Dogs
Dogs are incredibly popular animals at weddings and are often involved in the festivities. They are often well-behaved and relaxed, which means they enjoy participating in the activities as long as it is not too crowded.

It is important to remember that involving your dog in your wedding requires some planning and preparation to ensure your dog is comfortable and does not get stressed. For example, you need to discuss whether pets are allowed at the venue and make sure there is enough food, water and shade available to ensure your dog stays comfortable.

Cats
Although cats are beloved pets, they are rarely involved in weddings because of their unpredictable nature and sensitivity to crowds. Bridal couples usually choose not to bring their cats to the ceremony or party. Nevertheless, cats are often present during the preparations in the morning and love being on the wedding dress to lie down and put their nails in, which can sometimes make for hilarious moments. But when it comes to the wedding itself, cats are usually not part of the party.
Sheep
Sheep may not be the first animal you think of when you think of a wedding, but sometimes it happens that couples want to take their photos in a rural setting where sheep roam. This animals usually stand in a meadow and eat grass, staring sheepishly at the world around them. Although most sheep do not come close, there are sometimes one or two that are curious and come closer to see what is going on.

This way, you can make sure the sheep come to you and possibly even add a nice touch to your photo. Whether you opt for a group photo with sheep or not, a rural setting with sheep can certainly add to the atmosphere of your wedding.
Donkeys & Horses
Donkeys are animals with a quirky personality and a highly developed curiosity. If you decide to involve a donkey in your wedding, know that it can go either way. It is important to prepare well and take the necessary safety measures. Donkey activities at weddings have become popular, but it is important to make sure the donkey is well-trained and comfortable in the environment where the wedding is taking place.
Horses are often a better choice for a castle wedding, while donkeys are better suited to a farm or festival wedding. Involving animals such as donkeys at your wedding can be a fun addition, but it is important to remember that these animals will do anything for food. So make sure you have enough treats on hand to entice them to cooperate. With the right preparation and care, involving donkeys in your wedding can be a unique and unforgettable experience.
Birds
Birds can be involved in a wedding in a beautiful and unique way by flying the wedding rings. It is a beautiful sight to see the bird flying while holding the rings in its talons. However, it is important to remember that training birds for this task takes a lot of time and effort and is not without risks.
Although rare, there may be situations where the bird does not deliver the rings properly and runs off with them. This can be an unsettling and stressful situation for the bride and groom and the guests. To avoid this, it is important to ensure that the bird is properly trained and that there is a backup plan in case something goes wrong.
If you do decide to involve a bird in your wedding, make sure you hire a professional who is experienced in training birds for this task and that you have taken all safety measures to ensure that the bird and the rings are safe. With proper planning and care, involving birds in your wedding can be a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
