Wedding season is creeping up quick, and that means a few things: Yes, endless “research” for what to wear to a spring wedding, dreaming up the perfect bridal shower theme and, you guessed it, bachelorette parties (AKA the the fun part!). If you’re hosting a bachelorette party this season, amp it up by taking your glassware to a super festive level. Whether you’re upcycling glasses that you already own or jazzing up a new set, a little paint, glitter and gold foil are sure to kick ’em up a notch. Get ready, ’cause your wine/shot/pint/cocktail glasses are about to be as pretty as the bride.
DIY Floating Glitter Tumbler
Tumblers are a necessity for any day of the week, but they’re especially needed for the bachelorette party you’re throwing. Snag a basic photo tumbler or travel mug and fill the clear compartment with glitter and water. Screw the two pieces together and you’ll be ready to pour in your favorite cocktail in no time.

DIY Glittered Champagne Flute
It’s a par-tay, which makes glitter a must. Pick up a set of plastic champagne glasses at the party store and use Mod Podge to create glitter stems. After you let them dry, they’ll be ready for the night. Cheers to glitter! (via Pretty My Party)
DIY Etched Glasses
Looking for a classy option? These etched glasses are super fun to make and add a simple-yet-unique touch to your glassware. Etch the bride’s initials on a whiskey tumbler or add a geometric design on stemless champagne flutes. Either way, your guests are about to be seriously impressed by your creativity. (via Brit + Co)
DIY Polka Dot Highball Glasses
When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with polka dots. All you need to do to create this look is punch holes in a sheet of vinyl. Then, stick it on the glass and swipe on a coat of glass paint. Carefully remove the vinyl and let your DIY shine. (via Front + Main)
DIY Color Block Frosted Tumblers
Tape off sections of your glass and use a foam brush to press on the paint. This blotting method gives it a frosted look that’s super chic. They only take a few minutes to DIY, and it doesn’t get any better than that. (via Vicky Barone)
DIY Straw + Message Bottle
Whether you’re bottling your favorite creation or picking up your favorite spritzer, custom labels and patterned straws can make a serious statement. Just download your favorite printable or hand-lettered print, DIY a cute label and cut some ribbon to tie everything on. (via Style Me Pretty)
DIY Mid-Century Mod Cocktail Glasses
Buying mid-century modern glasses can be a little on the pricey side. Instead, make this starburst glassware for a budget-friendly option that’s ideal for a millennial’s bachelorette party. Use an X-ACTO knife to cut stars on painter’s tape and use it as a stencil to paint on the liquid gold leaf. (via Palm Springs Style)
DIY Tassel Wine Charms
One reason to amp up your glasses for the bachelorette party is so that you don’t pick up the wrong drink. See? It’s totally necessary. If you’re running low on time or don’t want to buy a new set of wine glasses to DIY, make these wine charms as an alternative. Plus, they’ll definitely come in handy for this party and the rest of your bashes this season. (via Sugar and Charm)
DIY Marbled Glassware
Your huge (like, actually giant) collection of nail polish is about to seriously come in handy. Use the same technique that you would to marble your nails on the bottom of plain cups. For this DIY, snag a set of glass cups so you can clean up the edges with acetone. Pro tip: Plastic cups don’t mix well with nail polish remover. (via Makeup.com)
DIY Gold Leaf Cocktail Glasses
Gold foil is having a moment, and there isn’t a single person out there who’s mad about it. Put yours to good use by gilding clear glasses to create a brushed effect. The more imperfect, the better, so there’s no need to worry about making them precise. (via Kelli Hall)
DIY Pastel-Dipped Wine Glasses
Found: The DIY that you can do when you’re running super behind. If you’ve found yourself preparing for the party the night before, but still want to add a unique touch to your glasses, dip your wine glass stems in paint, let them dry and call it day. (via Boulevard Pink)
DIY Sprinkle-Dipped Glasses
Instead of buying a new set, dip your existing champagne glasses in sprinkles to give them a festive vibe. Yep, your hunt for the DIY that’s practically free is o-v-e-r. Bonus points are awarded to anyone who adds the adorable gumball drink stirrer. (via Bloom Designs)
DIY Gilded Stripe Glasses
You can never have too many tumblers. Buy a set of simple clear ones and paint on your favorite design. Painter’s tape is going to be your BFF because it makes doing these stripes *super* easy. You can reuse these glasses at every party you host this summer. Score! (We See Rainbows)
DIY Photo Wine Glasses
Instead of hanging a wall of photos at the bachelorette party, add them to the bottom of simple wine glasses. After the party, you can either send them home as favors for the bridesmaids or gift them to the bride so she’ll never forget the night. (via Brit + Co)
DIY Gold Confetti Tumblers
Confetti is totally necessary at any party, but if you’re not in the mood to clean up *that* mess, go for these DIY confetti tumblers instead. Stick adhesive dots to a glass cup and spray paint them your favorite color. Once it’s dry, peel ’em off, add your favorite cocktail and finish it off with a paper straw. (via Ernest Home Co.)
