Do prospective brides and already marrieds think it is OK to have sensual photos that may include nude, semi nude and lingerie pictures, taken before she gets married and give these to her groom as a gift? Or will she want him to know about it and help selecting the type of pictures they would like for their keepsake.? How about the groom and even couple pictures? I am a photographer and would like to do some market research. This seems to be as good a channel as any. If I have a positive response, I will include this in my wedding packages. Only serious comments please. No one liners and sarcasm PLEASE!

were really good friends the girl i,m going to the bridal shower and i love to supprise her and she knows i a little fem and i love to dress all the way .heels ,dress ,sunmer hose ,lingerie ,makeup and wig nails done ,perfume on and jewerly .there will be about 12 of us there and the other girls are fun to .

I’m throwing a bachelorette party for my best friend. We have a hotel, and we all bought her a piece of lingerie to decorate the room with. I need some games, activities, ideas.. that we can do before we head to the bar.

Pretty much the only exception is a stripper. We would like alcohol to be involved in some of the activities.

Thanks guys!

I’m throwing a Lingerie and Linen Bridal Shower for my sister-in-law. I’m trying for an elegant lemon/lime/orange citrus decor theme. I need ideas for favors that are inexpensive that hopefully relate to the theme. I’m fairly crafty and could make things myself – I just need some ideas ’cause I’m burnt out on the rest of the party.

My best friend’s bridal shower is Sunday- it’s mostly just family & her wedding party. My first instinct was to buy lingerie? But now I am second guessing it because I don’t want to be embarrassed if no one else buys that- and she would probably be too. Is this common for a bridal shower or not? I just don’t know what to expect!

My best friend is getting married. She’s lived in the area her entire life so she has tons of friends and relatives in the area. Thus, the guest list she gave me for her bridal shower is 70 people. I’m kind of freaking out. My wedding only had 50 guests. Her’s is going to have 300. My bridal shower that she threw for me five years ago had about 10 guests.

We already established than 70 people will not fit in my 1 bedroom apartment, so the shower will be at the mother of the bride’s house. But, as the maid of honor, I’m still in charge of planning (and paying for) the shower. The other bridesmaids either don’t live in town or I don’t know them, so I don’t really have any help. I also don’t know most of the guests so I can’t really ask them to do much.

Estimates I’ve found online average a "cheap" bridal shower at costing per guest. Needless to say, I can’t drop 0 on a bridal shower, even if she is my best friend. I was planning to spend 0, but I also assumed the shower would be 20-30 people…. Even looking at bridal shower invitations at Target is overwhelming me. Yes, it’s only for a 10-pack, but x 7 = . And then postage will be another . just for invitations?!?! I also need paper plates, napkins, cups, forks, flowers and food…. Forget favors… Also games are out of the question, even though she said she wanted to do games. With 70 people it’ll take 3 hours just to open the gifts!! And then I still need to get her a gift!

And then she also asked me to throw her a lingerie shower. But I made her PROMISE that it won’t be more than 10-15 people and we will definitely have it at my apartment. For that one I can bake a cake, brew a pot of coffee and put a vase of flowers on the table. No big deal…. But even that will cost me something. I’ll have to buy paper plates, forks and cups because I don’t own dishes and silverware for 10!

I’m just very overwhelmed. I tried to talk her into breaking in down into 2 smaller showers but she said no because she’s already having another shower thrown by her church so we’ve got 3 showers already and she doesn’t want to be at a shower every weekend this summer.

So…. help! Any advice is appreciated. I know she’s not trying to be a bridezilla, she just really isn’t thinking at all about how much of a strain this is on me. I want to throw her a nice party but I just can’t afford it. I also work full time so I don’t have time to hand-make 70 invitations. I’m also supposed to be hand-addressing the envelopes for her 300 wedding invitations…. ACK!!!

I am the maid of honor in a wedding and I am throwing a bridal shower, lingerie shower and a bachelorette party. Do I give gifts for all of these showers or is the shower the gift? I don’t want to look tacky without a present, but all these parties are expensive. What is the correct etiquette?
The bridal shower was at first being hosted by her mother-in-law, but at the last minute her mother-in-law left her father-in-law and it is a HUGE mess. I took over the bridal shower so she would have one. I was originally already planning the lingerie shower and bachelorette party. The bridal shower is more for the older ladies and the lingerie shower is for the younger ones (more fun).
I don’t mind doing all these parties, I just want to know if I am supposed to give gifts, too?

