Signature Grand: Weddings with Pets

If you're freaking out, last minute, that you don't have a ring bearer - you can stop stressing. These days, it is perfectly common and acceptable to include your precious pet into your special day. Your pet, after all, is a huge part of your life and family. Why not include him/her?! Here are a few ideas for including your pooch into your wedding day:

First and foremost, when selecting your wedding venue, make sure that they allow pets into their establishment. Some locations 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. If your pet isn't well trained, you might need to work on that prior to the wedding.

Be sure to include an appropriate role for the pet, bearing in mind his/her age. While an older more disciplined dog might make an excellent ring bearer, a younger more excitable dog will just run rampant. As your ring bearer, flower-dog, or honorary attendant, specially decorated and festive leashes will help the human attendants keep the excited pet by their side. Whether it's a "Flowergirl" styled bow or a fresh flower collar for your special little princess or a Pet Tuxedo for your little buddy, pet wedding attire is becoming one of the fastest growing wedding accessories of today. Make sure that any "special" clothing or wedding attire you choose for your pet is appropriate, to enable him/her to easily relieve themselves without soiling the garment.
