I love parties. I love the entertaining and the food and getting fun decorations together to set the mood.
And this means the not-so-usual parties like a dog birthday party and new dog adoption puppy shower!
Here are some pictures of a dog showers party I threw for a co-worker who was getting a new dog and we treated it just like a baby shower.
< Our favorite dog toys, puzzles, gifts and treats >
We had a cake, treats and plenty of dog decorations to set the mood. And the dog bowls doubled as a holder for our food we catered for lunch! Super cute!
Dog party items to include:
- Tall Pretzel sticks (Go Fetch sticks)
- Chex mix doggie chow (Puppy Chow)
- Reese’s Puffs Cereal found at Target
- Dollar store dog bowls
- Dollar store plastic dog treat containers
- a few balloons from Dollar Store
- Dollar store pee pads in a diaper tower
- little signs – Dollar Tree frames, printed at home
- random dog toys for decor
- Sugar Cookies in dog related shapes
In addition to the table setup and gifts, you can also play a couple games including:
- celebrity dog match
- Baby animal match game
- Around the world “dog” language (hard)
- Dog breed word search
- Pin the tail on the dog
- Movie dog scramble
- Dog maze (2 options)
- Doggie name pick
Its really a time for everyone to have a bit of fun, relax and not be so serious.
But remember, to many people, a dog or any animal can be family or their children so celebrating this type of life change can be wonderful for all involved.
I hope you have as much fun as we did!
