4 vendor scripts · 7 backup plans · 8-tab spreadsheet

For couples who want their pet IN the wedding — not just photographed at it.

81% of engaged couples plan to include their pet in the wedding. About a third want a real planning tool, not another Pinterest board of dogs in tuxes. The wedding industry sells outfits and place cards. This kit is built for the actual hard parts — getting the venue's yes in writing, briefing the officiant on a pet ring bearer contingency, planning what happens if the handler cancels two weeks out.

Why another outfit guide does not get the day right

Pinterest gave you the bow tie. Nobody gave you the venue script.

Etsy outfit listings do not negotiate contracts

A bow tie does not get the venue to put pet permission in writing. The day a 'pets fine' verbal promise becomes a problem is the day a guest's car gets scratched.

Pinterest boards do not write vendor emails

You have seen the dog-in-tux photos. You have not seen the officiant briefing on what happens if your pet bolts during the processional, or the photographer brief on tired-signal stop protocol.

There is no template for the handler texting at 11pm Friday

'I can't make it.' Two weeks out. ChatGPT cannot write the first-five-minute decision tree. We did the relational engineering for you.

What this kit does that no outfit guide can

Built for the parts Pinterest does not show.

01

A plan, not a Pinterest board

Structured planning system — 4 vendor communication scripts (Venue · Officiant · Photographer · Allergic Guest) + per-pet Day-of Timeline + 4-time-point Health Pre-flight + Cost Tracker + Mobile Quick Reference for the handler's pocket. Etsy sells outfits. We build the project.

02

The 4 conversations couples skip

Get the Venue Pet Clause in Writing · Brief the Officiant on Ring Bearer Contingency · Photographer Pet Brief (Shots + Safety + Social) · Allergic Guest Pre-Event Disclosure. Each script gives opener, core ask, fallback, paste-ready email template, and notes.

03

Backup plans for the 7 things that actually go wrong

Pet sick morning of · Pet bolts · Aggressive incident · Handler no-show · Weather extreme · Venue last-minute policy change · Allergic guest acute reaction. Each trigger gets a first-5-min decision tree: Assess → Stabilize → Decide → Communicate.

Part of IfShe Wedding Planning

Made by the team designing your wedding jewelry.

This kit sits inside the ifshe Wedding Planning collection — alongside engagement rings, couples pieces, and the keepsake jewelry made by the same studio. The full wedding jewelry studio is one click away once you have the pet portion planned.

Questions before you download

A few things people ask first.

Is this just for dogs?

No. The kit works for any pet you're including: dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds. The Pet Profile (Tab 2 in the spreadsheet, Section 1 in the PDF) is species-agnostic. The vendor scripts use [pet name] placeholders. The backup decision trees address pet-generic scenarios (sick, bolts, aggressive) that apply across species. Horses have one additional logistics layer (transport + tack + handler experience) that the kit doesn't cover in depth — for equestrian weddings, we recommend supplementing with a horse-specific event planner.

How many pets does the kit support?

Up to 3 pets per file. Pet Profile (Section 1) has 3 slots, Vendor Communication Status board (Tab 3) handles 4 vendors × 3 pets = 12 asks tracked. For 4+ pets, the kit recommends copying the file per pet group (e.g., one file for the two dogs, another for the cat). Most pet-inclusion weddings have 1-2 pets; the 3-pet cap covers ~95% of cases.

My venue says no pets — does this kit help?

Sometimes. The Venue Script (Section 2 Vendor #1) is designed for the common case where a venue says no pets by default but will negotiate for ceremony-only inclusion with a written clause. If your venue is firm — pet allergies among existing staff, religious or cultural prohibition, regulatory restriction — the kit cannot help override that. You'd need a different venue. The kit can help you screen venues at the booking stage with the right questions.

My pet has never been to a wedding-like event — is one event ready?