First, a little background: I’m the MOH. We live in northeast Ohio where a bachelorette party traditionally means giving a bride lingerie. Family gets invited to the shower and friends get invited to the bachelorette. Looking at other questions on here, this seems to be odd regional ettiquete, but it is.

That being said,
I need to send out bridal shower invitations that include a lot of information.
The bride requests NO lingerie. (This is the result of some size issues)
Instead, I want to encourage guests to make a purchase from her honeymoon registry, from the Spice of Life party (this is a lotion and toy company) give to her 50 / 50 and or the Chinese auction.
Obviously I also have to tell them that the Spice of Life party will be held during the bachelorette party.
Also we are planning to go out after the party.
How do I tactfully request the proper gifts and let people know that they may want to bring money (not just a debit card) for these other things, without sounding pushy or writing a book.
The people who are invited to the bachelorette are not invited to the other showers. I know this seems like a wierd regional tradition. I didn’t know it was wierd until I started reading some of the questions on here.

ok so im a brides maid in her wedding and possibly the maid of honor but possibly not so in any event though how many gifts should i give her? like ok there is the wedding its self, the bridal shower and then the bachelorette (cant spell) party. so is that three? and what is custom for each? is there a difference in the gift depending on which it is? im thinkin the bachelorette party is somethin sexy for the honey moon but im confused for the other part…. please help (new to the whole wedding thing)
ok and so for the wedding shower is that a gift for her or for the both of them?
so then u dont get a gift for them at the bachelorette party? and the lingerie is given at the bridal shower?

I’m having a Lingerie Bridal shower on Thursday for my friend who is getting married in September. I will have about 15 girls there, so I need gift favor ideas!! I got laid-off so they can’t cost too much and I would kinda like to keep the lingerie, romantic theme going for the favors!
Any ideas?

BLANK -as a bridal shower gift BLANK- as a wedding gift BLANK – as a "lingerie"/"Baccelorette" party gift.

See how much I know? I can’t even spell Bacclorette lol!

My maid of honor is asking me to put what kind of gifts I would like to receive in my bridal shower invitation. I’ve heard that it’s not "proper etiquette" to list where you are registered in any invitation, but I’ve also heard that times have changed and nobody pays attention to those silly rules anymore. Well, I’m wondering if I do decide to ask for a certain kind of gift, what should I ask for? Isn’t the normal shower gift lingerie? Or is that bachelorette party? I don’t really want to ask for things in my registry?

I am in the MOH in my best friends wedding this May and she has a bridal shower coming up. I know she will be having this shower, the one I host later on and a batcherlerette/lingerie shower I am also giving her. My question is if I will be giving her a gift at each shower, at the wedding and I’m paying for her other shower/party how much should i spend on the shower gift?? I mean she is my good friend but i can’t afford to spend a lot of money on each gift i give her….I also don’t want to show up to the shower with the least expensive gift and it look bad since I’m her MOH. So what are your thoughts??

Thanks girls

I am only asking because I thought a bridal shower is usually for more personal items for the bride only; lingerie, perfume, jewelry, etc. This one is for the couples household items, kitchenware (pampered chef). I feel is is silly to go and purchase an item from this catalog and then buy yet another household item for the wedding. So giving a combined .00-60.00 gift is what I wanted to do. I am not trying to be cheap, but out my husband’s 2 nephews and 4 nieces , there have been 2 weddings and 2 graduations in very close proximity and it is getting expensive. And there will be yet another graduation and possible wedding soon.

1. I have never met her
2. Don’t know if she will be registered anywhere, Wedding invitations have not been mailed.
3. She is marrying my husbands nephew
4. The Grandmother of the groom (my M.I.L.) is also doing the same thing
5. Husband is clueless on this subject

I am attending my first bachelorette party this weekend. I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to bring a gift until the hostess emailed me with the bride’s measurements. I have no idea what to get her! We are friends but have not known each other that long so I don’t know her taste or preferences. What does one normally get the bride-to-be? Is it always a gag gift? Should I purchase lingerie since the hostess included the bride’s size?

I’m getting married next month and when talking to the photographer I saw he had an option for "naughty brides." He said it could mean anything from lingerie, swimsuit, to completely naked. I could have it done after my formel pictures. My fiance is all for it and if I was ever going to do something like this it would be now. I’m still young, work out, and have a professional photographer available to me. What does everybody think of this. How sexy should it be? Ever heard of anybody having this before?

I got quite a few not your everyday goodies for my bridal shower. This included lubes, adult toys and box loads of lingerie and even a penis cake with lots of white frosting at the end lol. I might have expected something like this for my bachelorette party but this was just kind of creepy when your mom, soon to be mother in laws and sisters are there.

