Just remember that whatever be the type of lingerie party you’d like to throw, it can be a totally respectable event and that the tone of the evening is something that you can specify and set down, especially when you are sending out your invitations. Adding a lingerie element to any themed party will give it a slightly racy or daring undertone and that’s all the nuance there need be. In every other respect, it can be just like any other generic party except that you’ll have a lot more fun with your dress code and gifts not to mention the enjoyment you’ll have playing comical games involving lingerie from tossing it around to wearing it on your head. Adding just the slightest touch of the scandalous can make your party totally irresistible!
If you would like to throw a lingerie party for couples or one that’s open to adults, make sure to set some ground rules first and send them out in your invitations. For instance, you could specify that the modest wedding gowns code for the evening is to be -- sexy but classy. In case you are worried about overly revealing costumes, include a small footnote that states that truants will be made to wear clothes! You could add a whole new dimension to the party by making it a costume lingerie party.
In case you are opting for a girls night out type of lingerie party, just remember that it’s very similar to a riotous bachelorette party. Ask your girlfriends to don their most exotic lingerie for the event and or just wear whatever they are most comfortable in. Lure them in with a small mysterious note in the invitation asking them to bring the most hideous piece of lingerie they own in an unmarked brown bag. Everyone can have tons of fun later matching up the lingerie with their owners! With pedicures, face masks, endless cups of hot chocolate and a lot of heart-to-heart talk you can also turn this into a soul-refreshing ‘pamper your spirit’ lingerie slumber party.
Although commonly done, the dressing gown should no be confused with the housecoat, this was a very popular item of attire in the 1940s. Also known as a duster, the house coat was a very useful garment; it was longer in length than an apron and more modest in coverage than a pinafore. At a time when women would rarely leave their houses without looking their absolute best the housecoat was the perfect way to protect the chosen outfit of the day, women would simply switch into their housecoat to perform their daily chores.
