Re: Cats

  • Ummmmmm.....I have no idea where to start.

  • This seems like an odd decor choice. Pics of them in the centerpieces?
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • Cake topper? I bet you could find a seller on etsy who will make you a cake topper that looks like your cats. H and I went to a wedding where the bride and groom had a cake topper made in a cartoonish way of them and their two dogs. It was really cute.

    You could also name your table after different types of cats instead of basic table numbers.

  • I like the cake topper idea.

  • How overt do you need/want it to be?  These yarn balls could make for pretty vase filler.....

    Your favors could be cat shaped cookies or candies.

    When I first read this, I thought you actually wanted to use your cats as decoration.  

    That said, cake topper is usually the most "themed" thing I like to see.

    Not really a decoration, but you could attach their tags and/or pictures of them to your bouquet

    Table numbers 'wish you were here' pictures

    Name the tables after your pets and/or include paintings of them:

    Use your kitties' paw prints on place, escort cards, or programs

  • My FI designed all our paper stuff with his graphic designer BIL and hide secret kitties on everything

  • I have a friend who is one of the biggest cat-lovers I know.  I'll ask her what she would do in your situation.

    I ordered a cake topper from Etsy that has a figurine of me and FI and smaller figurines of our 3 cats.  I sent the designer pics and she custom made them to look like us and the cats.

    You could also put a framed picture of you and your cats at the guestbook table.
  • We also have three cats. We are using their images on our bar menu.  We named our signature drinks after them.  Who wouldn't want a Gatito Mojito?

    I also put a small cat on our cake topper--peaking out from under the bride's dress.

    Seriously?  You want to honor your cats?  What difference could it make to them?  Will they know that they are being honored?

    Obviously it doesn't make a difference to the cats, but it makes a difference to the B&G.  For FI and I, our cats are like family to us and a little acknowledgement of that at the wedding (since they will obviously not be there) feels right.
  • I love your idea!!  We have 3 cats also, and are doing the same thing.  We are going to do something along these lines...but without the dog.

    My friend loves dogs and used different dog breeds as table numbers for her reception. I thought it was a cute way to incorporate something important to her. I sat at the "Rottweiler" table.

    *gasp* DH and I totally should have gotten a custom cake topper done with our cats! I love it!

    @crazycatlady3 ROFLMAO! That is HILARIOUS...and ridiculous. 
  • We're doing the same with our dogs. A custom cake topper is always a good choice! We're also probably going to get a picture of the dogs in a tuxedo shirt and a little veil to place somewhere random at the wedding. Love all the couples who want to include their pet family at their wedding!
  • I love that there are so many cute & tasteful ideas on how to incorporate pets into a wedding without having them there. Great thread!!
