Do Moms still give, and do Brides still wear "penquior sets"?

I've never heard of a penquior set, but I do remember seeing the feathery toed heeled slippers of my mom's when I was a little girl. She never wore them but probably still has them. I think you should give this to her as a gift! I live with my fiance but don't have any of that pretty lengerie because it's impractical for me to buy for myself. and those nice things can be romantic for a couple who may have already gotten used to the everyday together.

I haven't heard of this and I would have found it awkward for my mother to get me anything even vaguely resembling lingerie for my shower.

Spelling is Peignoir btw

Oh, I don't find it awkward at all. It's just an old tradition that I'm guessing has faded out. But when I got marries-and all my cousins before me had once, kind of a right of passage. It was perfectly normal but; it was also for a true wedding night.

Maybe like Suzanne said, give it to her privately as a gift? We also used to shop with our Moms for our "trousseau"! Clothes and other things we would wear on our honeymoon. It all had to be new!

Miss to Mrs. Awe.......that's so touching. I'm sure we'd have a giggle or two as well!

Sorry about your Mom. Mine is gone to, 17 years ago! But I still miss her like it was yesterday. I could sure use her help on this one!

My friend's mom did this- but not at the shower; she came to the beginning of the bachelorette party and had mimosas and lunch with us while my friend opened all her lingerie-y type presents and some sexy gag gifts- her mom got her a lingerie/ nightgown set (I didn't know it had a proper name.) It was from a more conservative part of Victoria's Secret and really cute actually; if you're comfortable doing that, I say go for it.

My mom searched high and low for a set, and couldn't find one to give me. I would have loved it if she had, but I love keeping with (especially fun) tradition.

It's a lovely tradition that should not be lost! Go for it!! My mom did it for my sisters and will be doing it for me. She tried to pick something that mathes our personality. And even if it's not worn on the wedding night. It's a nice add on for the honey moon ;-)

Giving it out at the Bachelorette party would be good. I would explain how everyone used to do this and you wanted to carry on the rite of passage because it was something memorable for you when you got married. That's pretty cool!

Well, I still have my peignoir...from 1973! Yes, it was tradition for your mom to give you the peignoir, to be worn on your wedding night. Nothing about it says "lingerie". haha

Mine is a long white nightgown, flowy material with lace at the bottom of the sleeves, and tiny buttons at the neckline, and came with the matching robe. Every department store had a collection of these sets. Back then they were considered a bit sexy, but by today's standards, they're quite mild. Hmm, maybe I'll wrap mine up and give them to my daughter at her shower. Could be her "something old"!

That's a great idea to do it then, before the bachelorette. I did the whole trousseau thing with my mom. It was fun and such a great memory. I'd like to do it with her, if she wants me and my health allows~I'm pretty sick.

We just got home from looking at dresses at a local shop. After drying on about 14 dresses, yes is said 14! And her top two were the first one she tried on and the other was by the same designer!! She has three other stores she wants to go to.....oh my!

KTSMOM, that's so funny. The description of yours sounds just like mine! I think there were a few styles that the big dept. stores carried and that was it. That's hilarious about giving it to her as her something old!!! And you are right it was not sexy at all, rather very delicate and innocent. I got married two weeks before I turned 20.......I was a vary young bride! Still in Nursing school. And the distance was jut too much, so in between junior and senior years, we were married. Lots of girls got married young back then. It was pretty much unheard of. And if you lived with your boyfriend~omg, it was scandalous! So very different till now.

I know exactly what you're talking about!

Unfortunately, my mom died two years before my wedding, so that didn't happen. But after she died we had to clean out her house - and we found all of her wedding prep stuff - including a list of who gave her what for her wedding. Not only did her mom give her a set, but so did her grandmother!

Edited to add: I went to a shower not too long ago, and the groom's mother bought the bride LOTS of racy lingerie. She simply said, "I want grandchildren and this might help." Lol.

I got mine from my FMIL at my shower a month ago. She got it at Macy's. I love it!!!!! I would do it if I were you. A friend of mine got hers from her mom and SIL at her bachelorette party, and I was so hoping I would get one!

I've never heard of this but it sounds like a cute tradition to continue!!

I think it sounds like a fun tradition too! I've never heard of it, but would like it if my Mom gave me something like that and explained the tradition behind it.

Surprisingly I have seen this done at two different showers! One was about a year ago.

I would love to receive one at my shower, but that is me and my style is a little 'vintage' so I would wear something of the sort where I know most women in my age group wouldn't.

Knowing my family and their gag gifts I'm expecting to receive some skanky lingerie at my bridal shower lol.

How old is the bride?

Perhaps a more 'modern' version would be suitable, something short and with a sheer robe?

I refuse to remind my mother of the tradition. I'd likely get one with cows on it and matching fuzzy slippers.

Seems like one of my sisters had a lingerie shower and she got lots of nighties. (no crotchless or anything like that, but some teddies and nighties)

My nana got my mother on when she got remarried when I was 11. My grandma did the same for my aunts when they got married. People still do this; I actually received one from an older woman I worked with for my first wedding years ago because no one had gotten me one and she said that was unacceptable lol. I didn't find it odd all but I could understand how some might feel that way.
