Top Tips for Stylish and Tasteful Lingerie Shower Invitations

Before the “I do,” bring a little ooh la la to your wedding planning with a lingerie shower. While it may not be the first bridal shower theme you think of, a lingerie party is a fun way to shake up the traditional wedding events. 

Typically more intimate than a normal wedding shower or bachelorette party, a lingerie shower incorporates fun activities where the bride-to-be is celebrated with gifts like panties, corsets, lacy bras, and any clothing that gets her honeymoon-ready. 

Choosing your lingerie shower invitation template is the first step to creating a celebration that’s tasteful, flirty, and on-theme. The right invite does more than share RSVP details, it sets the tone for your entire event. Whether your guest list ranges from your most conservative aunt or your wildest bestie, this guide has you covered with design tips, wording ideas, and etiquette. 

What to Consider When Designing a Lingerie Shower Invitation

While designing your lingerie shower invitations, your goal should be clear and playful but not over the top. Because the theme of the party already leans a little risque, it’s best to keep your invitation tasteful with smaller touches of flirty and sexy to strike a good balance.

Here’s how to choose or create an invitation that’s the perfect fit for your bride.

Establish What the Mood and Vibe Will Be 

Before choosing your lingerie bridal shower invitation, think about what the tone will be. Sweet and sassy? Dark and lacy? Or maybe something cute and cozy? Your choice sets the stage for your invitation design, color palette, wording, and tone. 

Really consider the personality of the bride-to-be: Is she an all-black kind of girl, or does she love soft, muted pink tones? Is she into colorful florals or dark and dramatic tones? When it comes to planning your lingerie bridal shower, pick a style that best suits your bride and then carry it through the rest of the shower to create a cohesive and memorable celebration. 

Choose Your Colors and Patterns 

Your color palette will help your invitation reflect the vibe of the event — and will give you inspiration for your party-day decor. 

Soft pastels and muted floral accents offer a simple, elevated, and romantic feel that’s perfect for a sweet celebration. For something more dramatic and bold, you may lean toward elements like black lace patterns, champagne glasses, corsets, or even playful bra and panty illustrations.

Pick Your Fonts and Text 

Don’t underestimate the power of a good font. Especially with a lingerie-inspired theme, the font you choose is enough to show guests exactly what kind of get-together they’re in for. A romantic, soft script portrays a feminine touch, while a bold and modern font gives the party invitation an edgy, chic feel. 

Of course, your invitation should include the essential details of the lingerie shower, including the date, time, location, RSVP information, and any other important details you want your guests to know. For a lingerie shower, it’s helpful to include the bride-to-be’s bra and underwear sizes, so guests can purchase gifts that will fit. 

Lingerie Shower Invitation Wording Suggestions (That Aren’t Cringe) 

Choosing the right wording for your lingerie shower invitations can sometimes feel like a hard task. You want to convey the playfulness of the theme while also keeping things classy. It’s a tricky balance to strike. But don’t worry — we’ve got you covered! 

Remember, when guests read your invite, you want their first reaction to be a smile rather than a cringe. And as stated before, let the bride’s personality be your guide. Your invite should sound like her and reflect her interests. 

Keep the language clear, fun, and friendly, and don’t forget to include the essential details we listed above.

Lingerie Shower Etiquette Tips to Keep Things Classy 

Because a lingerie shower is a special and intimate event, it’s important to brush up on your etiquette tips before sending out your invitations. From who will host and shower gifts to guest lists and invitation timing, follow these simple guidelines to make sure your party runs smoothly and your bride feels celebrated, comfortable, and loved: 

• Hosts: Typically, hosting duties will go to the maid of honor, bridesmaids, mother of the bride/groom, or a best friend of the bride.
• When to send invitations: Aim for 4-6 weeks before the shower so people have time to plan and save the date.
• Guest list: Unlike a typical bridal shower, lingerie-themed showers are best kept intimate — think close friends, the bridal party, and anyone the bride would feel comfortable opening lingerie gifts in front of. If family members will be invited, you’ll want to keep the event more tasteful, but if it will be a close group of friends, you can be a little more free with the party style.  
• Gifting: If the bride has a registry, add the link to the invitation. Otherwise, include the bride’s sizes and preferred colors or styles to help guests choose the right items.

In addition to the tips above, the most important thing is to make sure that the bride is comfortable with every detail. At the end of the day, the party is all about celebrating her and making her feel special.
