Lingerie Themed Bridal Shower
♫ Monday, April 11th, 2011One of the most important duties that the bridal party has in preparing for a wedding is throwing the bridal shower. Bridal showers can incorporate themes or be more traditional. One very popular theme is to have a lingerie bridal shower. A lingerie bridal shower means the all of the guests; bring gifts for the bride that are to be used on the honeymoon. This is, of course, a “for women only” event so it is usually okay with everyone in attendance. If anyone is, they may opt out of the gift giving portion of the party and that could be an issue. So it should be made clear on the invitation that the theme of the party is a little risqué.
Another variation on this theme is to have someone showcase sexy gifts at the party and instead of the guests bringing gifts; they can purchase items for the bride to be at the party. Be clear with your representative how and what they are expected to do. Most are pretty good at what they do and won’t come across as raunchy or too pushy for the sale. This type of party is only for those who are not easily embarrassed by the subject matter, so it must be made clear on the invitation that it is a lingerie party with erotic toys. You must also keep in mind that older women may be in attendance so if that is the case things should be kept tasteful; remember this is a bridal shower not a bachelorette party. Sexy lingerie, scented candles, lotions, creams and massage oils are tasteful and appropriate gifts.
The invitation should be appropriately themes. A card cutout of a sexy lingerie outfit or a clipart drawing of a sexy lingerie set is a nice touch to carry out the theme. The décor of the room should also give the impression of a sexy boudoir. Candlelight is always a good way to set the tone for a lingerie themed party. Big comfy chairs and pillows also work well to set the mood. The food depends on the time of day, finger foods usually work well; and, for a lingerie themed bridal shower, chocolates are a wonderful aphrodisiac and a perfect choice for this type of theme as a snack or to take home as a gift.
