Pets at Your Backyard Wedding

If you want your pets at your backyard wedding, you will want to make a plan for their care on the wedding day. Some pets are high-strung, and the wedding day activities will stress them out, so boarding them may be the kindest thing you can do, both for their well-being and your own peace of mind.

If you do want your pets around the home on the wedding day, I suggest that you either hire a pet sitter to be around to manage the walks and feedings through the entire day, or ask a responsible and willing family member to be in charge of those tasks.

Some folks have well-behaved pets who can be trusted to participate in the wedding ceremony. This is a great way to include those furry loved ones in your celebration. Remember to ask your florist to put together something for the leash or collar; or you can pick up some other special “attire” for the wedding.

While I don’t recommend guests go into the home, the home is a great place for a hired dog handler! This will allow for pets to seamlessly attend a backyard wedding.
