Playful Pet Shower for your New Dog

Be sure to read "Pet Party Tips" to help ensure the happiness of your pet and others at the shower.

1. Dog Party Invitations:

• Let guests know that this party is all about showering your dog with fun by sending a Playful Pup Invitation. 

2. Playful Dog Decor and Party Supplies:

• Go from the ground up with your decor so the pups will be able to appreciate the festivities.

• Bring in the "playful" theme by setting out plenty of dog toys on brightly colored picnic blankets. Add an element of fun with a few beach balls around the party space.

• Make sure that all pets have a refreshing bowl of water. Use colorful disposable or travel pet bowls.

3. Dog Treats and Party Favors

• Whip up homemade dog treats as nibblers at the shower or wrap up gourmet dog biscuits to be given as party favors.

• Top off the celebration with a homemade puppy cake or try this recipe for a bacon and chicken flavored dog cake frosted with yogurt that looks like white layer cake. 

• As a party memento, give guest pets custom dog cookies with the new pet's face on it to take home and enjoy.  

• Put together a favor pack with a chewy pig ear and a playful rope toy for guests to take home.

4. For the Peeps at a Dog Party

• Give guests a taste of the "dog's life" with thematic party supplies such as these humorous disposable dog plates and cocktail napkins. 

• Use a cookie cutter shaped like a dog bone to cut out bread for sandwiches or make cookies.

• Buy new dog bowls to serve cookies or snacks in for the humans at the party.

• Be sure to designate the bowls of "people food" and bowls of "pet food" with a little sign or tent card in front of the item.
