Have you all had to encounter guests making requests to bring their dogs to the hotel? How did you respectfully decline?

Why would they direct that question to you rather than the hotel? If the hotel allows dogs go for it, if they don’t tell them they don’t.

That isn't a problem here. If they call and ask if they can bring their dog, we say "No." Of course, we say it in a very "respectful" way. If they just show up with Toto in tow, I usually end up being the one that has to tell them the dog cannot stay. I do have a list of "doggie hotels" in the nearby area that they can call to arrange boarding for a few days. I have told our staff not to engage in a debate or explanation or defense of the policy. It is what it is and it will remain that way. I don't want fleas. I don't want little "presents" in the hall or the walls being marked by a territorial terrier. I don't want my housekeepers to be attacked by some little ankle-biter hiding under the bed. I don't want the next guest to think they have a camel hair blanket when it's just a souvenir from Big Red. No means no.

I haven't encountered any guests asking to bring any pets to the hotel but honestly I don't think I would mind it unless the hotel doesn't allow it. If they do allow it I don't see any harm in letthing them bring their dogs.

If you mean to the ceremony or receptionThis is the hotels job. If you mean to your actual ceremony, just say it prohibited by the venue and/or officiant. This new found obsession with pets is worse than people wanting to bring kids to an adult only celebration.

On our wedding website we had an FAQ that addressed this question. We chose a hotel that was not particularly pet friendly, but for anyone traveling in, we made suggestions of boarding houses that we had personally used so people could bring their dog and just board them for a couple days.

I have a strong suspicion my future in-laws will want to bring their two little dogs to the actual wedding, not to mention wherever they stay. Honestly I am prepared to say heck no, and that should be what you're ready for. It's your special day, so they should respect you enough to not add any extra stress.
Congratulations!

Don’t decline. Have them come to the wedding too.

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy
