- The gifts must be practical items they can use after the wedding. For instance, sunglasses, ties, bracelets, etc.
- The gifts must also be safe for children.
- To ensure you don’t stretch your budget for proposals and wedding day gifts, opt for thoughtful but inexpensive items.
Bonus: If A Dog Is Your Ring Bearer
Many pets make weddings memorable. But dogs are the easiest to manage because of their reliable nature. However, there are things to consider in preparing your dog for the big day. Ensure that your dog knows their roles and they don’t have issues with being in a crowd. Also, be sure that they are trained well and patient to handle a long day without getting restless or frightened.
On the other hand, there is nothing more beautiful than our furry pets in costume. So regardless of your wedding theme, ensure your dog is comfortable. You can fit them with a suit, tux, designer collar, floral collar, or bow tie. Some couples may let their dogs carry the rings to the altar, but a safer alternative is tying fake rings to the collar. This way, the dogs show up as the ring bearer, while your rings are safe with your best man.
