Beautiful Bridesmaid Dresses on a Budget

Being part of a wedding party is an exciting honor, but it’s also an expensive one. With shower gifts, bachelorette festivities and everything in between, accepting a role as a bridesmaid is also accepting a big hit to your wallet. One thing that doesn’t have to be pricey: the bridesmaid dresses. There are so many options that are simple, stylish and, yes, affordable. Whether you’re the bride picking out matching frocks for your besties or a maid of honor gently advocating for more affordable bridesmaid dresses, check out these fabulous and frugal finds.

Scarlett Sleeveless Empire-Waist Dress

Lace cap sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and an empire waist make this dreamy little dress a classic and super-flattering choice. And at $90, bridesmaids can wear it once and then ditch or donate without guilt.

Melrose Sleeveless Embellished Fit-and-Flare Dress

Since this dress is available in multiple soft hues, bridesmaids can mix or match down the aisle for just $65 a person. The crisscross embellished top slims, while the mid-length flare skirt flows beautifully on all body types.

Tricks of the Trade Maxi Dress

Look like a Grecian goddess walking down the aisle in this versatile and stunning number. At only $80, it’s like getting four dresses for the price of one, since it can be wrapped and worn multiple ways (as a one-shoulder, cross-front, strapless or halter style). The jersey knit hugs and flatters curves, and, better yet, each bridesmaid can choose which configuration suits her body best.

Falling for You Maxi Dress

A stunning rusty-rose color and sheer straps that overlay a strapless sweetheart bodice make this cascading gown a dress to remember — at a bargain price of $91.

Flare Dress With Pockets

Navy is a classic choice for bridesmaid dresses, and this retro-inspired number is a reserved but playful (can you say “pockets”?) choice. The bateau neckline and gathered high waist exude ceremony-worthy sophistication, while the flare bottom screams party time! Best of all, you can justify the sensible $119 price tag, since this re-wearable frock will never go out of style.

Faux-Wrap Midi Dress

Easily dressed up for the big day or toned down for work, this bright midi dress is equal parts fun and practical — and for $58, it’s a steal you can wear again and again. Plus, the faux-wrap style cinches waistlines for a more flattering fit.

Sequin Lace Gown

This elegant gown features an intricately embroidered lace bodice with sequin accents and a sheer illusion neckline and back. The vibrantly deep eggplant purple is not for the wallflower bridesmaid, but at just over $100 it’s a lot of dress for not a lot of money.

Sweetheart Lace Skater Dress

Discount bridesmaid dresses don’t have to be frumpy or unflattering. Available in blush, navy and burgundy hues, this adorable crochet skater dress is simultaneously sweet and sexy, flirty and fun — all for less than $50.

How to Keep It Cute at a Mardi Gras Party

There’s no better way to get through a long and dreary winter than with an all-out bash. Fortunately, Mardi Gras is just a couple of weeks away! We bet you’re excited for a little self-indulgence while catching up with friends, and we want to make sure you look great while cutting loose. If Mardi Gras costumes aren’t your thing, check out these tips on how to create a fun yet fierce look while getting paid to shop. Be the life of the Mardi Gras party while keeping your style on fleek.

Head-Turning Party Dress

When shopping for Mardi Gras party clothes, always consider the tone of the party. If it’s a more formal affair, a purple cocktail dress with added details is always a good choice. With this gorgeous dress from ModCloth, you’ve got movement, texture and a killer color — all the ingredients needed to turn heads. Since the dress is a solid color, you now have the freedom to accessorize with green and gold. Green pumps and gold jewelry would pair perfectly, but you can also go bold with gold lipstick or eye shadow.

Punched-Up Casual

If the event is a house party or small gathering, casual Mardi Gras outfit ideas can still be chic and exciting. Your favorite pair of jeans will look amazing with a gold sequin top like this one from Charlotte Russe. Try pairing it with a green cardigan or blazer, and throw in a purple headband to complete your color combo. Now you’ve got a more laid-back look that still steals the show.

Handmade Mask

Not all Mardi Gras outfits require a mask, but if you’re shopping for one, either go big or go home. Spend a little extra cheddar on a quality handmade mask. You can find plenty of styles and colors on Etsy for less than $20! Plus, you can reuse it for Halloween or display it on your wall as a conversation piece.

