Would you ever pay someone to be your bridesmaid? And how would you feel if you were a bridesmaid at a wedding and you learned that a fellow bridesmaid had been hired to stand beside you? And finally, what reasons would a woman even have to pay for an extra bridesmaid?Today, on the Friend Forward podcast, our resident friendship expert is joined by Jen Glantz, writer and an official bridesmaid for hire. In this episode, Danielle and Jen discuss the reasons why Jen gets hired for this role (and it might not be what you think), how being a bridesmaid can make or break a friendship, and how to navigate this role with grace, while keeping your friendships intact.

Choosing a wedding party can be an honor but sometimes it's D.R.A.M.A! It's not always an easy relationship to assign and people tend to put some really high expectations for on those fulfilling these roles. Things don't always turn out the way you hoped, causing tears to be shed and friendships to be dismantled. Enter in Bridesmaid For Hire. On today's show Christy and Michelle connect with Jen Glantz, Jen Glantz is the founder of the viral business, Bridesmaid for Hire, the creator of the project, Finally the Bride, the voice of the podcast, You're Not Getting Any Younger, the founder of the coaching business, Jen & Juice, and the author of the Amazon-bestselling books, All My Friends are Engaged, & Always a Bridesmaid for Hire, published by Simon and Schuster.

And often, there can be a lot of drama that mixes into the equation. It's a big, emotional event, and things rise up to the top. People tend to hire Jen for two major reasons: they don't really have close friends, and want someone to come in and act the role of bridesmaid, or they need someone to come in and sort of bring calmness to a messy team of bridesmaids and their drama. The job of groomsmen and bridesmaids starts months before the wedding. Jen loves getting to the deep, emotional stuff quickly. She is able to bond quickly, and help the bride or groom feel seen and heard. She also runs interference between people so the couple doesn't have to deal with the stress of that. Tips for the wedding party: The morning is NOT about you. Let it go,and move on. If you're not happy, don't bring it up. If something is going wrong, and you notice it, do NOT tell the bride. Tell the wedding planner, tell a family member, etc. Keep it calm. It's a big day, ease into it. Having zero pressure to entertain is so important. Just be a GOOD friend, in the best way possible. Have some separate spaces for getting ready, if possible. Go-To Pep Talk Ideas: Ditch the motivation, get real What are the options right now?

And the role of a bridesmaid, a groomsmaid, what ever you want to call it, is so interesting because people agree to take on this role without ever really knowing what it means.” - Jen “Most people at a wedding aren't looking to spot a hired bridesmaid, so it's not obvious. And if I messed up on something or I say something wrong, think about it, at weddings you're not really engaging in conversation with a lot of people that deep. [...] We keep it surface level, I flip it on them, and we move on.” - Jen “Please do not trust any of your vendors, except for the wedding planner, about the timeline. Because every vendor cares about them and their service, not what time the wedding starts.” - Jen “People think they have to do all of these things. You don't have to do any of it. You really don't.

On today's episode I'm joined by Jen Glantz, founder of Bridesmaid For Hire, 3x author, and host of You're Not Getting Younger. Jen and I discuss how to cope with being the only one of your friends who isn't engaged, going to weddings solo while feeling depressed about your own love life, and what you should expect if you have never been a bridesmaid before. We learn how we can best support our bride and groom friends, if/when we should offer our opinions on their wedding planning, common mistakes people make when it comes to wedding planning, and more.

I am so happy to share my podcast guest with you. I’m chatting with the sparkling Jen Glantz. Jen is the founder of the viral business Bridesmaid for Hire, the creator of the project Finally the Bride, the founder of the blog The Things I Learned From, the voice of the podcast You're Not Getting Any Younger, the founder of the coaching bizz Jen & Juice, and the author of the Amazon-bestselling books All My Friends are Engaged and Always a Bridesmaid for Hire.   As you’ll hear from our chat, Jen makes people feel empowered to go after their dreams and do what lights them up. Here are some of my favorite takeaways from our chat: Goal setting is key in life, but remember to focus less on the goals themselves and more on the progress you’re making. Everything takes longer than we expect, so start planning now for your goals so that you’re ready to go (with a plan in hand), when it’s time. When setting goals for yourself, look at the year in 90-day chunks rather than in a 12-month chunk; doing so will allow you to make progress and pivot when you need to. Healthy living means ditching the idea of perfection and opening yourself up to forgiveness.   Want to connect with Jen? You can do so via her website (https://www.jenglantz.com/), Bridesmaid for Hire (https://bridesmaidforhire.com/), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/jenglantz/), and her podcast You're Not Getting Any Younger (https://www.anyyounger.com/).

