Lingerie Bridal Shower Ideas
Planning a party? Don't get your undies in a bunch. Instead, take heed of these tips for hosting an unforgettable bridal shower!
Invitations
A lingerie bridal shower invitation can be anywhere on the spectrum from wild to mild. Here are some ideas sure to suit any taste.
The formal invitation - For a sweet, sophisticated effect, consider the example in the photo below. It's appropriate for guests of all ages and the scripted font adds a touch of elegance. Also, when you arrange the wording against a faded background of lingerie, you have the option of making your invitation as suggestive or naughty as you'd like.
As you can see, even a simple invitation can have a profound impact.

Fun invitations - Have a little fun with your lingerie invites with this idea! The key is to take an actual piece of lingerie – or a scrap of lace or something else utterly feminine – to use for your invitation. Pin a "bedroom" note to the fabric to let guests know where the party is. Here's an example:
Join us for a little pillow talk at
Kate's bridal shower
Hilton Oceanfront
April 7 @ 2:00 p.m.
Choose your favorite and spice it up a little to make the most of your girls night, particularly if it's an adults only affair!
Decorations
Decorations will make or break your party, so don't hide under the covers when it comes to your lingerie bridal shower decorations! Here are some ideas to set the mood for a celebration.
Damask glass tealight holders have a flirty chic design that immediately brings to mind black lingerie and bedrooms. Arrange them on low tables and invite guests to gather ‘round on oversized pillows for a truly intimate affair.
Paper parasols add a feminine touch to any setting. Flirty and elegant, they'll look great as decorations and double as party favors when the bridal shower ends.
Think satin and lace! Find sheets of fabric to hang on the walls or to double as table décor. Fabric remnants are inexpensive alternatives, plus you might find some surprising pieces to compliment your party plans.
To further define your party space, use soft lighting and coordinating colors. Balloons and streamers are playful, while taper candles and flowers have more sophisticated flair.
Food
Nosh on one of these surprising or sophisticated treats at your lingerie bridal shower. There's nothing like something unusual or unexpected to make your party rock!
The cake is always a focal point, and you can count on your guests checking this one out! To make your own, cover a sheet cake with white frosting and pink sprinkles (or use another color of your choice). A simple border dotted with flowers adds a delicate touch. Once you have the cake decorated, add a lingerie-clad fashion doll to the top and add a dressing mirror and a gown to complete the scene.

White filigree cupcake wrappers hold more than cupcakes! Add nuts, mints, small candies, or finger foods for a "lacey" effect on almost anything you serve.
Undress your food. Cut foods into small triangles (a sandwich into quarters, for example) and arrange them on plates or serving trays to resemble underwear. Two triangles with the points up will pass for a bra, while a third centered a short distance below them with the tip down makes a remarkable pair of panties. Use thin strips of string cheese to connect the "bra" in the center or to add bows to the "sides" of the underwear.
Another option is to serve aphrodisiacs to stick with the bedroom mood. Oysters, chocolate, and alcohol top the list of guilty pleasures and are sure to strum up a little girl talk and a lot of fun!
Games
What's a party without games? These lingerie bridal shower games are sure to earn a laugh!
Skivvy decorating. Check out the cookies in the photo below, then go make some of your own! Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut the bottom off before baking the cookies. Then turn the shapes upside down and you've got a fine collection of fannies in need of covering! Have a few bags of icing out so guests can draw underwear onto their cookies. The best one wins the prize.

Party table topics is a fun way to get to know your girlfriends a little better. With questions about the perfect man and the best way to go about gaining ten pounds, there's plenty of laughter to go around!
Have a lingerie swap! Ask guests to bring a new piece of lingerie to throw into the mix and go around the room, taking turns pulling out a garment. If guests like what they get, they keep it. If not, they can trade with anyone who has already chosen lingerie. Even if you're happy with what you choose, watch out. Someone may trade with you before the game is over! The game ends when everyone is happy with their new lingerie.
If else fails, a lingerie themed party is just begging for an old fashioned game of truth or dare!
Party Favors
Don't send your guests home empty handed! Consider one of these ideas for lingerie bridal shower party favors before you call it a night.
Girls like to look good, even in their lingerie! Mini purse shaped manicure sets are the perfect take away gifts, but for more fun hand them out at the party. A manicure is even better with friends!
What goes better with lingerie than jewelry? Hook your girls up with diamond ring key chain before they hit the road, and they can drive home in fabulous style!
Try a brocade change purse – your guests might find one to match their favorite lingerie! These satiny smooth silk purses are beautiful, practical, and just as much fun to give as they are to receive.