It depends. The Health Pre-flight Checklist (Section 5) includes desensitization steps starting 8 weeks out: crate / carrier desensitization, sound desensitization (music genre playing low during meals), outfit / leash trial. If your pet is reactive to crowds, loud sounds, or strangers, work with a trainer in parallel. The kit gives logistics structure, not behavioral training. Some pets are not good wedding candidates — and the kit's first piece of advice in the Honesty Box is: if you'll only use this as decoration, an Etsy outfit guide will serve you better.

Will my workbook content stay private?

Yes. The PDF and spreadsheet are downloaded directly to your device. Nothing is synced to any cloud, nothing is emailed to ifshe, nothing is analyzed. Pet contact info, vet records, handler details — all stay on your device.

I bought your Wedding Budget Tracker or Vow Workbook or Anxiety Workbook. Is this different enough to add?

Yes — completely different use case. Budget Tracker is for cash. Vow Workbook is for what you'll say at the altar. Anxiety Workbook is for your nervous system. This Pet Planner is for the logistics of one specific guest (with paws). Many couples use Budget Tracker 8-18 months out, Pet Planner 4-12 weeks out (when vendor confirmations and handler hiring is due), and the day-of tools (timeline, handler briefing, backup trees) in the final 2 weeks.

Does this kit guarantee my pet's behavior on the day?

No. We're explicit about this in the Liability Disclaimer (P3) and the FAQ: this kit provides planning framework — vendor scripts, decision trees, handler briefing templates. It does not guarantee pet safety or pet behavior. The 7 Backup Decision Trees are first-5-minute starting points. When in doubt, prioritize pet safety and contact your emergency vet immediately. Pet wellbeing is the priority; the wedding will continue with or without the pet portion.

I'm LGBTQ+ / in an interfaith / blended-family wedding. Will the scripts fit?

Yes. The vendor scripts are written gender-neutral and family-structure-neutral. Partner not fiance, your wedding not the bride's day. Family scenarios in the Backup Decision Trees and Health Pre-flight don't assume traditional household structure. Pet inclusion is independent of the family structure of the wedding.

What's the difference between this and a $7 Etsy dog-at-wedding outfit guide?

Use case. Etsy outfit guides give you outfits and a Pinterest board of inspiration. This kit gives you structured planning: 4 vendor communication scripts (with paste-ready email templates), 7 backup decision trees for what actually goes wrong, day-of timeline templates per pet × per phase, 4-time-point health pre-flight checklist, cost tracker with insurance line item, and a Mobile Quick Reference for the handler's pocket. Different products, different audiences — outfit guide is for want cute photo, this kit is for want safe, planned inclusion. If you'd happily use the 7 backup trees, this is for you. If you'd skip the backup trees as overkill, buy the Etsy outfit instead.

Can I get a refund?

Because this is a digital product delivered immediately, all sales are final. Read the description and check the screenshots carefully — reach out at cs@ifshe.com if you have questions before purchasing.

Refunds and UK consumer cancellation rights

By placing the order you agree to immediate access and waive the 14-day cancellation right under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (regulations 28(1)(b) and 36(2)). If the file won't open or you hit a technical issue, email cs@ifshe.com within 24 hours — we'll send a fresh copy or fix it.

A note from the studio

Why we made this.

IfShe Wedding Studio founder portrait

Hi, I'm Beck — I run IfShe, a small jewelry studio designing wedding and personalized pieces for couples across the US and UK.

Most of what we make is jewelry. But every so often we run into the same gap our brides are stuck inside — a part of wedding planning that no tool seems to do well for the modern couple. So we sit down with a few of those brides and build the thing we wished they'd had a year earlier.

This is one of those builds. Made carefully, in the same studio voice as the jewelry, so that everything you get from us reads like one cohesive whole — from the engagement ring through to the planning tools you'll actually use the week before the wedding.

I hope it gives you a calmer head-space for everything else.

— Beck, IfShe Wedding Studio

The wedding lasts one day. The pet is yours every day after.

Plan the kit. Hand the brief to the handler. Be calm on the day.
