Furry Friends!

If you are anything like me,  your pet is a part of your family even more so than some of your actual family members! So then why should such a vital part of your family be excluded from your special day? The good news is they don't! Of course, it depends on what venue you choose, but most outdoor venues will let you bring along your pets to enjoy your special day. Plus having your dog or cat in some wedding photos make great keepsakes! After the ceremony, I would suggest having your pet stay home as a reception is not really the place for them.

Here are a few tips:

1) There should be one person who will be in charge of the pet. This person will keep an eye on him/her and give water when necessary.

2) Don't expect perfection. With all the excitement and all the people, chances are your dog will not behave normally. They are still animals, so they are a little unpredictable.

3) All dogs are different. Some will be able to wear a cute outfit and be the ring bearer where others will just be able to walk down the aisle. You know the personality of your dog. You want them to be comfortable! So select a role for them that you know they won't mind.

4) Considering hiring a photographer who has worked with animals before. They will know how to get your dog's attention so he or she will look at the camera!  In addition, hire an officiant that is not afraid of dogs, that could produce a lot of problems if they were afraid!!

5) Have your dog come to the wedding rehearsal! That way they can get a feel for what will be happening the next day!
