Bridesmaids Movie Review: What Every Maid of Honor Needs to Know

The Pre Nup: A Wedding Planning Podcast

Big Vic is back, and you know what that means—it’s time to recap and review one of our favorite wedding movies. This week, we’re diving into the 2011 hit Bridesmaids, which has become a modern comedy classic.
Big Vic and I break down all the wedding-related themes, from awkward bridal party dynamics to budget woes and everything in between. We chat about the iconic moments, from the engagement party speech-off to Annie’s Brazilian steakhouse meltdown, and how these scenes relate to real-life wedding drama.
We also share our personal experiences as maids of honor, dishing out tips on how to handle the financial expectations, merge friend groups, and avoid those cringe-worthy moments every bridesmaid dreads. Plus, in our “Premarital Counseling” segment, we answer a listener’s question on how to gracefully navigate the tricky subject of bridal party expenses without causing drama.
