Pets and Your Wedding Paper

Including pets in your wedding day is becoming far more common then you might imagine. For many people, pets are not just pets they've become members of the family. Folks are finding lots of fun and unique ways to involve their furry four-legged friends in their big day. Including your pets also helps to personalize the experience for guests, offering a glimpse into a little bit of your home life.

Here are some recent web finds that might help with inspiration and pet logistics:

• Huffpost Weddings: Wedding Pets
• NYT Weddings and Celebrations: A New Breed of Ring Bearers Trot Down The Aisle
• Wedding Pets: Should I Really Include My Dog In My Wedding?
• Pinterest: Dogs in Weddings

One way to include pets into your wedding festivities is right from the start--- the wedding invitation. These invites below by Lily & June Designs give us a clue that the happy couple might have one (maybe two) Boston Terriers at home.

Creating an invitation that gives a nod to your pet is a great way to include your furry family member even if they can't make the event.