Jen Glantz's story starts with a half-joking craigslist ad that went viral and turned into a business! When all her friends were getting married, Jen unintentionally became a “professional” at being a bridesmaid. So then, she successfully founded “Bridesmaid for Hire”: the world's first service where you can hire a bridesmaid to show up at your wedding, walk down the aisle, and give the maid-of-honor speech. Beyond folks hiring Jen to stand beside them on their special day, Jen is an author, podcaster, and speaker. We loved chatting with Jen about her business – especially all the juicy stories that come along with it. Jen does not hold back! You can follow Jen on Instagram @JenGlantz or find out more about her, her books, and her podcast at jenglantz.com.

Traditional economic theory says that more choice should always be better than less. After all, if the cereal aisle has corn flakes, honey nut corn flakes, toasted coconut corn flakes, chocolate corn flakes, multi-grain flakes, and all the rest, you’ll surely be able to find the breakfast carbs that suit your taste buds perfectly. But it turns out that, in certain situations, more choices can be counterproductive.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at how having too many options can sometimes produce anxiety, reduce satisfaction, and even lead us to abandon the decision we’d planned to make altogether.You’ll hear from professional bridesmaid (yes, that’s a real thing) Jen Glantz about her experiences supporting brides through the many decisions they face in planning a wedding. Jen has seen it all: the fatigue, the indecision, the anxiety, and the emotional toll that can result from managing myriad choices while planning the big day.Jen, herself, is now engaged to be married. But rather than subject herself to that giant list of wedding day choices, she has come up with a clever plan to offload the decision-making effort.Jen Glantz runs Bridesmaid for Hire and is based in Brooklyn, New York.  Barry Schwartz is an academic authority on this phenomenon. His book The Paradox of Choice challenged traditional economic theory about the utility of ever-expanding options in prosperous societies. Barry joins Katy to explain where choice overload occurs, and where it doesn’t, and to discuss the benefits of satisficing when it comes to choosing televisions or restaurants or blue jeans. Barry Schwartz is the Dorwin P. Cartwright Professor Emeritus of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

Today's episode is all about how to stop giving up on yourself and giving into negative thoughts. We watercolor our interactions, our decisions, and our confidence with thoughts that are powerful and sometimes untrue. Listen to Jen Glantz share practical tips on re-wiring thought process to change habits and change behavior. 

This year I the most grateful for all of the things I lost.   I lost my favorite pair of socks in an AirBnB in Brooklyn that I spent 30-days living in because when it was time to pack up and leave, I forgot to grab them from the 8 layers of blankets that I used to keep me warm.   I lost muscle on my arms because I traded in many workout sessions for nap sessions (this is something I don't regret).    I lost my promise of always meeting deadlines because I never wrote the 50 pages of a new book I told my wonderful book agent I'd write by the end of October (this is something I DO regret).   I lost a best friend of 7 years who one day, out of the blue, told me that she didn't want to be friends anymore. Her reason? I still do not know.   I lost my temper a couple of times on the people I love the most because they said things that I knew to be true but didn't want to admit that because I'm inherently stubborn, and also, I like to learn things the hard ways (sorry mom).   I lost my motivation, some days, to do much more than get out of bed, brush my teeth, and go through the motions of being a human.   I lost my desire to care about the little things, like big bugs crawling in the apartment, or a mattress that was less comfortable than sleeping on the ground, or having only cold water in the shower, because living out of a suitcase, in a new home every 30-days, for over a year, breaks you down....in a really good way.   I lost $25 at a casino in Colorado Springs, I lost 3 pairs of headphones, I lost a fully loaded MetroCard, I lost a few pounds, then gained them back, then lost them again, then...you get the hint.   So why this year am I choosing to be thankful for all that I've lost?   Because we all lose things in our lives and some are irreplaceable and other things are past-due to leave, and though we try to hold on and chase and feel resentment, we must move forward, we must eyeball all that we have and be grateful before it too is gone.   Before we add it to our list, clean our hands of the past, and learn to inhale the future - even if's not what we imagined it would be.    Ps. Happy THANKSGIVING.

