When a bride accepts a proposal, they’re not expecting to say yes to distress. But wedding planning can be the most stressful time in any relationship — families collide, personalities clash, and wallets empty even before your mother-in-law adds her entire bridge club to the invite list. Good thing Betches Brides is here to help you laugh (cry?) through it all. Each week, stand-up comedians Selena Coppock — the mind behind the @nytvows parody account — and Chelsea White meet to swap stories about their own wedding journeys, while answering listener emails to help you not trip down the aisle. Selena and Chelsea are here for all Betches Brides and newlyweds in need of advice, empathy, and laughter — including themselves.

Getting “Glass Skin” For Your Wedding

She also shares the products everyone needs in their at-home routine before getting into listener questions with Fallon.

Dress Codes And Pinterest Boards
Maddy Paul, Senior Content Manager of Lifestyle at Betches, joins Fallon this week to debrief dress codes. From the difference between black and white tie to why dressy casual should be illegal, Maddy and Fallon discuss them all — including what to wear to each. They also discuss why “come as you are” on your wedding invitation is asking for trouble. (Just make the Pinterest board.) Then, they play a game of “Can I Wear This?” with real dress submissions from our listeners and a quick round of Unpopular Opinions.

Bride Guide: Mail Bag Edition
This month's Bride Guide is dedicated to you and your questions. Fallon kicks the episode off with a DM she received from a bride wanting to know how early she can send out invitations to her destination wedding. Is there such a thing as *too* early? Then, she addresses a bride’s anxiety over working with a couple as her photographers, in the event of a fight or break-up, and another bride’s debacle of whether or not to include her dad’s partner in her bridal suite the morning of her wedding.

The Etiquette Of Wedding Invitations And Invitees
Betches' own Maria Del Russo is back on the podcast just four months away from her wedding. She phones a friend (aka Fallon) about the etiquette of sending out formal invitations to those she already knows won't be able to attend. Can she save on postage? Then, she and Fallon get into your listener emails about a MIL throwing an engagement party as an excuse to invite her friends, an adopted bride wanting to honor all of her family members at her wedding, and another bride beefing with her mom over not inviting her sister's "boyfriend." They end with a game of Invite or Ignore.

Interesting perspective on wedding planning!
I listen to Sam’s other podcasts which is what prompted me to leave a review and defend this podcast! I actually very much appreciate the fact that Sam is coming to this from an outside prospective. When paired with a wedding industry expert, she’s able to ask questions on topics that we would all like to know about. When you’re planning a wedding, brides often become so engrossed in their wedding universe that we may miss little details or even bigger picture things. I think it’s really helpful to have someone who does not have this experience to ask these types of questions from a different angle.
Creates unrealistic goals
I just listened to the first episode and it’s super disappointing. The budget numbers thrown around are totally unrealistic for the average person and perpetuate the pressure on couples to overspend on their wedding.
This podcast might helpful if you’re super wealthy, living in NYC, and wanting to drop an enormous amount of money on your wedding. Also, it actually didn’t teach me any practical information, except that the American wedding industry is totally ridiculous and over the top.
Skip this podcast and try Bridechilla instead if you’re looking for something that gives you practical advice, is entertaining, and promotes balance in your life.
