    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.

You've said "yes," and you're headed down the aisle. Now, it's your turn to "pop" the question—that is, to your bridesmaids! Your best friends have been there through thick and thin, so it's only natural you'd want them standing by you on your big day. Asking your friends to be bridesmaids (or 

maid of honor

) is a big deal. These are the women who will be helping you plan, celebrate, and say "I do"—not to mention keeping you sane (and eliminating unnecessary stress) in the process. The bridal party members are basically the VIPs of the wedding, and they should be treated as such—starting with when you ask them to take on the role. How should you pop the question to your future 'maids? We think the way you ask someone to be part of your bridal party should be just as special as she is. Our unique ideas, including gifts, DIY projects, and playful plans, will help ensure you do just that.

If you and your girls live close to each other—and to a beach—gather them up to pop the question in person. This bride used iron-on letters to customize bathing suits for her "Bride Tribe." You could follow in her footsteps, or customize simple T-shirts, tote bags, or anything else with a relatively flat surface. Your group will wear their new titles with pride.

Rest assured, if you're not crafty at all, there are tons of other items you can buy and put together that are just as exceptional, not that your bridesmaids actually need a physical gift in order agree to be your attendants. Read on for other creative ways to ask this very important question.

A Dinner Date

What's a better occasion to throw a dinner party than asking your nearest and dearest to be your bridesmaids? Even if it's just pizza and beer, adding a little décor (in this instance colored taper candles, tissue paper spheres on the table, and crepe paper flowers on the wall) makes it feel extra special. Lovelyfest Event Design helped this bride pull it all off in style.

Floating on Air

One thing that's up in the air when you start planning is who will stand by your side on the big day. When it's time to ask your girls, gather them up and propose in style. These balloons add festive décor to any casual get-together, but you could also use the oversize inflatables to help you "pop the question" in a literal way. Fill them up with confetti and a handwritten note with the question at hand, give each girl a pin, and stand back to watch as the fun explodes.

Your bridesmaids are going to be planning several of your pre-wedding festivities and answering a lot of questions between now and the wedding day. The least you can do is organize a little fun in the sun as part of your bridesmaid proposals. Invite them to join you for an afternoon at the pool (better yet, rent a house that has one and make a weekend of it), with fun floats, some cocktails, and the music you listen to when getting ready for a night out. It'll be just like old times, and a fun way to kick things off.
