What is a Lingerie Party?
A lingerie party is an event themed around lingerie rather than more traditional motifs.
Differentiate two general types of parties: a themed-gift event (every gift should be some type of lingerie), and a fashion show (where different male and female models display items and guests can place orders for their favorite garments). This kind of party is a great gathering for individuals who may want to experiment with sexier apparel, but who do not feel comfortable doing so through traditional shopping methods. Of course, such racy parties are not for everyone, nor are they appropriate for every event.
- Lingerie parties can be unique bridal showers or birthdays for women mature enough to appreciate them.
Choosing the Guest List
Not everyone will appreciate a lingerie party, and before settling on this theme it is wise to consider who will be attending. Bride-to-be should enjoy the event, but if her bridal shower will involve her mother, grandmother, and potentially conservative relatives, the party will be more uncomfortable than celebratory.
Consider some guests may feel awkward participating in a party for a young woman, while other may simply find it too delicate a subject to be a party theme. In that case bachelorette party or more private event may be more suitable. Consider if the scope of the party is more closely related to a fashion show, always notify guests about the ultimate purpose (buying lingerie), so they can decline if they are not interested.
Lingerie for the Guest of Honor
For a gift-giving lingerie party, the key to success is choosing a range of lingerie suitable to the guest of honor. Since these types of events are so specialized, it is best to ask if they would enjoy the theme before surprising them with a potentially embarrassing situation. And if they are enthusiastic, the coordinator should gather some basic information before proceeding.
