Lingerie parties are becoming more and more popular with women as a theme for party occasions. Why just have a bridal shower, when you can make it a bridal lingerie party? Imagine the fun if your next birthday party includes a lingerie fashion show! Why organize your friend's bachelorette party at a strip club, when you can have sexy lingerie party with your friends at home?

What is a Lingerie Party?

A lingerie party can be any type of party where the center of attention is lingerie. A lingerie party does not necessarily mean that all of your guests must wear lingerie. It can be a simple event where a lingerie boutique representative shows lingerie to you and your friends. Or a lingerie party can be a daring and wild girls’ (or even couples’) get-together. If the guests are willing to model lingerie, this will add fun and adventure to the lingerie party. But if you or your friends will be uncomfortable with this you can simply look at and discuss the lingerie. It is up to you to decide about this. But whatever you decide it is important to somehow communicate your idea of the evening in the invitation.

A lingerie party can be created around a certain event, such as your or your friend’s upcoming wedding. Bridal Lingerie Showers are gaining more and more popularity. A lingerie party adds an excitement factor to the shower and give the bride-to-be an opportunity to get ready for many passionate nights to come. Alternatively, you can have a lingerie party just for the fun of it. Just create a theme such as: Glamour Models Lingerie Party, Carnival Lingerie Party, 1001 Arabic Nights, St.Valentine’s etc. The theme will determine what kind of decorations you should use to set up the atmosphere as well as your selection of food and games. Games at the lingerie party can have lingerie theme or not. Most important they should be fun and include prizes. No matter how old we are, we all like to win prizes.

Where do you begin? Start by deciding who will organize the lingerie party. Will you do the organizational work yourself? Will the work be shared with your friends? Or will you bring in someone more experienced? There are many ways to organize a lingerie party:

Collaborate with a Boutique: One option is to invite a representative from a local lingerie boutique to present their lingerie at your lingerie party. Your guests can enjoy shopping for lingerie in the comfortable atmosphere of your home while enjoying a cocktail or a glass of wine. They can look at the presented lingerie and buy what they like. Often, you as the hostess will receive either free lingerie or a discount from the lingerie boutique or party company. How do you find a boutique willing to come to your lingerie party? Simply ask a few. If you expect 10-20 participants, many smaller boutiques will be delighted to attend.

Do It Yourself: Another option is to not invite the boutique but to ask your guests to bring with them their favorite pieces of lingerie and be ready to model them at the lingerie party. Many people will prefer this approach, as there will be no pressure to buy lingerie.

Hire a Consultant: Many people make their living organizing events such as lingerie parties. Party planners or party consultants can often be found by simply doing a google search. While this may be the easiest way to go, it will also be the most expensive. Consider this option if you are short on time, but long on cash.

Casual Lingerie Party: You can also invite your best girlfriends to go together on lingerie shopping spree and finish it up with an impromptu lingerie party at your place where you can all share your excitement about the newly purchased pieces and perhaps even model them for each other. Perhaps you can call a pizza delivery service or offer your friends some chips and beers or whatever you have on hand. This is the minimalist approach for those who prefer not to organize or plan parties in advance, but to simply be spontaneous.

Unless you are hiring a consultant to do the planning for you or you are being spontaneous and doing no planning at all, we suggest you start planning the lingerie party with choosing your lingerie party type and lingerie party theme.
