What you say! Well, my son adores his dog "Dora"and since I'm having my sons wedding rehearsal dinner at an outdoor cafe that allows dogs...... I'm going to have a Puppy Bar!
The invitations will say that puppies are welcome. I'll have a table set up with doggie treats and take home bags full of doggie goodies
Dora, my sons rescue dog, will be the dog hostess
Here she is on the candle for the doggie table, I used a waterslide decal
I was thrilled when I stumbled on these directions for printing on lunch bags, it's not as easy as you would think and saved me lots of time. This could be used for tons of different events.
After I printed on the bags I glued on scottie dogs I found at a thrift store...Lucky find!
Then used a hole punch and twine
More dogs for a table banner
And jars of treats for my furry guests, (some graphics are from Graphics Fairy)
Along with special Dog water LOL!
My son adores his dog and is so happy Dora gets to come to the rehearsal dinner......
.......Now if he could just get her invited to the wedding!
Ah, come on Alicia (Future DIL).....Flower girl??
Happy Crafting!

What? He doesn't have her trained to walk down the aisle with the rings yet, Carol? : ) Love your ideas. Those are too cute. I also love hearing that you can print on those lunch bags. That would have made getting my lunch ready in the morning a bit more enjoyable {when I was working}.
Thanks to the link to print the paper bags. I have been wanting to try that for a long time. You sure scored with the Scottie dogs. Very cute. I totally love that you are including the dogs at the rehearsal dinner. Fabulous idea.
Carol, I loved this post! I just got back from a wedding in the Keys and the bride & groom's dog participated in the wedding. Sammy, an Austrailian Shepherd, was wearing a doggie tux shirt complete with dog bone motifs. He was so adorable and so well mannered!
Such a wonderful idea, everyone loves their dogs and the doggies will love you for this! clever you, everything looks so cute!
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
I think she would be a fantastic flower girl!!
How neat an idea! And yes she would make an adorable flower girl ... c'mon Alicia!!!
Have a fabulous day ~

You are just to clever!! Well you know Carol, Dora could always go as your Date!! ;)
Huggs,Nancy
I am sure you could jazz Dora up in the proper attire!!
How clever! I was chuckling and smiling the entire I read this. I think all doggies would be honored to come to your rehearsal dinner, especially for the great treats. I know mine would!
Betsy
Oh my goodness I just love this idea, so clever and personal
i would love a dinner that included my dog, carol! that is the greatest idea--love the bags and banner!
awww you are having so much fun ! I love that the pups are invited and think Dora looks a dora ble. (())
I see a wedding in Dora's future. Are you planning the outfit! LOL!
What a great idea Carol... You thought of everything! A Doggie Bar is probably the first and I think you should patent it.
Love the doggie bags, how cute!!!! The rehersal dinner party, the reception and the wedding are going to be beautiful.

So cute Carol! You are working hard.
My Thrift Store?!
That is an adorable idea, and I love everything you've done. You are so much a woman after my own heart. I just love things that are outside the box and carried to a theme. This is perfect.
I'm going to enjoy being your wedding peeper.
You know I am such a animal lover--I love all this! The water slide decal of the dog is great!
YES, I think she should be a "flower girl"!!!
Very sweet that you are having a "doggy bar" LOL!!!
I think Sweet Pea would love to come and have a treat or two! You sure are making this wedding FUN!Maybe Jackson Brown too!
Warmly,
deb
Cuuuute! I love the theme! How cute is that? You guys will have a blast! :D
Hugs,
That is sooo sweet! Love it!
Dora is a cutie! Wow, you are going all out! I think Dora is going to have a blast! I love the doggie bags! What a neat idea. Very original to have a doggie area ant the rehearsal dinner! Pictures please!!!
Blessings,
Susie
LOL- I see Dora as a Ring Bearer!;>) Love the theme and all the neat things you came up with-what fun- xo Diana
Very clever, Carol. I will have to try the paper bag idea. Very good. Doggies are very much a part of the family. I think Dora would be a good participant at the wedding.

Love the fabric doggie cutouts! Can see the possibilities for other themes, too. :-)
Just discovered your blog....it is just gorgeous ! Loving those 'doggy bags' ! lol

Oh My Gosh Carol. You are super clever and thoughtful. A Doggy Bar! Your treat bags and jars are just the "cats meow" (sorry I don't know a dog phrase). How fortunate to find the fabric dogs at the thrift store. I had to pay big dollars for some at KeepsakeQuilting.com
I really like Dora's fur collared coat she is sporting.
You are genius dear...
That is just adorable! I love all the doggy goodness, it's going to lighten the mood and add a fun touch to the celebration. So creative! We'd love to have you share it at the link party.
Hugs,
Patti

So adorable......my goodness theres no better flower girl than her....our little man is such a sweetheart at 5 weeks he should still be with his mother, I'm just glad we were able to rescue him...now I just want the rest of them safe!

How sweeeet is this!?! What a kind and generous addition for your son's life and memory.
How cute! Our German Sheppherd wore a rose wreath around his neck- on our wedding day- but he couldn't come to the church either ;()

You don't know how happy this makes me! I think doggies should be at the wedding...if not all, then Dora for sure! :)
