Ways to Incorporate Your Cat in Your Wedding

We often see dog parents including or incorporating their pups on their wedding day. But what about our furry felines? In this blog, we have compiled some unique ways to incorporate your cat into your big day!

1) Have your cat attend the ceremony/reception

If you have a cat who can tolerate leaving the house, wearing a leash or harness, and being around a group of people, then a great option would be to have them attend your wedding! You will have many creative options for including them- from walking them down the aisle, having them as a ring bearer or flower girl, or just having them there for photos or cocktail hour. If this is something you are considering, just be sure your venue is pet-friendly, your guest count isn’t too high, and you hire a wedding pet attendant.

Please remember your cat’s comfort should be your number one priority and you should never force them to participate.

2) Have your cat attend your “getting ready” process

You know your cat well, and maybe attending the wedding isn’t the best option- for mine, it wasn’t. On my wedding day, my bridal party and I got ready in my home where my cats spent time with us on the morning of our big day. I also asked my photographer to get photos of them as well. Even if you are not getting ready at your home, a pet-friendly Airbnb or your pet-friendly venue with a suite for getting ready may be the perfect way to include your cat!

3) Incorporate your cat into your wedding vows

Some cats may not want to be involved at all, we get that too! Therefore, incorporating them into your wedding vows could be a loving way to include your cat in your wedding ceremony! It can be a sweet, romantic way to promise to commit to caring for your furry feline together with the same lifelong love and commitment you are going to give to one another!

4) Get a personalized cat cake topper

Getting a personalized cat cake topper is a unique way to include your cat in your wedding day celebration without having them be there as well! There are endless ideas and inspirations that you can consider for cat wedding cake topper options. It can be one of the best and most subtle ways to include your cat in your wedding day celebration while adding a loveable touch of animals, without going overboard!

5) Serve signature cocktails named after your cat

Lastly, you can add a special touch and include a likeness of your favorite kitty to your wedding cocktail list! You will find plenty of inspiration for this unique idea on Etsy, where they make custom pet portraits and signs similar to the one shown!
