I had a lingerie shower the weekend of my bachelorette party and my friends all got me stuff. Far less awkward :)
I got some myself, and FI is buying me some. I'm so excited to see what he gets! Last time I asked him to buy me lingerie or underwear he got me a bra and a few pairs of panties. Nothing spectacular, but the funny part was that he apparently went into the store and asked "Which bra is the most comfortable?" and got me that one! LOL! I told him after "When you have free reign to buy anything you want for lingerie for your fiance, you're not supposed to go for comfort!" I'm hoping he learns this time around and gets me something more sexy, less functional. He's adorable.
his mom gave me 2 or 3 pieces of lingerie for my shower. i was weirded out but they were really cute. my mom bought me one thing when we were doing some honeymoon outfit shopping. also weird, but again it was nice to have.
@bakerella: HAHA which bra is most comfortable? That is so cute.
@VirginiaMarie: first your FMIL goes into your room and sees your private toys!, please don't tell me she's bought you lingerie too! :O... lol
i know my bridal party girls have started to buy me lingerie for our bachelorette party, but no female relatives on either side have gifted me lingerie and id like to keep it that way!!!!
@artbee: Yeah, it is weird. Particularly from FMIL. It's nice, very nice. But I don't think I can wear it. Too weird.
@missjyc: No kidding! I am so jealous. I love that other people's family's understnad the concept of boundaries.
My sister (obviously purchased by my mom since she is 13) gave me a nighty & robe at my shower. Everyone wanted me to pass around all my gifts after I opened them, and they even made me hold up and pass around this nighty. I was blushing after opening it and then had to pass it to my MIL. I was so embarressed.
@VirginiaMarie: That's right, I totally forgot about you FMIL's lack of boundaries. You really do need a tv show VM!
My MIL gave me a gift and said very loudly, "just something to wear on your honeymoon!"
the box was empty......ewwww
VM: could you return the lingerie your MIL got you and exchange it for something else. Would that help the creepy factor?
Well, I am still pretty far out so no one has brought me any yet. But, I know that my Mama will and my Great Aunt has already told me that she will. lol
@stlginkgo: I am in tears at your story! That is so creepily hilarious!
I'm not near that point yet, but I do recall my mother getting my sister a pair of white panties for her honeymoon. They were lace, but beyond granny. I'm going to ahead and call them bloomers. Mom couldn't fathom why nobody would want to wear them.
I didn't vote because I haven't gotten to that point yet as our wedding is still a couple years out, but this thread reminded me of when my oldest brother got married.
The first Christmas after my brother and sister-in-law got married, my grandmother (who is known for super religious and/or completely weird and random gifts) gave my SIL a gift box which contained something (I don't remember now) with a note that said something along the lines of "to keep you cool" and also a lingerie set with a note that said "to heat you up." It completely grossed both of them out and it was never used because my brother said it just made him think about our grandmother. Hahaha...there is no telling what weird thing she will come up with when I get married. Our family just calls them "Ma-maw gifts" and conveniently tends to "forget" them at our mom's house until she ends up putting them in her storage room.
Everyone who attended my bridal shower so practically everyone in his family, his mom's friends, my friends and coworkers, his mom's coworkers...MIL planned the shower; my mom lives 7000 miles away so noone from my family. I got all sorts of trashy stuff and crazy sex toys too! I have enough wild lingerie now to lead an S&M lifestyle for a few months :D
2 of my friends bought me lingerie for my bachelorette. Well one bought my something blue panties that are lace and the other bought a whole get up. Then I bought a set on my own because I know what looks best on me!
I've gotten lingerie from my friends, my sister, and his sister (all at my bachelorette, which included a lingerie shower brunch). At first his sister was weirded out by the lingerie thing, so my sis who was planning it said she didn't have to participate, that she could get me cute jammies or bath stuff, but she ended up buying me lingerie anyway! Said she found something cute and let go that she originally found it weird. I will have no problem wearing it. I feel like when it's time to put it on, my mind's PROBABLY not going to be on his sister -- and ditto your FMIL!
At one of my friend's bridal shower, the groom's grandma gave my friend a leopard, see-through nighty, with matching thong, and cookbooks. She told my friend that if she wanted to use the cookbooks, then she had wear the lingerie while she cooked. It was hilarious, but so, so awkward. Hahaha... love grandmas. :)
eh, don't be embarrassed ladies! if family members get your lingerie it means they have an open mind, so we should too. I did not get lingerie from anyone on his side of the family HOWEVER his mom got these funny decorative ceramic balls with letters on them for me. She got one of each letter for his last name and you put them in a vase or in a box of sand or something as decoration to spell out the word. At first i didn't know what they were, they were so odd! She wrapped them up along with a shallow bowl to display them in and (this is at the shower she threw me) she says (in front of everyone) "It's your bowl of balls! A Bowl of Balls!!" LOL!!!! EVERYONE died laughing, it was so funny!! SO, the moral of my story is, forget "boundaries". There are things that everyone knows about and to keep them behind closed doors is a farse.
My girlfriends are going to throw me a lingerie shower the night of my bachelorette. We've done them for everyone so while a tad awkward, not nearly as bad as mom!
I am so nervous about getting lingerie at my shower. I'm a very shy/private person and would be totally embarassed to open that kind of gift from ANYONE. The only people I would feel comfortable getting that from would be my close friends at a bachelorette party (but not at the shower). I seriously hope my fiance's mother doesn't get me anything like that (that happened to a good friend of mine.. AWKWARD!). There should be some sort of wedding "good will" where people can donate the lingerie that their FMIL gave them because it will never be worn otherwise lol. Or a lingerie swap meet. haha

Who has gifted you lingerie for the wedding/honeymoon?
Perhaps I'm too private of a person, but I am so weirded out by the amount of lingerie I get from his family. Gross!
