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!!

Beauty queens unite!! If you’re a makeup maven, you know it’s crucial to have top-quality beauty products in your cosmetics collection. For the beauty beginners, picking the perfect products can be overwhelming and intimidating. But not to worry! If you’re looking to add a few items to your supply or you’re beginning to build your beauty kit, we’re sharing some of our favorite affordable and effective hair and makeup products below.
1 Pesky pimples have met their match with this drying lotion. Beat breakouts with this fast-acting formula by dabbing a small amount on surface blemishes and letting it sit overnight.
2 This lip mask hydrates, repairs, and protects dry, cracked lips. It’s comparable to Laneige products, minus the price tag. (Pro tip: Our beauty queen Kristy and her darling daughter love this lip treatment so much, they actually wear it all day long!)
3 For silky smooth, barely-there coverage, this CC+ Cream evens out skin tone with its color-correcting formula and even has added SPF for extra protection.
4 These makeup erasers are magic! Simply add water to the reusable cloth and wipe makeup away in minutes. The mini 7-day kits are a favorite – use one eraser per day and then throw in the wash, and you’ll never have to use the same one twice in a row.
5 Get fresh, radiant skin with this microdermabrasion machine. The exfoliating crystals remove dead skin and the vacuum suction activates skin for a gorgeous glow. Use regularly (once a week) to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and enlarged pores.
6 The Olaplex obsession is real. This collection of hair products repairs, protects, and strengthens, giving you shiny, soft-to-the-touch tresses.
7 Pucker up and show off your pretty pout with this marjuca juicy lip gloss that plumps lips and adds just a hint of color. Bonus – it smells delicious, too.
8 One step in your skincare routine that should never be neglected is using a toner. This witch hazel facial toner with aloe vera and cucumber will cleanse and calm skin while reducing irritation and balancing pH.
9 Use this blow-dry spray to drastically reduce blow-dry time and protect your hair from heat, reducing breakage and damage. The lightweight formula also smooths and softens, giving you healthy-looking hair.
10 You won’t be able to live without this #1 concealer. Say bye-bye to under-eye bags, imperfections, and fine lines and wrinkles while nourishing skin with natural ingredients.
11 Get gorgeous, look-at-me lashes with this amazing false lash effect mascara. Define and separate lashes while adding dramatic volume and length, and bat those pretty eyes all day long.
12 This rose quartz cleaning tool is an all-time favorite! Dual-sided, the rubber bristles deeply remove impurities by breaking down dirt and oil from within the pores, while the rose quartz heats up and helps products absorb beautifully and effectively into the skin.
13 For luscious lips, use this squalene and rose lip balm that moisturizes, smooths, and plumps. The nourishing balm is long-lasting and ultra-hydrating.
