If you’re a dog-loving couple, including your furry family member in the proposal can add an extra layer of personal touch and charm to this life-changing event. In this post, we’ll explore the heartwarming and creative proposal ideas with a dog, from adorable ring bearers to playful scavenger hunts!
Customized Dog Shirt: Dress your dog in a customized shirt that asks the big question.
Ring Bearer: Have your dog wear a cute outfit with a pouch or a special collar to carry the ring. (This can also be a fun job to have your dog perform at the wedding!)
Message on Dog’s Collar: Attach a note or a small sign to the dog’s collar that says “Will you marry me?”
Themed Photoshoot: Arrange a professional photoshoot with your dog, and pop the question during the session.
Dog’s Tag: Replace the dog’s regular tag with a “will you marry me” tag that has the proposal message.
Surprise Park Visit: Take a walk in the park where your dog ‘finds’ the ring box. (If you don’t have a helper person to guard the box before your dog discovers it, substitute a photo of the ring in the box and keep the real thing in your pocket!)

Did you know that in the United States it’s estimated that nearly one-third of all engagements happen between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, with a considerable concentration in December? The convergence of Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and other seasonal festivities makes this time particularly popular for proposals.
Proposal Video Featuring Dog: Make a cute video featuring your dog, ending with the proposal message.

Dog Artwork: Commission a piece of artwork featuring your dog holding a “Marry Me?” sign.
Dog-Friendly Café Proposal: Propose at a dog-friendly café where your dog presents the ring.
Home Scavenger Hunt: Arrange a scavenger hunt around your home with your dog as the guide. Leave clues that lead to fond memories you’ve shared, with the final clue attached to your dog’s collar, leading to where you’ll be waiting with the ring.
Dog-Delivered Gift Box: Have your dog carry a gift box that contains the proposal message or ring.
Dinner Surprise: Prepare a romantic dinner at home. Train your dog to bring the ring box to the table at a specific moment during the meal, perhaps tied gently to a ribbon on their collar.
Personalized Dog Bandana: Dress your dog in a “will you marry me” bandana that pops the question when you’re out for a walk.
Doggy Boat Ride: On a boat ride, have your dog bring the ring at the perfect moment.

Dog-Inspired Flash Mob: Organize a flash mob in a park, with your dog leading the group.