JEN GLANTZ Bridesmaid For Hire   EPISODE 14 SHOW NOTES   HIRING A BRIDESMAID   THE GAL PAL YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED   After standing beside so many brides throughout their wedding planning process over the past couple of years, Jen Glantz witnessed firsthand the stress that brides, and bridesmaids, experience and decided that there was a need in the wedding industry that wasn’t being fulfilled yet. That’s why she decided to write the Craigslist ad offering her services as a professional bridesmaid. After receiving an overwhelming response, she decided to turn it into an actual business in 2014, Bridesmaid for Hire, and wrote about the real-life adventures she found herself front and center at in the new book, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire), available now.   How Jen got started as a professional bridesmaid? Does she actually walk down the aisle as a bridesmaid? Does she keep in contact with the brides after the wedding? What are the services she offers? The difference between her and a wedding planner?

It’s called “Bridesmaid For Hire” so people do hire me to be their bridesmaid, to put on the dress and walk down the aisle.”   “I am not a wedding planner in disguise. I am the people person in the wedding industry. I’m there to work with people and help them get through a very stressful day while taking on the role of their bridesmaid.”   “It is a real, genuine connection.”   “A lot of the reason people hire me is to put out fires or because they know they need support. A lot of my job is managing people.”   “I’m not the one you are hiring to set up your wedding and make your flowers look pretty. I’m the one you are hiring for real, honest advice with no strings attached.”   “Wedding nerves make people feel lots of different things and sometimes they may make them question the person they are marrying.”   “I wear the dress, I walk down the aisle, and give speeches.”   Links:   Manly Bands offer unique wedding bands all at an affordable price all for less than $200.

Salinger Self-Help, by Lorrie Moore

My (not so) Perfect Life Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel is a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world. New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella has written her most timely novel yet. Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.   Always a Bridesmaid...For Hire In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City Millennial’s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the world's only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writing—and not living on the “Upper East Side” of her parents’ house anymore—Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, "Jen, I have something exciting to tell you!" and ended with, "I'd be honored if you would be my bridesmaid." At first she was delighted, but it wasn’t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first.

Melanie talks with Jen Glantz, author of Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) about her new book and her business as a professional bridesmaid. They talk about wedding disasters, online dating, and their favorite and least favorite things about weddings. Jen offers advice about weddings and tells us what we need to get through the big day.

Writer and professional bridesmaid Jen Glantz stops by the show to talk about her new book Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire); Stories on Growing Up, Looking for Love and Walking Down the Aisle for Complete Strangers (out February 7), her thoughts on the wedding industry, the ad she placed on Craigslist offering her services that went viral and ultimately turned into her professional bridesmaid business Bridesmaid for Hire, her desire to help people, her path as a writer, letting her mom select dates for her on dating web sites, what she's learned about marriage and love, relationships, feeling like an outcast, consulting for a sorority, growing up in Florida and so much more.

Jen Glantz has always known that she wanted to be a writer; what she didn't know that she would end up a bridesmaid, always. In 2014, after being in the weddings for several of her friends, Jen decided to go pro, and launched her unconventional business -- Bridesmaid for Hire -- which helps brides get down the aisle with the peace of mind of knowing someone is there (along with their bridal party) to help them no matter what kind of bridezilla moment they may have. Since the launch of the company, Jen has worked with more than 50 brides and has told her story to more than 500 press outlets, including the Today show, Bravo, Good Morning America, Nightline, New York magazine, Glamour, People and Elle. As Jen now prepares to fulfill the longtime dream of release her debut book, Always a Bridesmaid (for Hire), she chats with the Support is Sexy podcast about believing in your business in spite of the doubters (even when those doubters confront you on-air), how to move the needle with media coverage, and how to use failure and rejection to your advantage Subscribe to Support is Sexy podcast on iTunes or on Stitcher Radio!

