Back in the old days, bridal showers were real June Cleaver/Donna Reed events (for those of you too young to get the reference, Google it....). Somebody writes down what the bride-to-be says when she opens each gift, because that is what she'll say on her wedding night. Someone else keeps all the ribbons and makes a bouquet that is used at the rehearsal. And everyone makes a big deal out of the third 4-slice toaster, just like they did the first two.
Fast forward to the modern era. Woman are now in charge of their own lives, and actually have a purpose beside carrying for their husband. Getting giggly over every little double entendre has lost its appeal in a time when people are comfortable with their sexual nature.
The bridal shower is not about the gifts. It is an event of community, where friends and family of the bride-to-be gather to honor her, and wish her well in the new phase of her life.
So how do you go from an event that reinforces the old domestic-goddess attitude, and is instead a celebration of both the emotionality and physicality of the modern woman.
How about a Sexy Bridal Lingerie Shower?
Once you decide to throw tradition to the wind, make it clear that the shower is for sexy bridal lingerie in the invitation. You can find some great invitations for sexy bridal lingerie showers online, or you can get creative and make your own. Just be sure the invitations are clear that gifts are to be some form of sexy lingerie.
You’re probably asking yourself if a sexy bridal shower is a good idea when you think about the bride-to-be’s mother or Aunt Edna. You have several options if you are afraid some guests might be offended or embarrassed when surrounded by sexy or erotic lingerie.
One is that you can ask the bride-to-be’s opinion. Her mom may not mind a bit—in fact, she may enjoy it as much as anyone else would! Another is to limit the shower invites to women you know would enjoy buying and giving sexy lingerie. In other words, the sexy bridal lingerie shower could be limited to close friends of the bride-to-be. The third is to say the heck with it, and just invite anyone you’d like and refuse to worry about anyone’s reaction. After all, they can decide not to participate in the sexy bridal lingerie shower if they feel uncomfortable with the idea – but not many people do.
Setting the tone for a sexy bridal shower can be exciting and amusing. Give over to your wild side when it comes to thinking about decorations and games. Again, the Web is a great source for erotic items that would make terrific decorations for a sexy lingerie shower. You’re sure to find some enticing games as well.
Any time you give a shower of any kind, people are going to ask you for suggestions for gifts. If you’re giving a sexy bridal lingerie shower, you’re going to get those requests, to be sure, so plan ahead.
First of all, learn the bride-to-be’s size! It won't do her any good to receive erotic lingerie that doesn't fit, so get her size for lingerie, bra and panties. Next, you’ll want to do some research into great online sources for everything from all-out-sexy bridal lingerie to elegant bridal lingerie to naughty bridal lingerie. Pass on the websites to friends and relatives for their shopping convenience.
Having online bridal lingerie shops to browse will put your shower invitees at ease if they’re a bit hesitant or embarrassed about shopping for bridal lingerie of any kind. If you aren’t planning to surprise the bride-to-be with a lingerie shower, you may want her to do some browsing and compose a wish list for her guests to choose from so she gets just the lingerie she wants.
Finally, the big question: Do you tell the bride-to-be or surprise her with a sexy bridal lingerie shower? The best answer to this is if your friend is the least bit shy about intimate matters, you should probably warn her first. If she’s a bit of wild child, don’t tell her. Maybe she’ll love the idea of a erotic lingerie shower, and, besides, if she does enjoy a walk on the wild side once in a while, she’ll appreciate a thong more than she would a spice rack any day. You may be surprised to find out Aunt Edna does too!
