Hire a Pet Sitter
Hire a professional Pet Sitter someone your doggy is comfortable with, and knows your dog well.
The dog's sitter can assist with getting your dog ready for the ceremony. Feeding, walking, and dressing the dog in that cute little outfit, fancy collar, mini tux/dress, or bow tie! Also, you want to relax and enjoy your wedding day, and not worry about your favorite furry friend. Another great element about hiring a sitter is him/her can bring your canine to and from the ceremony; and watch the dog during the reception!
Tell your Guests
You want to let your guests know that your pooch will be present at the wedding. You can include this in your wedding invitation by adding in a insert, or include this on your wedding website. This prepares your guests, so they know your four-legged buddy will be there.

DeleteI agree! I think this is a great way for brides to implement their dogs on such a very special occasion! Thank you for stopping by to read my Blog Post!
Great tips! We have had couples enlist their dog walker to just bring the dog by during the cocktail hour and then returned the dog back home.
