this small gesture will honor them while keeping everyone in high spirits on your big day.

Photo of Them

Displaying photos of your furry friend around the reception area or at each table is an easy way to make sure they’re still part of the celebration without having them actually present. If there aren’t many other decorations at the venue, it would be especially nice for guests to see photos of you and your partner with your cherished pet.

Bring Them With You

If you consider your pet to be a full-fledged family member, then you may have considered bringing them to your wedding. How could you possibly celebrate without them? Thankfully, it’s not as difficult as you might think! With the right preparation and planning, it’s totally possible to not just include your pet in the wedding details, but to actually have them there WITH you!
