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!!

Can we just take a minute to talk about this bread 🍞 machine!!
This is the easiest loaf of bread I’ve ever made! And it was under an hour! 🙆🏼♀️
I literally added the ingredients in the order I was told (6 total ingredients) and let the machine do the rest! This onion bread has made my kitchen smell fabulous and I busted into it before creating this post, so I could put butter on the warm slice 🤤🤤 fabulous. So so good!
I chose to make a small loaf because well I need to discipline myself 🤣🤣 but you have the option to choose from multiple sizes! It also has 8 different programs (one being the fast bake that I chose to make this one in under an hour!)
I would say this is such a fabulous gift to give someone – it’s so fool proof even my husband could do it! 🤣
If you’re new to QVC use code WELCOME to grab $5 off!!

Looking to bring life back to your skin?! Take a look at these fantastic Tatcha beauty products that I absolutely love and have helped me with keeping my skin soft, and radiant through the harsh cold weather!
Tatcha has always been one of my favorites – not only are their products amazing but they partnered with Room to Read to help transform girls’ futures! Every purchase that is made you’re supporting a little girls’ education around the world! 🥰
This Violet C Brightening Serum is gentle yet effective! The antioxidant-rich Japanese Beautyberry with two types of Vitamin C and Japanese Angelica Root [an edible plant 🌱 prized for centuries in herbal medicine for its recovery benefits]. It’s essential in helping to diffuse excess melanin and minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation for a radiant glow.
Simply cleanse your skin in the evening and gently massage about 1-2 pumps onto face.
This Violet C Radiance Mask harnesses the antioxidant-rich Japanese Beautyberry with two types of Vitamin C and gentle AHAs from seven fruits to encourage cell turnover and fight aging from UV damage. The result – brighter, softer skin!
Simply cleanse your skin and apply a generous even layer to your dry skin (avoiding eye area). Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Can be used 2-3 times a week!
This Dewy Serum is inspired by the plumpness and purity of a newborn’s complexion! With hyaluronic acid, squalene, collagen, and elastin – substances native to skin from birth that play a vital role in determining how it looks and responds to environmental harm. These replenishing ingredients return your skin to the suppleness, bounciness, and radiance that was lost over time!
Simply massage 1-2 pumps onto clean, dry skin – morning and night.
Right now QVC is offering a FANTASTIC savings on the radiance bundle! New to QVC? Use code OFFER to grab an additional $10 off at checkout – or try HELLO10 if this is your second time.
