    OK, I guess I have to clarify a LITTLE. I am the maid of honor for a friend. She is about 38 and requested a lingerie party/overnight for a bachelorette party.


    I am obliging as whatever she wants is fine. What I think doesn't matter.


    Where this is coming from is that I'm getting inundated by OTHER people's opinions and essentially need some decent come-backs.

    I seriously think if it wasn't "worded" lingerie party... everyone would have brought some anyhow, cause that's what ALWAYS happens at a bachelorette, no??

    'I am the maid of honor for a friend. She is about 38 and requested a lingerie party/overnight for a bachelorette party. "

    That's your comeback. Repeat as necessary. Who cares what we think? It's what the bride requested.

    Right? I tried, "It's what she wants, so that's what we're doing." But... I just felt like a total b*tch saying that *LOL*

    What if someone says "That's so stupid. Why would you buy someone else underwear?"



    What would you say to this prude? I mean... person.

    Fuc.k off?

    :smile: Also you could just tell the prude that this isn't about her, and when she has her own party she choose whatever theme she likes.

    Honestly, the way you feel is really weird. And what a bunch of weirdos questioning the bride like that. Is this a real question?

    ^This. If it were one of my friends getting married, the bride would probably tell this person off herself.

    *shrug* I just needed confirmation that it's perfectly acceptable to be hosting such a party and it's NOT f*cked up and abnormal. There was such push-back, that I questions "OK, is this NOT something you would do at a bachelorette party anyhow?"

    And I don't like confrontation, so my feeling like a b*tch there is not unusual (for me). You may find it weird, or me weird... that's just fine :)

    It isn't weird at all and it is a quite common theme/happening for bachelorette parties. Lingerie, penis themed, etc. And even if it were weird, if the bride was on board, that is all that matters.

    If anyone else has a problem, they can just stay home.

    Tell her to feel free to stay home and just send money. You'll purchase something appropriate on her behalf.

    At my friend's bridal shower, I snuck in a few wrapped, unmarked presents, in inconspicuous boxes. I threw them in the middle of the pile. And waited.

    Halfway through opening gifts, she grabbed the three boxes. All wrapped the same. Different sizes. No card. First one had a *kitten* in it. Second one had lingere in it. Third one had a riding crop in it. All in front of her entire family and family-to-be.

    My other friend, we each bought her a pair of undies, made penis cookies, took an inflatable penis to the bars for her bachelorette party...

    Moral of the story? Do it.

    I've been to a couple of lingerie party/ GNO bachelorette parties. Yes the bride will get lots of stuff that is not her usual style. That's the fun of it, to have trashy stuff she might no buy herself to have fun. The fun ladies got invited to this party and the prudes and grandmothers got invited to the bridal shower with punch and cucumber sandwiches.

    I already love you LOL

    Thanks everyone. Seriously, I value opinions and everyone's different opinions. Helps me think outside my little box.

    I said box.

    Observation of the day: Why do you ladies need to "redo" your weddings to get together, consume alcohol, exchange naughty underwear, put on underwear and pillow fight?

    Yes, I also saw she said "little box" ;)

    That is an excellent point. But the most important question is: Is it, in fact, "little"?

    I understand. I am totally fine with being the confrontational ***** when it is necessary, but one of my best girlfriends gets really freaked out by those situations. We feel that our personalities balance each other out in that way. :smile:

    I'm planning our future wedding in another thread too, so you might want to stay out of that one... Wouldn't want you to see me in my dress before the big day.

    I like you.

    I've never actually been to a bachelorette party that wasn't more than a go-out-and-get-****-faced thing. No lingerie, no toys, nothing. I feel a little gipped. Apparently my friends are all prudes and I need new ones.
