How to Include Your Furry Friends in Your Event

Throwing a memorable event isn’t just about the decor and food; it’s also about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone, including our four-legged pals! We’re excited to share our tips on how to make your event a pet-friendly paradise. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday bash, or corporate shindig, pets can add a special touch to the celebration. So, let’s dive into the world of pets and parties!

Scout Out a Pet-Friendly Venue

First things first, you need a venue that welcomes wagging tails. Outdoor spaces are the ideal location for including your furry friends. Having a marquee event is perfect for accommodating pets while providing a cozy space for everyone. Just make sure to chat with your venue provider about your furry friends’ plans to ensure they’re on board.

Before you invite pets, you may need to do some research on any local pet event regulations. Some places might have rules like leashes or clean-up stations. Knowing the venues regulations will help to avoid any problems on the big day.

Bark It from the Rooftops

Once you’ve decided to go pet-friendly, make it known! Let your guests know in your invites or event announcements that their pets are welcome to join the party. Share any pet-specific info they need to know, so everyone can come prepared.

Remember, not everyone’s head over heels for hounds. Be considerate of guests with allergies or pet fears by marking areas where pets aren’t allowed. Keeping everyone’s comfort in mind.

Create Pet Party Zones

Make sure your event space has designated areas that are paw-sitively perfect for pets. Think water stations, poop bag stations, and shaded spots for our furry pals to chill. Separating the pet-friendly zones from pet-free areas ensures everyone has a blast.

Fetch a Pet Coordinator

Consider having a pet coordinator or pet-sitting service on hand to keep things running smoothly. These pet experts can handle any unexpected doggie dramas and make sure your pets are comfy and content, allowing you to focus on having a howling good time.

We recommend ‘Woofs & Weddings’ the expert wedding day dog chaperone service. Your dog’s ‘plus one’ for the day, offering one on one care for your VIPs (very important pet) throughout your day. Alongside this they can provide training sessions for your pooch to walk down the aisle with you!

Even the calmest of canines can get a bit jittery at a bustling bash. Be ready with a pet first-aid kit and contact info for local vets, just in case. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to our furry friends!

Capture the Fur-tastic Moments

Pets can steal the spotlight at any event with their adorable antics. Hire a pet photographer or have a friend designated as the “pet paparazzi” to snap pics of the cuteness overload. You’ll treasure these snapshots of furry fun forever!

Including pets in your event is like sprinkling some extra joy and laughter into the mix. With a little prep and a lot of love, you can create a pet-friendly atmosphere that makes your celebration even more memorable. Whether it’s a fancy wedding or a casual get-together, don’t hesitate to invite pets to the party – they’ll bring a whole lot of tail-wagging happiness to the occasion! So, here’s to paws, partying, and making unforgettable memories with our furry friends! 🐾🎉