DIY Pineapple Paper Cup
Believe it or not, summer is *right* around the corner, and you know what that means? Cue the pineapple-themed everything. Purchase a pack of yellow paper cups and use a black permanent marker to create the pineapple design. If you want to really go over the top, glue on green paper to act as the leaves. (via Simple as That)
DIY Mason Jar Tumbler
If there are two things that we love more than anything, it’s mason jars and gold-dipped everything. Spice up your basic mason jars with a little gilded spray paint and letter decals to make it oh-so fancy. The best part? Your guests can take them home after the night is over, which means you’ve already got the party favors planned too. (via Pretty Providence)
DIY Painted Stemless Glasses
Add a set of stemless wine glasses to your cart to create these unique glasses. Instead of adding Mr. and Mrs., opt for things like MOH or BFF. Also, plastic glasses totally work for this. Hello, budget-friendly DIY! (via Something Turquoise)
DIY Wine + Shot Glass
Why choose between a wine glass and shot glass when you can have both? Pick up a set of plastic shooters and short tumblers and use epoxy to glue them together. Pro tip: Use glasses in the bride’s wedding colors. (via Brit + Co)
Your relationship with your finances is one of the most important relationships you'll ever have, and you can't avoid it. That said, for many of us, the pandemic only added to our financial stress. If you find yourself feeling frazzled, just remember that financial insecurity isn't a net-worth issue — it's a mindset issue. And, we happen to have plenty of advice on how to turn your money mindset around so you can take charge of your funds once and for all.
To start, feeling secure begins with a strong foundation, and there's no better time than now to get started stacking the bricks. It's easy to get swept up in the January "new year, new me" mentality, but really? Any time is the right time to get yourself in order. You don't need to wait for a new year, a new moon, the right moment, or a sign from above. You don't even have to start on the first day of the month — you just need to start.
Introducing NerdWallet: A Safe and Reliable Money App
To help with that, we've put together a list of the just-right-for-you ways that NerdWallet can help you monitor your financial outlook. Haven't heard of them yet? NerdWallet is a personal finance company that helps consumers make smarter financial decisions. Their website and app let you compare different financial products, find articles and tools to make financial decisions with confidence, and keep tabs on your finances (hey there, credit score, I see you!) all in one place. Plus, NerdWallet has over 75,000 glowing reviews in the App Store (and a 4.8 star rating) if you want to read up on any more testimonials.
Tim Chen, NerdWallet's CEO and co-founder, started this financial journey in 2009 after his sister needed help finding a credit card. Even with an economics degree and a Wall Street background, it took awhile for Tim to find the right recommendation (so don't feel too bad when it takes you a while, too). Their mission is to bring clarity to all of life's financial decisions.
So it's safe to say that NerdWallet is a pretty good sherpa for your journey, too.
Get the most from your money
Did you know that the money you park in a savings account can lose value? Harsh, but true. If your money isn't earning interest that's on pace with inflation it will actually be worth less to you in the future. And if the bank charges fees? Forget about it. Make sure you're earning the interest you deserve and come out on top. NerdWallet has researched dozens of financial institutions to help consumers find the best options. The hard work has already been done for you, so you can just select the account that works best for you and your nest egg.
Keep an eye on everything, securely
Once everything is set up, tracking and managing your finances is what will keep the money machine running smoothly. You can create an account either through the site or the app and link your bank accounts, then keep tabs on all your finances in one place. Get a clear picture of your saving and spending, get insights into how to master your money, and even build your credit score all in one place.
Get extra credit points
Do you have the best credit card for your lifestyle? Some cards give cash back on every purchase, ones with travel perks, and ones that charge way less interest than you're paying now. NerdWallet takes the guesswork out of choosing the right credit card with simple side-by-side comparisons of different credit cards so that you feel confident choosing the right one. Whatever you want to do, NerdWallet can help you find the best credit card to get it done.
Know your options for settling down
Mortgage rates are pretty low and it looks like they're going to stay that way for awhile, so buying a home might be the move sooner than you think. But there's so much more to a mortgage than just the interest rate! To help you choose a mortgage lender, NerdWallet has in-depth reviews on multiple lenders in a mixture of categories so you get the home loan with the mortgage rate, term, and fees that's right for you.
Settle an old score
NerdWallet helps you monitor your credit score for free and helps you see how little things (like raising the limit on your credit card or paying your bills on time) can increase your score. NerdWallet partners with TransUnion® to provide your VantageScore® 3.0, based on information in your TransUnion® credit report. Your score and credit report information are updated weekly. But that's not even close to all:
- They provide you with tips from experts on how you could build or optimize your credit score
- You'll get a detailed look at your credit score and all the factors that go into it—your payment history, credit utilization, the age and type of accounts, balances, and any recent inquiries
- The credit simulator tool gives you an idea of how your credit score would change if you applied for a new credit card, closed your oldest credit card, or got a new auto loan
- You also get free, unlimited access to your credit report
When it comes to managing your money, safe and reliable is where it's at. Establishing a healthy relationship with your finances begins when you take control and practice habits that build wealth. Signing up just takes a few minutes. Set your intentions to build a solid financial foundation, it will only strengthen your relationship with your finances. And don't be afraid to get a little nerdy while you're at it.
