Finishing Touches: Puppy Love

Today’s post is going to the dogs! Sometimes our pups become a member of the family which is why some couples can’t imagine not including their dog in the wedding.  Whether serving as the ring bearer or just being there to calm your nerves, we found some inspirational images to give you ideas on how to invite your furry friend.  Just keep in mind, if you do want your dog at the wedding to check with your venue first and assign someone not in the wedding party to look after your dog. If animals at your wedding are out of the question for your location, consider taking your dog along for engagement photos.

Another way to include your pup without her actually being there is to use her photo in your graphic elements, on invites or thank you cards, or even table names.  We love the idea of taking a photo of your dog holding the table numbers or simply placing a framed image near your escort cards.
