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!!

White is a classic color for graduation, but this dress is anything but classic. The asymmetrical hemline, deep v-neck, and stunning lace back make this white dress a fashion-forward, sultry graduation look!

If you like the idea of a white dress but want to show off a little more of a sweet personality, this floral-print dress with mesh cutouts is a gorgeous option.

This deep emerald green dress is a classy, sleek look for graduation. The ruched waist adds a nice bit of dimension!

An elegant black dress with an asymmetrical hem and low neckline is a subtly sexy look for the big day.

And for a fun twist on the LBD, we love this dress with a lace back detail and a two-tiered skater skirt!

A flared skirt gives a lot of flirty movement, and this beautiful purple dress also has an alluring lace-up back to give it some extra flair!

Graduation day needs a little sparkle and shimmer! This rose gold-sequined bodycon dress is an eye-catching and unique option for your ceremony.

This pale pink, almost-nude dress is definitely a little risqué, but the chain strap details and the bowtie back add an element of youth and playfulness.

Another pretty pink option! This one brings beaded fringe and a high slit to an otherwise plain look so you can shimmy and shake your way across the stage!

Sequins + ombre = a perfectly on-trend graduation dress! You deserve to shine in the spotlight and this dress will help you do just that.