Bag Those Beads

You may be tempted to incorporate those iconic plastic beads into your outfit. Don’t. They’re not only cheap and plastic, but it’s also in bad taste to give them to yourself. Throwing beads is a Mardi Gras custom, so it’s better to have them handy and give them away. Once given to you, go ahead and rock them all night long. After all, it’s a party!

Save, Spend, Splurge: 90s Fashion Staples

If you find yourself longing for the time when you were part of the young echoing choir commanding, “Here we are now. Entertain us,” you are clearly not alone. 90s grunge still roars in the hearts of millennials and Gen-Xers just as loud as it did 20 years ago and 90s fashion throwbacks are here to wake up your inner riot grrl. From deep shades of matte lipstick to gothic choker necklaces, we’ve got all your 90s style staples with Cash Back at Ebates. Plus, we rounded up options in three different price points because going back in time shouldn’t bust your budget.

NYX COSMETICS Liquid Suede in Vintage, $6.99 | NARS Pure Matte in Volga, $27 | Christian Louboutin Velvet Matte in Eton Moi, $90

No 90s makeup look was complete without a rich chocolatey brown or deep wine lip. Make sure you go with a matte finish with staying power that will keep your MOTD intact for a long night of shoegazing to Morrissey songs.

Cross Pendant Choker, $3.99 | Whitely Choker, $28 | ‘Asa’ Choker Necklace, $75

We think it’s safe to say that if life was The Craft, most of us were Rochelles just trying to be a Nancy. Channel that “take no prisoners” goth queen with a black choker that goes just as well with a casual tee as it does with piles of black lace.

Juliette Floral Swing Dress, $20 | Coming Up Posies Swing Dress, $46 | Maggie High/Low Dress, $98

A floral swing dress was so universal back in the day. The preps and punks alike found ways to make it their own. Just make sure to go dark and flowing to make it definitively 90s.

Carmen Slip Dress, $35.99 | Topshop Crisscross Strap Slip Dress, $55 | Topshop Back Zip Midi Slip Dress, $90

Sexy, slinky and perfect for summer, slip dresses go beyond the boudoir to create a simple yet striking everyday look. Go pastel for pretty and prim or dark for a vampy evening look.

Combat Boots, $7.89 | Hanging by a Tread Boot, $54.99 | Dr. Martens ‘1460 Mono’ Boot, $124.95

Of all the shoes trends of the 90s (remember flatforms?), combat boots stood the test of time the most and are still a basic staple for a variety of styles. But we’ll always remember them as the perfect combination with sun dresses for a flirty-meets-fierce outfit.

Which of these trends are on your must-have list? Let us know with a comment below!

Dorm Room Decor Essentials to Create an Inspiring Space

When it comes to the college experience, it is hard to overstate the importance of dorm room décor. The classic college dorm room is usually cramped, awkward and short on privacy, but one thing it does offer is a blank slate for self-expression.

5 Tips to Hosting the Perfect Tea Party

Tea parties are a great way to gather up friends for a fun afternoon of stories, laughter, drinks and food. Whether you’re throwing a baby or bridal shower or just want an excuse to get everyone together, hosting a tea party is exciting and enjoyable for all ages. But as fun as they are, they do require a bit of proper planning. No worries though – we have all the tips, tricks and must-have items to throw the perfect tea party! When planning your event, don’t forget to search for promo codes and deals at Ebates to save more and earn Cash Back on all your tea party purchases.

Issue the Invitations

When planning a tea party, the formality of your event will reflect in the formality of your invitation. If you want a traditional English tea party, opt for handwritten invitations on a tea card. Or get in touch with your crafty side and print them out on floral stationary and decorate with lace or pearls. If you’re new to throwing an afternoon tea party, keep it small, inviting three to five guests.

Set the Table

Since you’ll be sitting at the table as you drink your tea, make the table shine. Set down a white linen or lace tablecloth and arrange a fresh bouquet of flowers in the center of the table. Let your own personality shine through when decorating. Make sure to arrange the treats and teacups ahead of time. Use tiered cake stands to elevate the table and maximize space. And don’t fret if your tea set doesn’t match! Mix and matched china allows for a fun and modern look. Or you can invite your guests to bring their favorite tea cup to the party and ask them to share what makes the cup special to them.

Arrange the Treats

The main emphasis of the party is of course the tea, but snacks are equally as important! Opt for snacks that don’t require being served warm, such as finger sandwiches and scones. Serve biscuits with jam or channel your inner baker and make a cake (or tiny cakes!) for all to enjoy.

