Planning a dog-lovers wedding in a national park isn’t easy. You can’t bring your pup on trails unless they’re paved, so what can you do to make them feel included on the wedding day? Read below to learn about 3 easy ways to incorporate your dog into your National Park Wedding without breaking any rules! 

1. Take Pictures With Your Pup in The Parking Lot After The Ceremony (And Tip Your Pup-Sitter!)

If you cannot imagine your wedding day without seeing your pup, have your pet-sitter bring them by for some quick photos in the parking lot! This way your pet will still be in the photos of your special day, but will also be safe and happy with the pet-sitter! After their photo-op, the pet-sitter can take them home and for a walk! Plus, your pup will be so glad to see their humans on their big day!

Finding a pet-sitter can be easy with apps like Wag or Rover! But even many locations have pet-sitters that will come to your Airbnb to watch your pup! This helps majorly with anxiety in the doggos too!

2. Name A Custom Drink After Your Pup

No wedding reception is complete without having a signature drink! Name your signature drink after your pup! Putting the world “The” in front of your dog’s name will allow your to make it sound even fancier! Try this! We used our dogs’ names below to come up with some signature drinks!

The ‘Scout’
A rum and coke with lime garnish
The ‘Finn’
Bourbon bitters, sugar cube, a few dashes on plain water
The ‘Libby’
Sprite, Grenadine, Vodka, and cherries on top
The ‘Dash’
Whiskey, lemon juice, egg white, and sugar

What would your pup’s signature drink be?!

3. Add some details- Think of you pup for all the little details!

The details are such a great way to include your pup in your day! Think about incorporating your doggos in a variety of details during your day! You can still keep it simple and elegant while including them! Here is a list that includes the different ways you can include them in your wedding day details.
