Nicole’s Wedding Recap!

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’ bride guide is in the house. Each week, Fallon Carter — one of the nation’s top wedding planners — guides a real Betches Bride in need of advice, empathy, and laughter through their nuptial nerves, and invites expert friends on the podcast to dig deeper into our brides’ biggest problem areas.

How To

Fallon shares an announcement before welcoming Kunbi Odubogun and Leah Weinberg, her friends and founders of Oduberg Law, onto the podcast. They dive into vendor contracts, including (but not limited to) every piece of information the contract should have and who should sign it. They also answer whether an email is considered binding and what suing a vendor actually entails. Then, they help a listener who’s getting the ole bait n' switch from their venue after signing their contract. They end the episode with some free legal advice: save your ass and hire an attorney.

Vendor Contracts: WTF Is A Force Majeure?

Aesthetician Brittany Blancato is back on the podcast to give your skin the bridal bootcamp it didn't even know it needed.

She also shares the products everyone needs in their at-home routine before getting into listener questions with Fallon. The duo answer whether or not skincare trials are a thing, what to do if you're the bride on her period, and the process for finding an aesthetician for your groom.

Getting “Glass Skin” For Your Wedding

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.

Dress Codes And Pinterest Boards

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.

Bride Guide: Mail Bag Edition

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.
