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!!

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days was just over a month ago, and we’re still reminiscing about how awesome the sales were! The F&T team worked hard to bring you the best of the best that Amazon had to offer, including our own purchases and wish list items! The lack of sleep over those two days was totally worth it…we scored some great things and you guys did too! A lot of these featured sale items are anticipated to be included in Amazon’s Black Friday deals as well, so check them out now and add them to your own Amazon wish list to get a jumpstart on your Black Friday shopping! See our roundup of the top Amazon Prime Big Deal Days items below.
I do have to say that I was very surprised about this top ten – I didn’t know that Airheads were a hot-ticket item, but I suppose with Halloween approaching it was a deal that couldn’t be passed on. Number 4 on the list is the only item that I purchased – I contributed to the Frugal and Thriving donation bin for Toys for Tots this year! See the top 10 items here!
Fellicia’s list was mostly about self-care with some comfy slippers, skincare, and perfume. If you didn’t already know, Fellicia’s a Halloween decor junkie, so those spotlights probably came just in time for her outdoor decor! Check out her top 5 here!
Krista is a self-proclaimed bookworm, so it doesn’t surprise me that she grabbed a Kindle bundle and a comfy cardigan to get a good read in during the day while preparing for a night out wearing Frownies. Get the 4-1-1 on all of Krista’s top ten here.
I see a theme happening here! Our girl Faith has got black on the brain, and let’s be honest, who isn’t always looking for the perfect pair of leggings?! If you’re a fan of black too, be sure to peep all of her items here.
You can tell by Kristy’s’ top five that she was starting to prep for the upcoming holidays by snagging batteries for electronics. She also always gives the best teacher gifts, so I am not surprised that those candles ended up on her list. Get the scoop on Kristy’s list here.
I was getting an early start on Christmas shopping for the kids. The Echo Dots were an item that were already number one on the kids’ lists. The gymnastics bar was by far the best deal I got, and I wasn’t going to pass up on it! Good thing, too, because it sold out so quickly! I also grabbed a couple items for the house and, of course, for myself as a ‘reward’ for all of my hard work during the two-day sale! See a roundup of my list here.

Ah, the good ol’ classic jeans and sweater combo! This versatile look is great for any get-together and can be worn for many different occasions. Throw on some faux leather booties to complete the look.
If you’re looking for that full-on holiday spirit, try an “ugly” sweater over a slip dress! This will definitely get party guests talking, and who doesn’t love a good conversation piece?! Finish your outfit with a pair of red western-style boots to really make it pop.
Show everyone you mean business with a long plaid blazer! Pair it with jeans and a simple turtleneck to keep the look classic, but wear over-the-knee heeled boots to dress it up a little more.
A ruffled sweater is a flirty and feminine holiday look! Wear it with black jeggings and heels to keep the outfit sleek and sexy.
If casual chic is your vibe, style a cozy crewneck knit sweater with a slip skirt! The cheetah print on this one makes it extra fun, and for that final touch of fashion-forward style, complete your look with heeled combat boots.
Show off your edge with a vegan leather skirt! This asymmetrical skirt paired with a turtleneck sweater and matching faux leather booties is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy.
If you’re feeling classy and elegant, you can’t go wrong with a tiered maxi dress and sparkly heels! The tie waist on the dress and the bow details on the shoes bring this outfit together nicely.
This satin wrap dress will have you all wrapped up like the gift that you are!! This is a simply stylish holiday look that can be paired with heels to keep it feelin’ fancy.
This dress draped in layers adds tons of dimension to your holiday look, but it’s also ideal for hiding that bloated belly after stuffing your face with that fourth helping of dessert. Pair it with pointed-toe lace-up heels and get ready to eat!
Nothing says “holiday season” quite like a dress full of sparkle and shine. This sexy sequin dress will turn heads and make you feel like a star! Finish this look with a pair of strappy heels and let the dress do the talking.

The leaves are falling, the crisp air has arrived, and the season of goodies is upon us. October through December have multiple holiday events – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and more, so that means classroom parties, various events, and the creation of goody bags, baskets, and more! Since my youngest daughter’s birthday is in October, I was invited to read a themed book, bring in a snack, and hang out with the class, and I used the opportunity to create pumpkin-themed buckets for her whole class! See our Halloween goody bag inspiration below.
My daughter turned five and is in Pre-K, so I kept it fun but still simple with a pumpkin theme: pumpkin buckets, themed cups, straws, glow sticks, and most importantly, snacks!
The snacks were fun – I found a lot of pumpkin-themed snacks like Entenmann’s pumpkin flavored muffins, gogo squeeze apple pumpkin spice applesauce pouches and decorative fun Skinny Pop popcorn bags.
I kept it pretty simple with Mott’s tots apple juice boxes, but I also ran across Swiss Miss pumpkin spice hot chocolate and just had to add it in. I read the book 10 Little Pumpkins, and the kids were super excited about their snack which was fresh fruit salad in waffle cone bowls topped with a dab of whipped cream – a healthy sundae!
Kristy is room mom for her daughter’s class this year, so of course she got right on her duties of helping to plan the first classroom party planned for October. She went straight to Target’s Hyde & EEK Bootique for plates, napkins, games and more goodies. She’s planning on serving slime punch in cauldrons and using festive food trays for snacks.
“You’ve been Boo’d” – yep that’s right, Kristy created Boo Bags for her kids’ classrooms! She took small clear gift bags and filled them with a bunch of fun little festive toys and a bunch of yummy goodies.
The options are virtually endless with what you can fill them with. Mini play-dohs, bubbles, the classic spider ring and themed pencils. I’m sure no matter what you come up with, the bags will end up being super spook-tacular! Happy Planning!
