5 Reasons I Love Adding Pets to Wedding Stationery
One of the most delightful aspects of designing bespoke wedding stationery is incorporating personal details that reflect a couple’s unique story. Over the years, I’ve noticed one addition always brings a smile—being asked to include a beloved pet, often a dog or cat, into the design. There’s something so heartwarming and unique about weaving these furry companions into the visual elements of a wedding, and here’s why it’s a joy to do so.
A Reflection of Family
For many couples, pets aren’t just animals but family members. They’ve shared countless moments with you—maybe even witnessed your engagement! Including your pet in your wedding stationery makes them part of your special day, if they can’t physically be there. It’s a lovely way to acknowledge their meaningful role in your lives together.
A Touch of Unique Character
Every couple is different, and so is every pet. Whether your pet is a mischievous little rascal or a calm, loyal companion, incorporating their image into your stationery adds a wonderful and memorable layer of personality to your design. It adds character and charm, making your stationery feel uniquely yours.
A Symbol of Shared Life
Many couples bond over their love for animals, and pets often symbolise shared care and responsibility. Including them in the design of your wedding stationery can be a subtle nod to this bond and the life you’re building together.
A Sentimental Keepsake
Our wedding stationery invariably becomes a treasured keepsake for our clients, something beautiful that couples hold dearly as a reminder of their special day. When your pet is a part of that design, it transforms the stationery into a sentimental piece that will forever remind you of their role in this chapter of your life.
A Fun Design Element
From watercolour illustrations of a dog or cat wearing a floral collar to cute paw prints trailing across the RSVP card, pets allow for a lot of fun and creative freedom. And it doesn’t just stop at dogs and cats! I’d be absolutely delighted to illustrate any beloved pet into your design. It’s always a joy to bring pet personalities to life through the strokes of a paintbrush.