Present the Drinks

Offer your guests an assortment of hot and cold tea. You can opt for one tea pot full of boiling water presented alongside tea bags and another pot with your favorite tea already brewed. Don’t forget the tea essentials such as lemon, sugar, honey and cream. You can even include orange or lime slices, fresh fruit such as raspberries and strawberries or fresh herbs like basil and mint. This will allow your guests to try new things and share their favorite combinations. For iced tea drinkers – make fun ice cubes! Add an edible flower or lemon zest to the ice cube tray for a little surprise.

Enjoy the Party

In the end, whether you serve your tea on a silver tray or just brew up some iced tea, enjoy your tea party. It’s a wonderful way to bring people together and enjoy one another’s company!

Tea Party Essentials

To enjoy your lovely afternoon tea, you need a few essentials. This stoneware teapot from Lord & Taylor is simple and elegant but is also microwave and dishwasher safe. If you plan on brewing tea leaves, you’ll want a tea strainer to serve to the perfect cup. Adding a cute sugar bowl and a pink tea set to the table completes the look.

Tantalizing Teas

Having a variety of tea available for your guests allows for a delightful afternoon. A hearty black tea like this form from Adagio Teas is a great addition for a morning tea party while a chai tea adds a bit of sweet and spice to the mix. Mix it up with interesting flavors like a tropical green tea or herbal tea, served with garnishes.

Delightful Decor

Elegant decorations really add to the tea party atmosphere. Arrange your treats on a two-tier cake stand or serve them on doilies for a classic look. These tea invitations from Etsy will get your guests excited for the party. Don’t forget to set down a lace tablecloth before decorating!

Finishing Touches

While it’s not necessary to dress up for a tea party, there’s no denying that it’s part of the fun! Carry a white lace parasol if your choose to have a garden tea party in the sun and add lavender gloves to perfect the look. Tea hats are all the rage and this emerald fascinator from ModCloth will be one you’ll never want to take off. Or opt to keep it simple by adding a jeweled broach to your favorite dress.

The Art of the Thank You Note

Imagine coming home from a long day at the office. You’re tired, your feet hurt and your mailbox is full of bills, catalogs and other forms of junk mail. But nestled in between all those coupons and ads is a small envelope with your handwritten name on it. A thank you card. In the age of texts, tweets and emails, this is a joy to see. Taking the time to say “thank you” in the form of a handwritten note can make any day full of stress end on a joyful note. Whether you want to buy some beautiful stationery or DIY your own notecards, here’s a few tips and tricks on the art of writing a thank you note this holiday season. We also picked out a few of our favorite thank you note sets that you can get with Cash Back at Ebates.

1. Make It Stand Out

Grabbing a piece of copy paper, scribbling the words “thanks” and throwing it in the mail doesn’t cut it. Yes, it’s the thought that counts, but put some effort into it to really show your gratitude. Your aunt spent four hours making those cookies that you love. Your sister stood in line for 45 minutes to pick out the scarf you’ve been wanting for months. And your co-workers remembered what your favorite flowers were. Having your thank you card stand out among the junk mail makes the recipient eager to open it. Even hand-made cards get major brownie points, showing that you went above and beyond with your effort.

2. Be Specific

When saying thank you, make sure to include what you’re thanking someone for, whether it be the gift you received or a kind gesture they’ve shown you recently. Let the person know how you felt receiving the gift and how you plan to use it or how it will make a difference in your life. This shows that you’re not just sitting down and signing thank you cards generically and shows their gift or gesture has not gone unappreciated.

3. Add a Special Touch

If the situation calls for it, adding a special touch to the thank you card can really bring a smile to someone’s face. Whether you want to add a small gift yourself or simply write a meaningful quote, make sure to address it so that it will not be overlooked or misinterpreted.

4. Send in a Timely Manner

Delivering a thank you note, whether through the mail or in person, should be done within a week or two. The sooner the note is delivered, the more of a priority that person appears to be. A thank you note a month or two after the gift or gesture can come across as an afterthought, which doesn’t make the person feel special at all. And the goal of the thank you note is to show your gratitude and appreciation!

Take your time in writing thank you notes, regardless of how tedious or unnecessary it may seem. It truly makes a difference. And if you’re thinking of buying stationery instead of making your own, here are a few suggestions we have for you!
