I only got one pair of undies for my shower and I was a bit disappointed, I'm not going to lie. I love cute underwear, LOL! I think it's pretty normal to get lingerie at showers, I wouldn't get freaked out. And I'm pretty sure your FMIL knows you guys have a sex life, don't worry! ;)
My work does this too. I have no idea why co-workers think this is appropriate.
I have requested... no, begged, my co-workers not to throw this kind of shower. If it's all they want to do, just sign a card instead, I'll be MUCH happier.
I would rather not think of my co-workers while getting hot and heavy with my FI, thank you very much!
ETA: Close girlfriends holding a "lingerie shower" fine. I can deal with that. But CO-WORKERS?
Now Lingerie Showers are the rage. Just tell your co-workers, who are giving the shower, to be tasteful and just have fun w/ it.
In my circles, it's pretty normal to get lingerie for bridal shower gifts...LOL. My sister got quite a lot of it at hers. I admit that I was sneaky and included her size in the invite and asked people to keep it a secret. The look on her face was priceless. Of course she tried on every piece of lingerie OVER her clothes...LOL.
I don't own any lingerie, would be mortified if one of my showers did this....
eeeep!
We always give lingerie as gifts at the bachelorette party - never heard of getting it as a shower gift. Hmmmm......
I think this is actually the traditional thing to do. I can understand being weirded out by it though.
The new thing is a lingerie shower but I've never been to one, but I have seen the bride get lingerie at every shower I've gone to.
We do bach party/lingerie showeres all the time! But I have never seen lingerie at a regular shower.
I went to a shower last summer where every single guest except me bought the bride lingerie, including her mom and her FMIL! I was embarrassed for her; I guess I'm a prude, lol.
Can you have the hostess call and explain to guests that it's not a lingerie shower? Or she could make up a theme (like "kitchen wares") and call all the guests pretending like she forgot to put in on the invitation? Then, you wouldn't have to worry about your co-workers buying you lingerie and your FMIL seeing it. :)
It's common. It's called a Personal Shower, and usually is either agreed upon by the bride or the group planning the shower.
Also, it tends to happen more when someone doesn't have a registry.
i was actually really really sad - not one person bought me lingerie for my shower :(
i was hoping for it, i had to go buy my own and that stuff aint cheap!
i've always heard them done as lingerie showers, but i think it pretty common to get them as a bridal shower gift as well - i got stuff of my registry though
I think it's common, but I think, "That's thoughtful, but I'm not comfortable sharing that" is also a fine answer to the question about your underwear size.
This is apparently pretty common- My grandmother even asked me for my measurements!
I was like "Um, Grandma, this isn't that type of shower...."
I didn't get any lingerie at my bridal shower, but one of my friends got a gorgeous satin nightgown and robe from her mother at her bridal shower. I guess this is traditional in their family, and I thought it was a beautiful gift coming from a mother to her daughter.
My MOH is planning my bachelorette party as part lingerie shower, part get tipsy and play games, so I think that I'll hopefully get some stuff then.
We threw a lingerie shower for one of my sorority sisters this past Fall! It was a blast - I've never heard of bringing lingerie to a normal shower, though.... lol
In my circle of friends lingerie at bridal showers is pretty common. My cousin even got a sex swing and assorted sex toys. Be glad if you ONLY get lingerie cause it could be worse. Imagine opening that in front of your FMIL!
@Tswife4ever: Uhh I hate when people give lingerie as gifts when family is invited. NO thank you!! (not to sound ungrateful...)
This is amazing, and makes me very glad that I'm not having any showers. If I get dressed in something fancy, the LAST thing I want him thinking is, "I wonder who gave that to her, my aunt, or maybe one of her coworkers?" LOL!
My girls typically will give lingerie at the bachelorette party....I would be VERY embarassed if it was given to me at a shower (my FSIL gave me underwear and bra sets for Christmas and made me show everything and they all had a good laugh because I was so embarassed...)....
I guess being sweet and kind, "oh thank you for the nice gift," is best in this situation, anything more and they'll feed off the embarassement....
For my first wedding, it was a kitchen or something shower - like NORMAL registry stuff.
Surprise #1 - my mom showed up from the OTHER SIDE of the country.
Surprise #2/embarrassment from hell: she's the ONLY person who gave me lingerie. And it was hideous. And I still get the shakes thinking about it :)
I'm have two showers. First is a bridal shower, second is a lingerie shower. The lingerie one is loosly connected to the bachelorette
Happens sometimes. I went to one where the brides best friend had given her a huge granny panty then when she pulled it out a ton of skimpy thongs dropped out.

So I had 2 ladies from work today ask me my underwear size. I was like, wth? They told me it was for my shower gifts. When I gave them a weird look they told me that for our shower, we are supposed to get lingerie. I thought people gave you gifts from your registry! FI's mom is gonna be there and I will be so AKWARD! LOL. Is this the norm?
