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!!

Everyone knows the best parts of Easter are the candy, the egg hunts, and the cute animal-inspired celebrations (bunnies and baby chicks, don’t deny the adorableness). If you are planning on throwing a classroom party for your kiddos – or even just a fun celebration at home – you’re going to want to see these Easter treat ideas! Kristy planned some really creative festivities for her daughter’s class…see her ideas below.

Frugal and Thriving may earn a small commission via affiliate links in this post. See full disclosure here.

These little treat jars are an adorable way to make a tasty nest for your Peeps! Filled with edible grass and jelly beans, topped with a Peep, and finished off with a pretty sticker, these snacks are perfect for the classroom.

How fun is this green apple-flavored edible grass?? With just the lightest bit of flavor, this is a really creative way to make nests, grass-filled baskets, and more! The grass easily dissolves in your mouth which the kids will love.

If you have kids with allergies in your class, you might want to opt for the (slightly more expensive) allergen-free jelly beans and chocolate candies. If you don’t have to worry about that, M&Ms, Cadbury milk eggs, and any type of jelly bean would work! 

These carrot bags are adorable!! Stuff some bags with Cheetos and close off with a green ribbon, and you’ve got your very own Easter treat! This is probably a much-preferred version of carrots for the kids.

For some actual healthy snacks, these fruit skewers topped with Peeps are delicious and nutritious, AND they’re almost to beautiful to eat!!

Egg hunt time! Grab some plastic eggs and fill them with Easter-themed goodies like stamps and mini crayons.

And of course, don’t forget the candy! Throw in a couple chocolate rabbits and Peeps lollipop rings for a sweet surprise.

These burlap bunny bags though!! SO stinkin’ cute!

Fill your burlap bunnies with bubbles, scented dough, puzzles, erasers, scented glue sticks, scented pensscented markers, and candy lip balm!

When all is said and done, the kiddos will be heading home with tummies full of yummy treats, a basket full of fun goodies, heads full of uplifting memories, and hearts full of warm fuzzy feelings.

Easter is the first holiday that falls during spring, and that means it’s the perfect occasion to break out out the pastel colors and floral prints! If you have family traditions for Easter Sunday, whether it’s church, brunch, lunch, or just a day with the kids hunting for Easter eggs and eating candy, donning coordinating outfits is a great excuse to snap some adorable family pictures! Old Navy has so many spring styles for the whole family, making your Easter outfit shopping a breeze. See our family Easter outfit inspiration from Old Navy below.

Frugal and Thriving may earn a small commission via affiliate links in this post. See full disclosure here.

These gorgeous blues will have you feeling anything but! This shade is a super popular one this spring, so keep your family looking trendy with these pale blues and bright whites.

There’s nothing like a sunny yellow for spring! While the sun shines down on you and your family, you can brighten up any room with these buttery soft shades of yellow.

Bring on the blooms! Pastel purple is balanced with bold florals in this combination…it’s reminiscent of the first budding of crocuses on a warm spring morning.

Pink is always a pretty option for spring. Mix solid shades with dainty floral prints to add a little dimension, and keep it casual by throwing in a bit of dark denim!

Grab some pretty baskets that you can stuff full of only the best goodies! Kristy made these baskets for her kids’ teachers, and they are filled with seasonal specialties, yummy treats, and everyday essentials.

Because you can never have too many blankets! Grab a fun, festive throw blanket to tuck away in your basket and start the holiday theme.

These mini pillows and hanging decor penguins are so cute for the classroom or the office!

Who doesn’t love a heavenly smelling candle?! Share the scents of the season with a candle that looks as pretty as it smells.

This is a great idea, especially for teachers or nurses. Stuff in a few sweet-smelling hand sanitizers and help keep the winter germs away! Pro Tip: Wait until Bath and Body Works has its 5 for $5 sanitizer sale! It’s the perfect time to stock up on basket fillers.

Moisture is the name of the game during the cold, dry months, and these Burt’s Bees kits will definitely do the trick! A luxurious lip balm and hand/body cream will provide lasting hydration all season long.

How stinkin’ cute is this?? A mini waffle maker that imprints a Christmas tree on each waffle! This is a great gift for any foodie, or anyone who can’t get enough of Christmas!

Being warm and cozy, snuggled up with a cup of delicious hot cocoa, is the epitome of an ideal winter night. I’ll take two, please!!

Finish off with an assortment of snacks! These make great fillers for any empty spots left in your basket and let’s be honest, tasty treats always make great gifts!!

This is a fun idea for a new driver or a college student, or really anyone who likes being prepared with the essentials! Grab a bunch of car necessities (air fresheners, tire inflator, cleaning wipes, etc.) and stuff them into a trunk organizer and you have a practical gift for any driver!
