Wedding Variations: Including Your Pet

In a recent turn of bridal events, many brides and grooms are incorporating their favorite pet into their ceremony and reception. It's only normal, of course, as these days most pets are considered to be family. There are many things to consider when planning a wedding with a canine or other pet in the bridal party. While no one can blame you for wanting your special friend in attendance, here are a few things that can help the day run smoothly for all involved.

Most importantly, when selecting the ceremony and reception sites, the couple needs to make sure that the establishments they choose will welcome their furry friend at the event. Some venues have restrictions on pet attendance. It is also important to plan ahead for the pet’s behavioral needs. Select a trustworthy person to be in charge of the pet, to ensure that he is fed, watered, walked and given appropriate chances to have those much needed bathroom breaks, preferably before the ceremony. Some extra training may be necessary for your pet and the attendant who has been chosen as the guardian.
