20. Involve your pets in the process

One of the best things about having an outdoor wedding is that you may bring your pets with you. This would not be viable if you had a specific location, such as a hotel or a large estate. On the other hand, your dogs and cats will be able to readily integrate themselves into the wedding day if the ceremony is held in your backyard. Some individuals have their dogs serve as ring bearers or dress them up in tuxedos. If you have children attending your wedding, they will be delighted to play with the dog during the reception.

However, it would help if you always had a backup plan in place if your dog has an accident, needs to be fed, or needs to be walked. You'll be so preoccupied with planning your wedding that you won't have time to think about your dogs' well-being. A parent or sibling is usually more than willing to look after the dog throughout the ceremony. They can also be placed in a container in the house until it is appropriate to join the rest of the party.
