Ideas for lingerie theme bridal shower?

Question

I will appreciate any suggections esp concerning Food and Decor! thanks!

The colour scheme is red and black

Answer 1

If you are looking to host an elegant party, stay away from p***s cakes!  I would have this party in the evening if possible.  Have a martini bar and any finger foods you like.  Decorate with beautiful satins and lace.  Have really beautiful flowers and lots of candles for a pretty glow. Give a $10 gift card to Victoria's Secret as a "door prize".  Good luck and have fun!

Menu Ideas:

Mini Meat Pies:

wonton wrappers

shredded cooked chicken

chopped water chestnuts

thinly sliced green onions

chinese 5-spice  powder to taste

Combine the chicken, water chestnuts, green onions, and 5 spice.  Fill the wonton wrappers with a spoonful of mixture and seal the edges (a little water on the edges, fold in half, and seal with a fork).  Bake until golden brown.  Serve with a dipping sauce (blackberry jelly, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil)

Caprese Skewers:

on bamboo skewers, alternate grape tomatoes, mini mozzarella balls, and basil leaves.  Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sprinke with salt and pepper

Fruit Kabobs:

on bamboo skewers, alternate pineapple chunks, strawberries, and grapes.  Serve with a dipping sauce of sour cream and brown sugar

Champagne Punch:

2L bottle cream soda

1 large bottle white grape juice

1 bottle champagne (use a 2L bottle of ginger ale for a non-alcoholic version)

Combine all and serve chilled.  Frozed grapes and strawberries make a great garnish that keeps the punch cold!

Oh, and don't forget the cake (please, not a p***s shape!)

Invites can be made into the shape of a bra with pretty lace embellishments and pretty writing in a metallic ink.

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 2

Well you could decorate with lingerie and I would have a p***s cake and long foods like carrots, sausages, cucumber slices, etc.

Answer 3

my sisters wedding colors are red and black too :)

decor: a p***s pinata filled with lingerie,

balloons

Make goodie bags for all the guests, maybe include edible undies and fun stuff like that.

Food: Apps: spinach dip and pita chips (yum), chips and dips, fruit, p***s cake and cookies for dessert, order pizza if you need a real meal, or do a cookout if the party is not huge, otherwise get it catered with finger sandwiches or a platters.

depending on $$ and size of the party.

I like the prize idea too! Play games and give lingerie related parties. But dont avoid the p***s cake!

Answer 4

Get little bustier stickers from the craft store to decorate place cards, or other paper products.  Sometimes you can even find bustier/corset shaped wire centerpieces.  Lace is good too- which you can find in black and red- although then you're also leaning toward a burlesque theme- which could be a nice addition....  Satin, anything lingerie would be made out of is good as far as materials go (for tablecloths, napkins, etc).  And yes- phallic shaped food adds a touch of kitsch.

Answer 5

I would keep things elegant and tasteful.  I would decorate with black and red balloons and some streamers, get some black and red napkins and tablcloths and for the invites you can edge them in black and red lace.  You can do one invite in red and edge it in black lace and then the next one in black and edge it in red lace, etc,  It's a lingerie shower, but if the bride is having her family there, you don't know how they would react to things like a p***s cake and a p***s pinata, especially if there are older aunts and grandmothers, etc. That could get awkward and embarrassing and it would reflect on those giving the party which comes back to you and the bridal party.

For food just go with what everyone likes, whether it be chicken, ziti, sausage and peppers, a wedge, etc.  That's how my family and friends usually do showers, it's usually a big spread, it's the only way I've actually seen them done unless it was done in a restaurant.  It's always been like chicken parmigiana, ziti, sausage and peppers with onions, salads, and rolls, etc.  It's always a big spread.  I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, or if you're looking for something more simple.  Go with what you know you'll all like.

You can get a 3 or 6 foot wedge and get some appetizers and things.  Franks in a blankets, pizza bagel bites, etc and some salads, you could also do wraps, and things like that.

You can also decorate with centerpieces since it's lingerie you can do something lacy and frilly with the centerpieces. Maybe do flowers and surround them in lace at the base of the vase and layer in the lace in black and red tiers, like a layer of black lace, a layer of red lace, etc.

You can do a door prize for a gift card to a local boutique for someone to win their own lingerie.

I hope some of these ideas help!
