It seems like someone we know is always getting married. Whether you’re a loyal member of the bride tribe or the blushing bride-to-be, honoring the big day consists of a lot more than just the wedding ceremony. From the bachelorette party to the bridal shower, planning memorable pre-marriage celebrations doesn’t have to be stressful! See our bridal celebration ideas below.
If you’re looking to plan an epic bachelorette party, why not an adults-only trip to Disney?? Kristy celebrated her sister-in-law’s upcoming nuptials with a weekend in the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! She recommends going without kids to Disney at least once in your life, because the experience is so different when you don’t have to worry about the little ones.
Make sure you grab matching magical tees, fun coordinating mouse ears, and, if you really want to get crazy, princess-themed outfits for going out at night!! We all know the bride is royalty, so what better occasion to show off your queenship.
After all of that celebrating, you’re probably going to want a little help recovery. These bachelorette party survival kits make the perfect gift for all the gals! Your bride and bridal party will be as good as new in no time with these essentials.
For a bridal shower, you’re going to want to gift something practical but something the bride wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. How about this: a mini wine fridge with a customized wine subscription! Who wouldn’t want delicious wines delivered right to their door, especially with all that stress of wedding planning?! Don’t forget your “Miss to Mrs.” banner in case anyone forgot who all those gifts are for.
A “bride” silk robe is a must. Whether she wants to wear it on her wedding day or lounging around her house while she dreams of being the future Mrs., this is one bridal tradition you don’t want to forgo.
Games are a bridal shower must! This ring game is a fun way to get everyone involved and share a few laughs over some healthy competition.
These party favors are perfect for your bridal shower guests! Kiss the miss goodbye with Hershey’s Kisses and champagne lip balm. Pucker up!!

Meet the Founder
Kristy – Founder & President
Welcome to the Frugal and Thriving community! I started this group in October 2019 as a way to help others save on everyday essentials, gifts for every celebration, and the occasional splurge-worthy treat! I am so grateful for all of you who have become like a family to me. YOU are the reason I love doing what I do!!
As a wife and a mom to two beautiful kiddos (and two adorable pups!) I know how important it is to make the most of those hard-earned paychecks! One way I love to save money is by doing DIY projects. You can find me remodeling or reorganizing something in my house pretty much at all times…something about accomplishing it on your own is so much more rewarding!
I also love cooking and baking, and trying new recipes for my family (and all of you!) to enjoy is one of my favorite hobbies. Traveling is a passion of mine, too, but my kids have me grounded at homebase right now, so I’m working on my travel bucket list instead. Summer is my all-time favorite season and I’m so thankful to get to live by the beach, but I have a special place in my heart for fall, too. I would definitely be okay if those were the only two seasons.
I’m so happy to have you here and I hope I can help you find a little inspiration and creativity for living a lavish lifestyle for less!
Meet the F&T Team
Fellicia – Deal Coordinator
If there is a hot deal out there, Fellicia will find it! As our designated Deal Coordinator and a stay-at-home mom to four kids who has been married to the love of her life for 18 years, she knows all about finding a good bargain. Fellicia loves creating new recipes and dishes, especially when she gets to embrace her husband’s Spanish culture and play around with Hispanic-inspired food! When she’s not in the kitchen cooking up something mouthwateringly delicious, you can catch her refinishing an eclectic piece of furniture that makes a room look just right, or organizing closets, pantries, toy bins, and cabinets. If it can be organized, Fellicia is on it. She is happiest when she can be enjoying peaceful time tucked away in the mountains, especially during the fall.
Faith – Content Creator
As a lover of reading and writing, our Content Creator, Faith, is fully in her element while creating fun and informative blog posts for our website! She is the ultimate homebody who can be found curled up in the coziest blanket with a good book and a hot cup of tea (with a million candles lit). When she’s not researching new and interesting ideas for the blog or lost in an enrapturing story, she’s most definitely on her yoga mat or outside soaking up some sun and fresh air.
Krista – Social Media Manager
Our Social Media Manager, Krista, uses her bubbling fountain of creativity to design eye-catching photos and videos for F&T’s social platforms. When she isn’t busy making our community more aesthetically pleasing, she’s probably shopping the latest trends in fashion, beauty, and home decor; crafting; or spending some quality time with her family and houseplants (because plants need loving, too!). Her passions include all things Broadway, Harry Potter, and Disney, and you can find her sprinkling a little bit of magic everywhere she goes.
