My favorite detail of the event. Lauren and Torrey took their dog around central park and put different numbers on his neck and took pictures. They used the pictures as table numbers for the reception. So cute!

As much as I love my cat Ziggy (pictured below) I think she belongs, and would rather stay, at home. Cat’s tend to hate change and big crowds of people.

On the other hand, one of the biggest things about my company and I, is that Polka Dot Events is all about having a sense of humor. There is no right or wrong way to do things, your big day should be YOUR big day. So if you are the type of pet lover that considers your pet a part of the family and comes with you anywhere they allow the four-legged friends ( a great thing about New York!) why not incorporate the pet in your wedding? It is becoming more and more popular to see weddings where the bride and groom involve their dogs in the wedding party.. so here are my thoughts on that.

There are DEFINITELY some restrictions. No pooch ever belongs at the Waldorf and pretty much do not belong in any indoor venue. Wedding Party Pets belong at casual outdoor weddings where they can run around free (and not have an accident on $50,000 carpeting.) They also should not be fed fillet mignon. Yes Buster will like it but he will also be sick for days while you’re out on the honeymoon. Make sure there is always someone watching the pet and walking him or her when necessary. Also, I would advise against having a cat at the wedding.

Why Not Have a Jinxy Moment?- Remember how Ben Stiller taught the cat Jinxy to bring the engagement ring to Pam in “Meet the Parents?” Maybe you can teach your little guy/girl to either help you propose or even be the ring bearer. Just be sure that your pet is fully trained for the moment, and MAKE SURE THE RING IS NOWHERE NEAR THE MOUTH!! Tie a pillow to the neck or the back.

Making your pet a flower girl (understand that no petals are going to be thrown)
