If you and your partner are dog lovers, it’s likely that you want your dog to be a part of your big day. It is possible to do so with a little bit of extra planning. Here are some tips for planning Omaha weddings with your dog!
Know how your dog will behave
Whether your dog is attending your wedding ceremony or reception, it’s important to consider how they typically behave so you can have an idea as to how they’ll behave at your wedding. Do they like to be around lots of people? Or are they shy and timid when introduced to new people? As much as you want your dog there, you need to make sure they want to be there. Play to your dog’s strengths, and know you may have to embrace a bit of chaos on your wedding day.
Be sure to include them in your photos
When you have your dog in your wedding, you can be sure to include them in your wedding photos. Be sure to talk with your photographer about including your dog in the photos, or choose a photographer who is familiar with photographing pets. Wedding photos with your dog are sure to create lasting memories!
Make sure your guests aren’t allergic to dogs
If you’re committed to having your dog at your wedding, let your guests know so that anyone who is allergic or doesn’t necessarily like dogs can plan accordingly. You’ll want to have a specific person handling your dog during your wedding, so be sure they are aware of any allergies or sensitivities.
Hire a handler for you and your dog’s comfort
As you and your fiancé will be busy during your wedding day, choose a responsible person to care for your dog. You want to have someone who can take them potty, feed them when needed and keep them on a leash. This can help put you and your dog at ease throughout your wedding day. Think of it as hiring a best man or maid of honor for your dog.
Find a pet-friendly wedding venue
Most importantly, you need a wedding venue that allows dogs. Don’t assume the venue will allow pets, and always ask beforehand. If you’re set on a dog-friendly wedding, ensure your venue is dog-friendly as well. You will also need to be sure your dog handler for the day has poop bags and a way to give your dog water. You want to leave the venue as good or better than when you came, especially if you’re bringing your dog.
