Wedding Wednesdays: Longing for Lingerie

If the newlyweds-to-be are all set with kitchenware and bath towels, skip the traditional bridal shower for a gathering of "intimates" instead. Yes, we're talking about those nighttime negligees! For a lingerie shower—aka lingerie party—guests are explicitly asked to gift the bride with sexy or sweet undergarments, slinky robes, massage oils or other romantic accessories. The lingerie party allows the bride to be pampered with beautiful pieces for her wedding night, honeymoon and after!

This can be a more laid back affair than a traditional shower, and it only works if the bride is game for the idea—and if her guests wouldn't turn their noses up at or be embarrassed by  a party with a sexy theme.

Where Should the Lingerie Party Be Hosted?
When planning festivities focused on unmentionables, location is key. That may mean hosting the party in the bride's or a friend's home, but maybe not at her future mother-in-law's. Another venue option is to bring the party to the intimates. Teddies for Bettys hosts private lingerie parties where the girls pick out lingerie for the bride to try on while everyone sips on bubbly. After she's picked out the winning sets, the party comes together to splurge on the bride!

Lingerie She'll Love
A couple's bedroom is a lot like Vegas—what happens there, stays there—making it difficult for guests to know the right gifts to give. As the event hostess, it's up to you to help set the tone and provide guests with the info they need. Consider taking a trip with the bride to a lingerie store in advance of the party.

While you're browsing with her, note if she's more into classic underthings or items that are a bit steamier. This will help you pass on shopping tips, along with her sizes, to guests. To save the bride from having to return gifts or a drawer full of lingerie she'll never wear, buying an everyday lacy bra and panty set never fails. For the budget friendly purchase, one size fits all thongs or a massage stone and candle are great. Again, something we all need and want!
