Planners can even calculate kibble for the special day. But before you decide which tutu slims your bulldog, remember this is was an excellent and clever April Fool’s joke by WeddingWire.com. Disappointed? Instead of planning your pet’s perfect day, envision how you would incorporate them into yours. Here are some ideas:
- Take a photo: Feature them on your Save the Dates. Nothing says happy family, like a couple’s pet grinning as he announces your special day. Use a sign to reveal the date in the photo.
- Walk down the aisle: Have them act as ring bearers and tie the ring around your pet’s neck; let a bridesmaid or groomsman walk (or carry) them down the aisle. Or dress your pets up as bride and groom and have them lead the bridesmaids down the aisle.
- Dress them up for pictures: Specially made bow ties, tiaras, diamond encrusted pet collars, tuxedos, and yes wedding dresses will include them in your festivities and pictures.
- Cake toppers: Cake toppers are usually customized based on hair and skin tone. For pet lovers, have one customized to add your pet at the bride and grooms feet.
Pets don’t have a dedicated wedding planning website, but they are our family. Enjoy incorporating them on your special day.
