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!!

Jeans – they can be your best friend or your worst enemy! Finding a pair of denim that fits well, feels good, and is on-trend is like finding a diamond in the rough. We’re here to do some of the hard work for you though. Krista hit the stores to try on some of this season’s hottest styles and she’s sharing her honest reviews with all of you! See our spring jean styles roundup below.
Express Baggy Jeans
If you’re on the internet at all, you know baggy jeans are definitely back in style. The slouchy, “too cool for school” look isn’t for everyone though, and I didn’t love the way these looked or fit. These ran TTS, but they were longer than I would’ve have wanted.
Old Navy Midrise Boyfriend Jeans
A classic straight jean with a little distressing! I ended up buying these…they felt great and ran TTS. They weren’t overly baggy, and I was impressed with the look and fit!
Express Belted Jeans
Back to baggy!! These had a cute a little jean belt to give them extra flair, but I just couldn’t get on board with the looser fit in the legs. These were extremely long, but fit TTS in waist.
Old Navy Wow Straight Jeans
These slim straight jeans were not a favorite of mine. They were too bunchy and baggy at the ankle and fit a little tight in the waist.
Old Navy Cutoff Jeans
These high-waisted cutoff jeans were another winning pair! I had to buy them – I loved the fit and the color and they felt amazing on.
Express Bootcut Jeans
I really wanted the bootcut jeans to work – these are a dressier style that are cute for work or for date night! But this particular pair was sooo long and had a lot of stretch. *sigh*
Old Navy Cuffed Jeans
At first I didn’t really like these cuffed jeans (I thought the cuff was a little much), but looking back at photos, I wish I got them and will go back to get them at some point. I think they would be great for spring. *unfortunately this style isn’t in stock on the Old Navy site anymore, but a cuffed jean is a trendy look this season!
Old Navy Flare Jeans
These flare jeans could definitely be sized down. They were huge and very stretchy and very long.
