Bridesmaid Proposal Ideas

Nowadays, there’s a proposal for everything. Jumping on the proposal bandwagon are bridesmaids proposals; asking your best gal pals to be at your side on the big day. And if you’re looking for the perfect way to ask your girl squad if they’ll join you down the aisle, here are some fun ways to do that with ease:

Host a Bridal Brunch

One clever way to “propose” is to invite your girlfriends to a brunch at a local restaurant or in the convenience of your home! Now, you can either tell them what the brunch will be for right off the bat, or you can completely take them by surprise while sipping on mimosas! Your gal pals will not only find this as a fun way to enjoy the big announcement, but it makes for quite the memorable gathering leading up to one of the biggest days of your life!

Personalize a Gift Box

Another great way is to ship a proposal present to each member of your “bride tribe.” The box (which you can either make or buy online) can be filled with a variety of items that either are a few of your favorite things, wedding day essentials, or some items with your potential bridesmaid’s name on them. Just imagine how excited they’ll be when they open their proposal gift in the mail from you! 

Take a Girls Trip

A new wave way to pop the bridesmaid question is to take your girls on a trip and ask them while you’re away! This is another wonderful way to make the moment not only personal but to make it extremely memorable! Your girls will be in awe and will deem it as the best bridesmaid proposal ever!

Is It Okay to Wear White to a Wedding?

One of the most timeless questions on every wedding guest’s mind is the following: “Is it okay to wear white to a wedding?”. While there are some conflicting views on the subject matter, there are some things one should think about before settling on an all-white ensemble. So, before you rush to buy that outfit, take these points into consideration.

It Could Be a ~Distraction~

There's a chance that wearing white will spark a party-wide conversation about your white frock. Many believe that it’s “wedding taboo” to wear white if you’re not part of the couple getting hitched, but there are some that are willing to take the chance or jazz up the outfit with another pop of color — which leads to our next point.

Accessories Won’t Mask the Color

Weather it’s a bright pink clutch or a stunning pair of red bottom heels, there’s no getting around the fact that you’re wearing white at the wedding. Unless the outfit has a another hint of color in it already (not off-white, of course), rocking a white frock will stand out no matter how many layers you add to it.

There’s No Official Rule, But…

While there isn’t an official rule book on what can and cannot be worn to a wedding, fashion columnists highly frown upon the trend, stating that wearing white could come off as poor wedding etiquette. If you’re going to choose something to wear as an attendee on the big day, opt for something that’s as far away from white as possible!

How to Vist Splish Splash on Long Island Like a Pro

If you’re tired of visiting your local swimming pool and need another way to cool off, then Splish Splash is the answer! Known as Long Island’s number one water park for the past 26 years, it’s no surprise that locals are still flocking to Calverton to get a chance to ride the slides! Now, if you’re planning on visiting the famed water park, here are some pro tips to take into consideration.

Consider the H2Go Pass
One of the latest perks that Splish Splash has to offer is the H2Go Pass. Think of it in the same regard as Disney’s FastPass/Magic Band system: this pass holds your place in line and will tell you when to come back and ride it without waiting around! This is great to have on hand, especially if you’re looking to go on some of the more popular options! Each day, the park will have a limited amount of H2Go Passes for purchase — so it’s essential to get there before the box office opens to snag one of these passes!

Think About an All Summer Dining Pass
Another great investment to make if you frequent the park is the All Summer Dining Pass! This unique opportunity allows guests to gain up to one combo meal, per visit, all summer long. With dining options such as Tony’s Italian Feast, Pink’s Famous Hot Dogs, and Kowabunga Kitchen, to name a few, you’ll have your pick at these incredible eateries on site!

Rent a Private Cabana
While riding water rides all day is a blast, you might feel the need to take a break from time-to-time. In that case, it’s best to rent a private cabana! The cabanas that Splish Splash offers can accommodate a variety of party sizes and are the perfect way to have a “meeting place” for your group if anyone gets lost.

What are the Best Gifts to Give to Newlyweds?