Jen Glantz is the first professional "Bridesmaid for Hire" and after connecting via email I just had to know more. I admit I was skeptical of the idea going in and had a bunch of questions for Jen (who I found out quickly is absolutely awesome). The conversation was very enlightening for me! Being a bridesmaid is a huge job - so big, in fact, that you can now hire a pro. Enjoy this podcast episode of my talk with Jen, where she tells us all about: Why every bride could use her services (whether its being an actual bridesmaid or using her for consulting) What got her into the biz Why she's been peed on by many strangers Why it pays to have someone like her acting as a neutral party when it comes to families and big decisions How usually the bride is the only one who knows who Jen really is; sometimes even the grooms are led to believe she is an actual friend or family member of the bride and NOT a professional Why "people management" is essential What really goes down in the bathroom at weddings What she learned being a part of so many weddings What it's like having your own love life when you're surrounding by everyone else's love life all the time Why she thinks we do weddings wrong (and what we can do better) Doing things simply while still getting the most out of your wedding day Her goal of spending no more than $1,000 on her own wedding How to drill-down and figure out what matters to you, and how much you can spend on it How she can help you start your own business and share with you her own mistakes Why none of us really know what we are doing, and how to use failure to your advantage Links mentioned: Jen's book: Always a Bridesmaid for Hire, Available for pre-order on Amazon Jen's website: www.JenGlantz.com Jen's blog: www.thethingsilearnedfrom.com My book: The Real-Deal Bridal Bible, on Amazon

This week, I'm joined by a guest who's idea was laughed at, ignored, and induced countless eye rolls.  But despite the negative feedback and doubters, Jen Glantz refused to give up.  Now she's been featured on Good Morning America, the Today Show, the Steve Harvey Show, Fox News, and many other national news outlets.  It turns out that her "crazy" idea was just what some brides-to-be and maids-of-honor were looking for.   Jen's company, Bridesmaid for Hire, has made a splash in the wedding industry, and today she is sharing her secrets to persevering through the hard times to achieve your dreams.  We discuss the importance of testing your idea in the market, when you shouldn't tell your friends about it, and surrounding yourself with people who will push you and cut through your b.s.   If you enjoy this episode and haven't already, please subscribe to the show on iTunes so we can keep this train rolling.  That would be much appreciated.   Please enjoy this conversation with Jen Glantz.   Links:   @jenglantz on Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenglantz?lang=en jenglantz.com Book - Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) - https://www.amazon.com/Always-Bridesmaid-Hire-Jen-Glantz/dp/1501139061/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=thethinilearf-20&linkId=c0311505495e2390a0d17cd51a35028f

The best interviews should make you cry happy tears, right? Our first interview to share with you, is with the amazing, lovely and talented Jen Glantz. A lady who made her name by posting an ad on Craigslist to be a professional bridesmaid. Yes, you heard it right. A sneak into her story: "I DID WHAT ANY POETRY MAJOR WOULD PROBABLY DO WHEN THEY WANT TO START A BUSINESS, I TURNED TO CRAIGSLIST. I WROTE AN AD OFFERING MY SERVICES TO STRANGERS AS THEIR BRIDESMAID FOR HIRE, SHUT DOWN MY COMPUTER SCREEN, DIDN'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS, AND WENT TO SLEEP. TWO DAYS LATER, THE AD WENT VIRAL, MY INBOX WAS FILLED WITH EMAILS FROM BRIDES-TO-BE, AND MY HEART WAS BEATING TOWARD A GIGANTIC OPPORTUNITY I CREATED ALMOST BY PURE ACCIDENT." IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK WEDDINGS, DATING, STARTING A BUSINESS AND LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE. Listen and let us know your thoughts! We'd love to hear what you think about some of the truth bombs that Jen drops on us during this one.
