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!!

I am not sure which is more memorable: N’Sync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” (May) or Star Wars’ “May the force (fourth) be with you!” Either way, both will be sticking around for years to come, and I am here for them both! Star Wars fans around the globe eagerly anticipate the commemorative day to celebrate the very successful and beloved franchise. See our roundup of Star Wars fun below!
“The belonging you seek is not behind you … it is ahead.”
— Maz Kanata
Super fans or self-proclaimed Jedi Masters all around the world may be gearing up to binge the whole saga for the umpteenth time, but if you’re like me and haven’t technically watched any of them, there’s no time like the present to play catch up on the whole Star Wars collection, which can be found on Disney+ if you have that streaming service!
“The force will be with you…always.”
– Obi-Wan Kenobi
Depending on your skill level, you may also be honoring the day by building a Lego set recreating a memorable scene, character or ship to add to the collection!
“The Force is strong in my family, my father had it, I have it, my sister has it. You have that power too.”
– Luke Skywalker
Is Star Wars a family-wide phenom in your house? Check out some of this family-friendly decor that I came across. Whether the kids are baby Yoda fans like mine, or the chef of the house could use some new kitchen utensils and essentials to cook like a Jedi, or your workspace needs a little boost of the force, there is plenty of themed decor that will not disappoint!
“Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”
– Yoda
If your kiddos are anything like mine, they loooovvvveee books! A favorite collection of mine growing up were the Little Golden Books and don’t think for a second that I don’t get them when I can for my crew! So this May 4th, you can guarantee that we will be reading one from the Little Golden Book Star Wars library!
However you spend the day, just remember to “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” – Yoda and May the fourth be with you all!

St. Patricks’ Day is just a couple of weeks away and we’re ready to eat, drink, and be Irish!! This luck-filled, gold-tinged holiday is not just for the Irish, though. Everyone can get in on the shamrock-themed shenanigans with some fun decorations, cute apparel, and a shimmering green mimosa or two. See our St. Patrick’s Day roundup below and get ready to get lucky!
Decor
Little leprechauns came to spread some St. Patrick’s Day cheer at Kristy’s house and first up was her year-round Christmas tree. Adorned with sparkling shamrocks, glittering green globes, and leprechaun gnomes, this tree is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
The lively leprechauns adorn the mantle as they play peek-a-boo from behind this hand-painted wooden sign. This gorgeous 24″ clock hangs all year long but is definitely worth a mention!!
Bring on the shenanigans! This cute farmhouse-style sign and faux olive tree accented with green beaded garland makes a chic St. Patrick’s Day display.
These sweet wooden shamrocks bring blessings of love and luck. Place a bowl of Hershey Kisses on a lazy susan with these clovers and be ready for whenever you hear “kiss me, I’m Irish!”
If you’ve got kiddos, leave them special St. Patrick’s Day treats from your playful leprechauns. Put a few festive centerpieces on a green and gold tablecloth and decorate with chocolate gold coins, shamrock confetti, and fun St. Patrick’s Day accessories.
Shop Gifts for Kids
And place these little leprechaun footprints around the house so your kids can follow the trail to their pot of gold!!
Libations
It wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without a drink to celebrate!! This shimmering mimosa puts a fun twist on our beloved brunch beverage. Pour champagne in a flute, top with a splash of your favorite orange juice, add a dash of blue curacao, sprinkle in a little gold drink glitter, and garnish with a piece of Airheads rainbow gummies. Sláinte!
Apparel
Whether you’re heading to work, staying at home, or spending the day bar-hopping, grab your St. Patrick’s Day apparel and celebrate in style. Make it funny or keep it cute and classy…your holiday isn’t complete without the appropriate attire!
