If you’ve stumbled across this blog post, you’re likely interested in incorporating animals into your wedding day! If you’re in the process of planning your wedding, congratulations! This is such an exciting milestone in your life. From picking the perfect venue to choosing the food, selecting attire, and more, there are no doubt a lot of decisions to be made prior to the event.

In this blog post, we’re going to cover a few different animals that you can incorporate into your wedding day. We hope you enjoy reading!

Now, let’s dive into some of the animals you can incorporate into your wedding day! 

Bring Your Pet!

If you’re a pet owner, you likely want your pal to be a part of your wedding day. Let’s face it, for many, pets are like family! Whether it’s a dog, a cat, an iguana, or a snake (gulp), you can have them on your guest list. From taking photos together to having your pet play a special role in the ceremony, there are plenty of ways to include your pet in the fun. Just make sure to have a person designated to care for your pet, as you will likely be preoccupied! 

If you love your pet dearly but only want them there in spirit, consider having a signature cocktail drink served on their behalf! Or, you can have a customized cake topper designed to look like them and your spouse! Other fun ideas include giant cardboard cut out of their sweet face, printing your pal on the ceremony programs, or even just some adorable photos scattered throughout the venue such as the entrance and the bathrooms!

Butterfly Release 

Want to have an unforgettable ceremony? End your “I do’s” with a butterfly release! Believe it or not, when you work with reputable businesses such as the Butterfly Release Company, the insects are not harmed in any way. “The butterflies are lovingly hand placed into individual envelopes, then placed in a white carnation box.” Upon release, the wedding butterflies will fly to nearby flowers and plants. Often a few of the released butterflies will land on the bride’s bouquet or even land on a few of the guests – which people enjoy. The butterflies will perpetuate naturally and instinctively repopulating their dwindling numbers in our environment.” How fun! 

Ride Into The Sunset 

Want some unbelievable portraits of you and your beloved? Sunset, aka golden hour, is definitely a time on your wedding day that you’ll want to schedule photos with your partner. If you want to take things to the next level, consider having a horse join the fun. You’ll have breathtaking and unique wedding photos as you and your spouse ride off into the sunset! 

Alpacally Ever After

If you want a grand entrance that is over the top, consider booking a pair of alpacas for your event! Our dear friends at Texas Party Animals, treat their alpacas with so much love and care. Your guests will be shocked at the surprise and will love taking photos with them! Alpacas can be dressed to impress and match any theme. They are such cute and unique additions to any celebration! 

Donkey Bartenders 

Ever heard of a donkey serving a cold one? We have! Flower-adorned beer burros are a great addition to your wedding party! With baskets on their backs, guests will love self-serving a beer while taking advantage of an awesome photo op! The experts at Texas Hill Country Events are happy to provide donkeys for your celebration! 

Texas Hill Country Events says “The bottom line is we love what we do! This isn’t just a job to us; it is a career that we take great pride in. We absolutely love planning the next grandiose event and that is apparent in our consultations, as we get excited about brainstorming with you to hone in on the exact theme and style of your event.”

Parade The Heard 

After the ceremony, consider having a parade around your venue! Have a mariachi band lead the way, give your guests props, and dance throughout the grounds of the venue! Include animals such as donkeys, horses, goats, or alpacas in on the fun. This is a great way to get everyone excited for the party to start, and the photos will be an incredible keepsake! 

Bouquet Alternatives 

Want to help support a local pet adoption shelter? Contact one of your local shelters and ask them to bring pets who need homes! This is a great way to spice up an outdoor cocktail hour, and your guests might leave with more than the typical party favor!
