Ways to Incorporate Your Pet's Portrait Into Your Wedding!

Your fiancé may be the love of your life, but I bet your pet is a very close second!

As you probably know, I am a huge dog lover, so I know how important it is to include your pet in your big day. Pet portraits are one of my favorite things to create and it’s such a fun and easy way to make them a part of such a special time in your life.

It’s also an investment that stretches beyond your wedding day. Portrait pricing starts at $250 for watercolor and $100 for linework - and you get the original painting or print of linework to keep!

Here are a few ways you can incorporate your pet’s portrait into your wedding day.

1. On your RSVP Card or Details Card

Adding a sketch or portrait of your pet on your invitation suite adds a personalized touch and tells your guests just how important your pet is in your lives.

2. Napkins

Have your pet be the topic of conversation at cocktail hour! Line drawings are perfect for foil-stamped napkin designs and watercolor portraits look beautiful printed on crisp white napkins!

3. Drink Signs

Let your pet be the face of your signature drinks or bar menu! Everyone will be sure to see them as they make their way to the bar for cocktail hour. Go with a classic paper sign or a line drawing on Acrylic for a more modern and sleek wedding vibe.

4. Thank You Card Envelopes

Have your pet help you say thanks to all of your guests! Add their portrait to the card itself or the envelope design.

5. Wine Labels

Wine not? These wine labels can be used as table numbers, wedding favors, shower favors, etc.

6. Miscellaneous Favors

Are you thinking of having favors for your guests? This is also a great way to incorporate your pet’s portrait. I absolutely love the idea this couple had - putting their dog’s portrait on matchbooks for guests to bring home with them!
