Feeling insecure about my lingerie shower...

I didn't have one of these for that reason. All I can say is good luck lol

Lol it makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone in this at least...thanks Janeen haha

I'm with Janeen.

I don't think you can have it without opening them though! Your guests will be so disappointed.

I think you need to get over yourself

Now if your mom or FMIL are there at the shower... then yes that is super awkward.

I'm having one, all the girls know my taste. They know I don't want overly sexy shit. But I do expect some cheetah pieces.. and some comfortable things too.

How do they know what size you wear? I'd feel super weird having someone tell all the women I know my bra size!

We usually put it on the lingerie shower invitation

We drank A LOT prior to opening gifts at mine. By the time I opened any presents, we were so sloshed, it was hilarious and no longer embarrassing. Highly suggested.

Maybe you could do your lingerie shower/bachelorette party combined and have a separate "normal" bridal shower with your family?

Ugh Staci I know! I was a guest at a lingerie shower recently and I would have been so pissed if she didn't open the gifts. Now that I'm the bride I have a totally new perspective lol.

And thanks Lauren, I do have some months so I bet the feeling will probably relax on its own, but it helps to hear this. And hopefully after 23 years with me the girls will know what level of sexy I'd be comfortable with. Thanks.

I'll make a note that if you're traveling to your shower, you may want to check your bag of presents on the way home. TSA confiscated a couple items of mine...that wasn't embarrassing or anything to have TSA pulling out crotchless panties and gummy dicks one by one.

I get that it can definitely be weird. I would think it would be ok to not have to open everything in front of them? Unless they want to play a game, which almost always involves the outfits.

Omg lol MrsMoralestobe

I was at my FH cousin's wife bachelorette party / lingerie shower. She's very religious and there was no alcohol and besides maybe four people, everybody was above 50, and it was still fun. She didn't get crazy stuff, mainly VS stuff. We did some lingerie out of toilet paper before and even though it was not my kind of party, nobody was embarrassed about the lingerie. You'll be fine

PK - yeah the lingerie shower invitations normally include it. I do feel weird about that lol. Plus like Janeen said in another thread, I don't even actually know my bra size haha. I need to get actually fitted at like Nordstrom or something. -__- I always just wear what I can find that works and it's hit or miss.

MrsMorales HA! Understood.

FutureMrsDelpra - I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

MrsMorales HAHAHAHA just saw your latest comment

Are lingerie showers a normal thing? I have not heard of these, only bridal showers. I wouldn't want to do that with my family, then again my family is rather, uhhh repressed/conservative. I don't think I would mind so much with my friends as a pre-bachelorette party event though. But it would be hard I would think to get things in your correct size.

Thanks Corinne, that really helps.

Rachel - it's such a weird tradition right?!? I'm super excited to *finally* own grownup lingerie lol but when I think about telling people my bra/underwear size and basically inviting them to go buy me underwear.....sooo weird.

I hosted a lingerie shower a few months ago and the FMIL and MOB were present. The FMIL got her long pants and long shirt pajamas to wear...

Pinguino, yeah, at least in my experience they're very normal. And you're right about the sizing :/ But there's a lot of lingerie stuff that will fit as long as it's in the general right size range, and there's always gift receipts to turn to for exchanges I guess...

I would not be comfortable opening things. That being said, I went to one for my now aunt when I was 10 or 11 with my mother. And it was super awkward, especially since she was sloshed and pulling things out and I was young and asking my mom what they were.
