    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Sure, filet mignon and roasted chicken sound like great reception menu options, but, if we're being honest, that's not what everyone's craving. Traditional wedding menu items are classics for a reason, but there's something to be said for serving comfort food at the reception. After all, there's no rule that says you can't turn to a fan-favorite meal to feed your hungry guests. As a reception meal, cocktail-hour bite, or late-night after-party snack, pizza may just be the answer to your guests' prayers. Concerned about making pizza wedding-worthy? Don't be—we've rounded up plenty of elevated pizza ideas for your big day.

For casual weddings, serving pizza is easy—dish it out by the slice or pie. If you're planning a more formal affair, however, you'll want to get creative with toppings or make your pizza station more experiential (show your guests how it's made up close!). With hundreds of renditions of the classic sauce-cheese-dough combination, celebrating with your food of choice has never been easier. Looking for a simple way to please attendees with this comfort food? Hire a pizza truck, like Classic Crust, seen here, to deliver custom pies straight to your reception.

Don't want to serve such a casual food on your wedding day, but still want to pay homage to your go-to snack? Consider a pizza-inspired décor moment, like a pizza paddle seating chart or drink menu. Whether you honor your love for pizza through a made-to-order late-night snack bar or a sign with a witty quote that references your favorite bite, there are so many tasty (and tasteful!) pizza ideas you can copy at your own event.
