I would LOVE it but what about your guests that don't have pets? Or are you certain that everyone has a pet? I think it's an awesome idea.
I would, I love my dogs, but I am not sure about it unless everyone has a pet, like @Talisha said.
To honor our fur baby we are planning on using the adopt a shelter pet stamp that is coming out on rsvp cards.
I think favours should reflect who you are as a couple and who your guests are. Therefore, if your guests all have pets, then I think this is a fantastic idea.
@MsMarzipan - We're doing the same for our STD's! I agree that you need to consider how many of your guests have pets.
These would be in addition to our favors for our guests. I just don't want people to go "Oh how cute!" but not take them! Some of my family members work for animal rescue organizations, and lots of friends have pets. I think they'd love it but don't want to get stuck with a project that goes unnoticed? Do I put them with the regular favors? We're doing a candy buffet. Maybe on a seperate table, next to candy table?
If it's an edible treat, just be sure to make it clear to guests that it's for their pet not for their consumption. Tasting one accidentally would be an unpleasant surprise!
We have 3 dogs and I like the idea. I've never heard of that before, but any pet lovers would think it was great.
I'm very careful about what my cats eat because they both have sensitive tummies, so I would not take the treats, but I think it's a cute idea, and I know most people aren't so careful about what their animals eat as I am.
I would only because I have animals. What about the people who do not have fur babies?
I think it's a great idea. I was a little concerned about people without pets but I read your posts that said these are in addition. I would certainly take them home and give them to my fur babies.
I would totally take them home to my pup! It would probably make me feel less bad about leaving him to go party : )
Ok...here it is. We had zip lock bags with 2 milkbones in each. We found red and white paw print ribbon (matched our wedding colors) and tied a bow around each one. (The two cards on either side are something else)
Edit: The sign says "Our Mommy and Daddy Got Married! Please Bring Treats Home to our Friends!"
And people without dogs also got a kick out of it. And they didn't feel left out, since we had (human) favors, a candy buffet, and a donation to the ASPCA in addition to these.

like others said, i would feel weird for the people who don't have pets. they might feel a little jipped. also, my dog has a very sensitive tummy so we're picky about his food.
but you know your guests best so if you think they'd like it i'd go for it!
Just make sure that people KNOW they're for their pets & not for them!! I've seen dog treats that look just like human cookies. And, I've played pranks on friends & they've tried eating them. So just be forewarned ;). However, I think its very cute & I would take them for my dog :).
I think it's fine so long as it's not the only favor. You need to consider your guests that don't have animals.
We made a donation to a local animal shelter rather than have favors for our guests. I love what heathaah did! An additional favor offered to the side would be a cute idea and wouldn't single out those without pets.
I like the fact that its a unique gift! I'd probably enjoy it. But are you sure that all of your guests have animals? Or that you'd be able to give the right kinda treat to each animal? Like if your Uncle only has a dog but your friend has a cat, you'd need to give the right animal treat. Also, I'm really picky about the kind of food/treats my animals have, I don't like when there's animal biproduct in it. Am I being difficult? Sorry!
Thanks ladies! Yeah, we went through our guest list and about 85% have pets. This would be in addition to the "human" favors. Everyone knows how much we love our babies.
plus like Moose 1209 said, I feel guilty for leaving them!
I love heathaah's idea of having a framed pic of our kids and a cute little note.
We're pretty picky about treats so they would be organic, tummy-safe, etc.
Thanks for the good advice!
I think this is an AWESOME idea! Where were you a year ago when I was getting married?!?! 
i think as long as you include something for the non-pet owners it would be cool.
I think this is a lovely idea, I would be honoured to receive a gift for my pets. You know what it's like when someone does something nice for your pet, you automatically think they must be a really good person ;-)
I LOVE the idea however, I'd probably leave them there because both of our dogs have allergies and most treats make them itchy or sick :( I'll rephrase this, I would still take them and probably try and sneak them to my doggies. My FI would tell me not to because it will make them sick...theeeen I'd do the one won't hurt thing and then they'd be itchy and he'd do the I told you so dance. Lol sorry for the long rant. To close, it is an adorable idea :).
Love this idea! If you don't have pets-would you really care that there were treats for people who did?? I doubt it! I was thinking of doing doggy bags with some of the extra food but I can't see asking my caterer to do that, so I love this idea...done in advance, no mess, sweet treat!
And if I do have pet favor leftover we'll donate them to the local shelter. So even if they don't all get taken I feel good about where they are going.
Ok, decision made...I'm totally doing them!!
Many people don't have pets so they will be either weirded out or feel left out. Offer something edible for your guests to consume themselves or else skip favors entirely.
Weddings are for people, not pets! Sorry, but I would not like this. (And I LOVE animals!) It just seems, odd and not too classy.
Love this idea. And if you happen to be stuck with some leftover treats I am sure your pets won't mind. =)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
We LOVE our pets ( 1 giant dog and 2 cats) and I'm thinking about doing pet favors. Is this weird? All of our friends, family are animal lovers as well. I was thinking about wrapping up doggie treats (and kitty treats )in a clear bag with ribbon. Some kind of cute tag saying "from our 'kids' to yours".
My question is: If you were a guest at a wedding would you take these favors for your pets? Or are we going to be stuck with a bunch of cat and dog treats?!
