[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm baffled about the recommendations for asking a guest to be the 'dog person'. What's next - asking a guest to be the 'washing dishes person'?[/quote]

I kind of get this, because some people do ask how they can help.
The suggestion I didn't understand at all was asking a friend who wasn't invited to take the dogs. LOL. "Umm, I didn't invite you to my wedding, but would you mind dogsitting for me and someone I did invite to the wedding?"[/quote]

It was me! It's a tiny wedding, right? If my neighbor on the next block had a tiny wedding in her yard, I certainly wouldn't expect to be invited. But I would happily watch her dog (I love dogs). Or a colleague, or whatever. People shouldn't get offended about not being invited to weddings in general but especially not this very small wedding during Covid.

I also disagree that it would be weird to ask a guest. Close family/friends who ask what they can do to help often get a task at a small wedding. Gathering centerpieces, taking home the extra favors, whatever. I actually WAS the dog care person at a small home wedding when I was a teen and it was great. I love dogs, and I made sure the dog was on a leash, hydrated and happy the whole day so the couple didn't have to worry about it.

For the record, I think the cousin is insanely rude to ask to bring his/her dog and the fiancee blew it by saying yes and should call back and fix it. I'm just talking about the couple's own dog who lives there. [/quote]
