How to Plan a Bridal Lingerie Party

An upcoming wedding is the perfect opportunity to throw a lingerie party. Not only are these events fun and memorable, but the bride-to-be will come away with lots of sexy lingerie for her wedding night and beyond. A lingerie party is easily adapted to either a bridal shower or bachelorette party format. If you've got a friend who will be getting married soon, you should learn how to plan a bridal lingerie party.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Paper invitations and envelopes
• Party decorations
• Bride-to-be's address book
• Stamps

Plan a Bridal Lingerie Party

1. Find out if anyone else is planning to give the bride-to-be a party. Ask her friends and relatives. If someone else has already started to plan a similar party to yours, you may want to either cancel your party or plan a different sort of party for the soon-to-be newlywed.

2. Decide on a theme. Bachelorette and bridal shower themes are common for this type of party. Also decide whether the party will be only slightly risque or absolutely X-rated. These decisions will influence your party planning.

3. Choose a lingerie consultant. If you already know one, great. If not, you can find a lingerie company that does home parties online and ask them to refer you to a local consultant. You can find a list of lingerie companies online at HomePartyPlanNetwork.com (see Resources below).

4. Invite your guests. These will naturally be the bride-to-be's friends and family. If you need addresses to send invitations, ask her mother or sister (or the bride-to-be herself, if the party is not going to be a surprise). Send out invitations at least two weeks in advance.

5. Arrange for entertainment. Bachelorette lingerie parties are often venues for entertainment of the male stripper variety. If you are throwing that kind of party, book your entertainment early, around the same time you send out your invitations.

6. Plan a menu or hire a caterer. Either way, you need food and drinks for your hungry guests. Make the decision whether to prepare the food yourself or hire someone else to do it based on your own budget and time considerations.

7. Purchase decorations that reflect the theme of the party. You may go to a party supply store, wedding supply store or an adult toy store to find appropriate decorations for a bridal lingerie party.

Tips & Warnings

• Rather than having guests bring gifts, ask the bride-to-be to create a wish list from the party's lingerie catalog. Then, have guests purchase items from the wish list at the party. It's an instant registry and your guests will know for certain that they are giving the bride something she wants.