Some of the people here are very conservative so I was very surprised. In fact both my mom and my fiances mom gave me a bunch of very sexy, 18 + type of lingerie. Kind of weirded out of wearing something meant to be worn before the act, from your mom and soon to be mother in law.

i’m going to an old roommate’s bridal shower in a week. the theme is "around the clock" (who comes up with this stuff?)

each person invited has to get the bride to be a gift that relates to the time of day assigned to them. I was assigned 4am-so i have to come up with a (creative) gift that she can use at this time.

she has to open it in front of family so no way am i getting her lingerie or sex stuff. she’s very girly and petite, loves her dog, loves country music, likes to be social and party, and can also be a homebody.

i figure at 4am she’s either sleeping or out way too late with her friends! what should i get her?

and who should be invited (do you invite your mom, even though the gifts are lingerie…) and when before the wedding do you do this? – is it wrong to have the shower during the afternoon- then that night doing the bachelorette party?

I have been living on my own for years. I have plates, pots, pans, you name it. I think the whole shower idea is kind of corny, sitting with bows on your head, etc..it’s not me. My mother didn’t have a bridal shower. Actually, when I mentioned it to her she never heard of bridal one. She did have a baby shower though and I plan or hope someone will throw me one for that, but a bridal one seems unnecessary to me. My fiancé at least once a week talks about registering and I have to remind him I’m not registering. Then his mother, who I can do without, started asking me last time I saw her if I was registering. I wanted to say no bc I don’t want a shower, but was just like oh probably not. She then started going on and on about china. I don’t care about china or not having any. I’ve told my fiancé it’s really tacky to be worrying about gifts bc I know that’s the only reason he wants me to have one. I had an engagement party that I didn’t ask for but my family insisted on. Should I just straight out tell people, I have enought stuff and would rather not anyone throw me one? To me, it’s just another gift giving party.
For ED, we live in the north east. I’m not sure where you are from but I never heard of getting lingerie at a bridal shower with mothers and family present And besides tradition, which again, noone in my family had bridal showers, how is this not about getting gifts. Where we are from, people give money at the reception the day of the wedding.
To grammie, unless she is planning on throwing me one, this is none of her business wether or not I have one. This is mine and my fiance’s wedding, not hers.
For the person who said I’m strapped for money, no I’m def. not lol. And I live alone, he still lives at home with his family.

i want to get her something different, but not expensive. do you have any ideas?no lingerie. my price range is no more then

i’ve never been to a bridal shower before, and will be attending one in two weeks. i have no clue on what to get the bride. they already have a house, so they don’t really need any gifts for the home. is it appropriate to give her lingerie like a silk robe and nightgown set? i need some ideas… she’s in her early 20′s

my soon to be single firiend is having a teh divorce is final/reverse bridal shower party..

she is going to wrap up some of her wedding gifts (his/her monogrammed towels, picture frames, champaing glasses, etc) and present each attendee with a gift instead of the attendees giving her a gift

In exchange–the attendees are going to give the host the party favors—-things a single woman would enjoy–like an erotic lollipop..

what we are looking for is some suggestions on party games-

things that would be teh opposite of waht would happen at a bridal shower…..

this will be a coed event….but husband bashing is fair game
lingerie is more for a couples enjoyment-

this party is about her enjoying herself being single and unattached
this is HER idea—it’s a week after the finalization-

if she wants to cancel at the last minute-it won’t be a problem-

but this is what SHE wants to do—’we’ thought it was insane…
it’s not about meeting people

its about celebrating the fact that it is okay to be single–you can be single and happy
i like the guessing who said what about the former groom

I am the maid of honor for my sister’s wedding and I have about three weeks to find a bridal shower gift. I am not considering kitchenware or lingerie. I am a college student and have a part-time job so I don’t really make that much money. However, any ideas would be helpful!

My fiance’s two sisters are not in the bridal party and we’re not super close. I just had my bridal shower this past saturday, they had a great time and got us a bunch of awesome gifts. In the car ride on the way home, they started asking what I’m doing for the bachelorette party and saying "that sounds like it’ll be so fun!", making it sound like it’s implied they would be invited.

I originally felt a little strange about having them there (even though we’re not having strippers) because it’s my chance to have fun, act stupid and get sex toys and lingerie without having them report and misinterpret everything for their brother. (not that I’m planning on doing anything, but it just feels weird to talk about sex in front of my future husband’s sisters!) At the same time, I’m thinking it’s not a good idea to alienate and offend people who will be my family in a month and a half.

Suggestions?
