Panty Raffle - UPDATED... success!!

Jameena, on July 29, 2017 at 2:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 55

So my bridal shower is today and my sister let me know she planned a panty raffle with my guests (similar to a baby showers' diaper raffle, bring a box of diapers to enter a raffle for a prize... my guests are bringing panties to enter the raffle for a prize *clutches pearls*).

I'm a bit of a wild one so being tacky does not phase me but I can't help but think about the reactions that will partake at today's festivities!!! Especially my mother in law!! What do y'all think?

My sister told me the prize was a spa getaway and gift card to a restaurant... I wish I could enter the raffle myself!!!

Wish me luck! Gotta go clean out my panty drawer haha

    So, I don't like when bridal and lingerie showers mix. To me this is a bachelorette/lingerie shower thing and I wouldn't want to do it at typical bridal shower. That being said it may also mean you're about to have open lingerie in front of FMIL and Mother anyway because if I was told there was a panty raffle I'd assume it was a more lingerie/sexy stuff type of shower than the typical bridal shower.

    I'd talk to your sister and maybe one of the guests to prepare yourself either way.

    I feel like this game perhaps shouldn't be played with FMIL and your mother attending the shower... it's not exactly appropriate.

    @augustlaw that's what I told my sis! I thought this too but my FMIL is so funny! I texted her to see if she would be ok and she said she wants to win! Lol

    @hisbeauty I was thinking it may not be appropriate, but I think it just depends on the guests

    @ambrok thanks girl Smiley smile

    Personally I would be mortified if my mother and FMIL attended my shower and this occurred. There's just certain things a mom doesn't really need to be involved in.

    I think it's a great idea with a awesome prize attached. People are so stuffy these days as if a smile or fun will throw them back a couple years. If you have to hide who you are from your fmil and future new family members then you should rethink the whole marriage. My bridal shower is this evening also and I am planning on having a dam good time so you should do the same.

    @hisbeauty aw man!!! I think it definitely depends on the person and relationship. I'm very close to my FMIL and I just have a super free personality. I understand how some could be mortified though....

    I have never heard of either a panty raffle or a diaper raffle but it sounds classy. I have been to lingerie showers before and they're fun, hopefully there's lots of food and booze at yours.

    This sounds like something for a bachelorette party, not a bridal shower. *cringe*

    She said she's waited too long to not have fun! It's going to be a good time, to the maximum power

    I really hope my guests won't cringe, they are a fun bunch! I think my sister did it for the bridal shower because my bachelorette will be considerably smaller than the bridal shower. Like 3 or 4 people small, lol

    @Jameena-I had a GF do a lingerie shower instead of a big wedding shower and it was fun. Her mom was there and she was so much fun! If they are the kind that will enjoy it, then it will be a fun night.

    My mom would absolutely laugh it off, me however would be so embarrassed. Now this is something I'd totally do with friends! Smiley smile hope you have fun!!!
