For many people, that list also includes a beloved furry friend. Whether it is a dog, cat, guinea pig, or gecko, pets are part of the family and deserve to be a part of the wedding festivities. The question is how should you include them and what should you do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider the venue and guest list.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a perfect world everyone loves your pet just as much as you do and wants nothing more than to frolic with your furry friend no matter the occasion. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t always\u00a0work that way. Before making any plans to celebrate your wedding day festivities with pets make sure the wedding venue will allow it and does not create potential hazards for the pet or guests. Are you having a casual outdoor wedding? Than your pet may feel right at home. But if you are having a very formal wedding at a castle, including a pet of any kind may not be appropriate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11812\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11812\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/853e202102538f41dde498cbcddd96ea.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11812\" alt=\"dogs at weddings\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/853e202102538f41dde498cbcddd96ea-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11812\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11812\" alt=\"dogs at weddings\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/853e202102538f41dde498cbcddd96ea-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/snapknot.com\/blog\/wedding-pets\/\">http:\/\/snapknot.com\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having a lot of guests?
