Keep your beloved pets close at your intimate wedding without worrying about trimming the guest list

From comforting cuddles to adorable tail wagging, nothing’s better than your furry best friend to keep those pre-wedding jitters away.

For many men and women, their pet, is an integral part of the family. We have featured many weddings where a beloved pooch has played a key a role at a wedding – sometimes as a furry ring bearer or as a showstopper with its own customized wedding ensemble. However, in these pandemic times, how can pet-loving couples include their fur babies in the celebrations with so many hygiene and safety guidelines in place?

Here are a few guidelines to follow if you want to make your pet a part of your guest list.