Hooray, you’re invited to your best friend’s wedding! Although the joyous occasion is months away, now is the perfect time to start planning on what you’re going to get the newlyweds. While you can get them something off of their registry, there are some gifts that are always appreciated — even if they didn't directly ask for them. Not sure what those might be? Here’s are a few timeless favorites that are on every couple’s ~secret~ wish list:

Money

One item that is on everyone’s list (whether it’s asked for or not) is money. Regardless if it’s in the form of a check or cash, money is beneficial for any newly married couple. Not only can money help them pay for the wedding itself, but it can also be used to pay for their bills, honeymoon, and even a house. No matter how much you gift to the couple, they’ll be extremely grateful for the kind gesture!

Gift Cards

If you feel a tad weary about giving the couple money, then you can certainly opt to provide them with a gift card! When it comes to gifting a gift card, the possibilities are truly endless! Now, while you can get a standard “spend anywhere” card, you can also gift the couple a card to a home improvement store or even the grocery store! These will be extremely helpful!

Honeymoon Excursion

Do you know where the newlyweds are going on their honeymoon after the wedding? If so, do you know if there are any excursions or tourist attractions in the area that they might be interested in? If that’s the case, then you can give them the gift of an excursion/experience — which makes for the perfect, priceless gift!

What Can I Do With My Bridesmaid Dress After the Wedding?

Bridesmaids dresses — where would we be without them? Whether it’s for a close friend or family member’s wedding, these dresses are typically something you wear once and then let sit in the back of your closet for the years to come.

While that might be fine for some post-bridesmaids to let their dresses live this lifestyle, there are some that are looking to give their bridal frock a second chance — but how could that happen? Here are some things to consider:

Sell it at a Thrift Store

One of the best ways to make a little extra change is to sell your dress. No matter how old it may be, there’s always a market for bridesmaids dresses. Now, you might be asking yourself: “Who would want to buy my bridesmaid dress?” Well, you’d be pleasantly surprised that some might use the dress for their high school prom, formal affair, or a local theatre company may use the frock for a show.

Have it Altered by a Seamstress
Are you one of the few bridesmaids who was a fan of their dress, but the gown might not be practical for any other event? If so, take it to a seamstress to have it altered! Whether that entails having it hemmed, the fabric dyed a different color, or something added to it, no matter what it may entail, a seamstress will be able to transform that gown into something you’ll use all-year-round!

Pro Tips for Visiting Adventureland on Long Island

When Adventureland is brought up into conversation, do you automatically hear the jingle in your head (“Have some fun for everyone, Adventureland!”)? Regardless, the legendary theme park on Long Island is home to timeless attractions and billows of fun that are completely unmatched anywhere else! If you’re looking to spend some fun, quality time with your family one day this summer at the park, here are some pro-tips to consider before heading there.

Arrive to the Park Early — Especially on the Weekend
This really goes without saying, but the earlier you arrive at Adventureland, the better chance you’ll have of finding a parking spot in their lot. The park is extremely popular — and if you go halfway through the day, you might have a tough time finding somewhere to place your vehicle.

Pay One Price (P.O.P.) is the Best Option

When you visit a theme park with your family, do they tend to go on all of the rides? If that’s the case, then it would be best to look into a Pay One Price (P.O.P.) for the day! Unlike tickets, which can get lost in your pockets easily, a “P.O.P” is a bracelet (one per patron) that will let you go on an unlimited amount of rides for the day! However, just keep in mind that you’ll want to keep the “accessory” on your arm during your entire visit — since you can be denied ride entry if it’s off of your wrist.

Always Check the Park’s Event Calendar

You’d be pleasantly surprised at some of the events that the park has going on throughout the summer! And if you’re not sure what day to go, the park event calendar will be of great use! From magic shows to special holiday events, you’ll find out everything you need to know just by taking a glance. A good pro tip to know? Some days include B.O.G.O. options for the Pay One Price (P.O.P.) bracelets — which is a wonderful opportunity for those that plan on purchasing them for multiple family members!
