Your dog is part of the family, so of course you want them at the wedding. But then the questions start: who walks them between the ceremony and dinner? Where do they wait during the vows? Can the kids pet them? A digital invitation for a wedding with pets can settle all of this before the day arrives. You can create and send one today from the catalogue.

Instead of chasing answers on WhatsApp, you can put the dog's schedule, their spot, and the rules for kids right inside the invitation. Everyone sees the same details, and you get replies in one place.

How a digital invitation for a wedding with pets sorts out the day

Start by naming the dog on the cover or in a scene. For example: 'Luna comes with us; Marta walks her from the ceremony to the toast.' That way, nobody asks you on WhatsApp. Use the RSVP to ask who can walk Luna between the ceremony and dinner, and see the answers in an ordered list. If the dog isn't coming, say it in a scene: 'Luna stays home with the dog sitter; we'll see you at 6 pm.'

  • Name the dog on the cover or in a scene: 'Luna comes with us; Marta walks her from the ceremony to the toast.'
  • Use the RSVP to ask: 'Who can walk Luna between the ceremony and dinner?' and see answers in an ordered list.
  • If the dog isn't coming, say it in a scene: 'Luna stays home with the dog sitter; we'll see you at 6 pm.'
  • Add a photo of Luna so guests know which dog to look for and who's walking her.

Where the dog waits and how kids can say hello

Mark on the invitation's map the shady spot by the side door of the church or the garden bench, so whoever walks the dog knows exactly where to go. Add a photo of the real corner: a lead hanging on a chair, a folding bowl in a corner, or a towel next to the fountain. Guests see where to leave the dog without asking. If there's a terrace cocktail, write a specific line: 'Luna will be tied by the terrace railing during the cocktail.' Better a fact than a guess.

For kids who want to pet the dog, include a friendly and specific line: 'Luna loves having her back stroked, but she doesn't like hugs; please ask Marta first.' Fix a time to meet the dog: 'At 7:30 pm, before the banquet, Luna will be in the patio for hellos and photos.' If there are many children, add a small mission: 'Find Luna in the garden; whoever pets her with permission chooses their favourite photo of the wedding.' That way they approach calmly.

How to create digital wedding invitations with pets that update themselves

If the ceremony time changes or the dog's waiting spot moves, you edit the digital invitation and the link stays the same. Guests see the new version without you resending anything. You can swap the cover photo for one of the dog with the lead or change the line 'Luna joins us' without reprinting or sending envelopes. Guests open the link on their phone and reply there; no app needed. If someone wants paper, combine the link for everyone with a few printed copies for those who'll keep them. Sort out who walks the dog, where they wait, and the rules for kids in one digital invitation. Create yours today.
