Scoff Paper launches edible wedding cards for dogs
With around 12 million dogs now playing an important role in families across the UK, it’s no surprise that pet-friendly weddings are on the rise.
In response to this growing trend, Scoff Paper, the world’s only maker of edible greeting cards for dogs, has launched a range of delicious wedding celebration cards. Available in irresistible chicken and bacon flavours, these cards ensure that well-loved pooches are included in the big day.
The new range includes cards with messages like ‘Be Our Ring Bearer’, ‘Be My Best Man’, and ‘Be My Bridesmaid’. These cards help owners create a sense of occasion as they invite their four-legged family members to play key roles in their special day. Other products in the range include ‘My Mum and Dad Just Got Married’, versions for same-sex couples, congratulations cards, and simple ‘I Love You’ cards. Made with potatoes and natural flavourings, Scoff Paper cards contain no nasty ingredients or rawhide, making them a healthy treat for dogs.
The company, dedicated to making tasty and unique treats for dogs, also produces pens with dog-friendly, edible ink. This allows loved-up couples and wedding guests to write personalised messages, knowing it will be safe for pooches to enjoy.
According to a study by Guide Dogs, since 2022, 94% of dog owners getting married want to give their pets a starring role in their nuptials. Furry friends are regularly taking centre stage as ring bearers, flower dogs, and honoured guests as couples say “I do”.
Gemma Connolly, founder of Scoff Paper, which designs and produces up to 2 million edible cards for dogs every year at the firm’s bespoke, UK-based factory, says: “Nothing gives us more pleasure than helping dog owners say ‘I love you’ with a meaningful and tasty treat. We make our cards based on consumer demand, and in the last year, the request for wedding-related products has rocketed. We produce cards for major high-street retailers, but are always happy to consider bespoke requests, like pet marriage certificates, place names, and personalised cards too.”
Gemma, who is set to marry her long-term partner, Matthew, and is planning her own dog-friendly wedding this summer, adds: “As a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs, I’m well aware that a major event, like a wedding, can be fun and exciting for dogs but can also become overwhelming and stressful. I am carefully planning our big day around my dog, Bertie, to maximise the joy and pleasure for all involved, and I always urge dog owners to do the same.”
Scoff Paper makes cards for many occasions, from weddings, birthdays, and gotcha days, to niche events and just to say ‘I love you’. The products are available to buy online at www.scoffpaper.com, at major and independent pet supply retailers throughout the UK, such as Pets at Home and Pets Corner, and selected gift retailers, including John Lewis and Daylesford Organic.
