Bridal Lingerie Shower: Creative Poem

I found this cute and creative poem/game from Diva Girl Parties and Stuff and found it to be a fun feature to have at Bridal Lingerie Shower with your favorite gal-pals. Here are the details on how to do feature this at your event:

One of the fun ways to do this is to have "all of the bridesmaids read the opening verses together and then each one recited a verse that corresponded with one particular panty...

The presentation of this panty poem requires 8 pairs of panties:
  • Bridal white for the first night
  • Sexy lace panties for the honeymoon
  • Red for Valentine's day
  • Leopard print or purple for the 1st anniversary
  • A pink pair AND a blue pair for first baby
  • A sexy full cut pair for 25 years of marriage... and finally...
  • A big giant pair of bloomers or granny panties
  • You could have a clothesline (or something similar set up) to hang each panty on after the reading of the corresponding verse, or you could just hold up each pair during the reading and then give them to the bride-to-be. What a fun gift... a gift that will be remembered for years to come. Everyone gets a real kick out of the presentation.

    Bridal Shower Panty Poem

    The bridesmaids have a secret to share
    About our little bride
    She is obsessed with underwear
    And that we cannot hide

    So for our little panty queen
    We gathered up some twine
    And working as a friendly team
    We made a panty line.

    Alternate verse if no clothesline available:
    So for our special panty queen
    We'll make her feel just fine
    By working as a friendly team
    To form a panty line.

    (Bride's name) these undies are to last you
    All throughout your life
    And (groom's name) will be pleased to say
    He has a sexy wife!

    So listen up to hear about
    Your lifelong panty plan
    These underwear, we have no doubt
    Will last your whole life span

    The first are for your wedding day
    Of course they are pure white
    We know (groom's name) will shout, "Hooray!"
    When he sees you on that night

    The next are for your honeymoon
    They're sexy and all lace
    We hope you'll leave your hotel room
    'Cause (honeymoon destination)'s a gorgeous place!

    On Valentine's you'll wear this pair
    Before you hit the bed
    Cuz Cupid's arrow in the air
    Shoots tushies that are red

    After a year has passed you'll face
    Anniversary number one
    With these you'll surely have a blast
    'Cuz leopard's so much fun!

    Purple or an alternate color or print could be chosen in place of leopard in the verse above

    Then when the time is right for you
    And don't be saying, "Maybe"
    You'll wear your little pink or blue
    In honor of your baby

    And when your years of wedding bliss
    Become the big 2-5
    Don't worry - you'll just slip this on
    To keep the sparks alive

    When finally you're old and gray
    With these you can't go wrong
    'Cuz sorry (Bride's name) but at that age
    You just can't wear a thong"

    Please Note: This poem is a slightly altered version in order to fit well at any bridal shower. Feel free to customize it to your bride

    DIY Weddings: The Purple Picnic article photo

    "Next to the actual ceremony, nothing puts us over the moon like all the little details of a wedding. Making details and "branding" the wedding can actually be done on-the-cheap. If you are having your event catered, most caterers will be happy to package the food how you ask. For this Purple Picnic, our supplies were simple. Label paper, paper bags, gable boxes, a little ribbon, and a plastic canister (if your menu requires it). Here are some basics on how we created this picnic lunch.

    Supplies:
    1. Labels shapes and full sheets of label paper, purchased for $5 at Office Supply Store

    2. Colored Tissue Paper, purchased for $2

    3. White Food Bags from Paper Mart, the cost is only $.10 each!

    4. Gable Boxes from Paper Mart at $.45 Each

    5. Ribbon from Paper Mart for $3

    6. Labels for lunch box from Office Depot

    Step 1: Design

    Most of the work is done in this step. These designs were made on Adobe Illustrator using different royalty-free images. You can go to websites like istockphoto.com or your local library or bookstore for designs to reference. If you have a designer or a friend that is a designer it is great to have someone with expertise help but Adobe also offers 30-day free trials of their software so if you really wanted to do it yourself and learn the software program, that is an option too. Although they aren't as detailed there are other programs like Microsoft Paint that can get the job done.

    Step 2: Print

    The labels were printed on label shapes but for the larger label on the gable box we printed the design on full sheet label paper and then cut them out with exacto knifes. The paper bags can be fed directly through your laser or inkjet printer just like you would print an envelope.


    Step 3: Assemble

    If you are having you caterer help, make sure they understand your vision. It's always good to have one assembled beforehand so they understand what you want. If you are doing it yourself -- it's time to put those bridesmaids to work! Call your friends and family and have a get together a week or two before the big day so you can apply labels. The day before, the food can all be assembled and refrigerated.

     



    Step 4: Sit back and relax!

    Watch the guests as they enjoy all the extra special touches. Also, tell your photographer to get closeups of all your handiwork!"

    Face Time

    Facials with steam treatments and multi-layer masks are a deliciously decadent way to get your skin in shape. But why stop with your face? The dominance of strapless gowns is putting the spotlight on your upper body, and luxe salons are stepping up to the challenge by offering the complete facial treatment -- for your back. Combining blemish control with soothing massage and masks, back facials ensure you look your silky best when you dare to go bare. As with regular facials, you should schedule your back facials for at least a week before the wedding.

     

    Mane Magic

    Sheen. Shine. Luster. A gloss treatment is the best way to get gorgeous, gleaming hair for the wedding day. You start with a shampoo and head massage, and then a nutrient-packed cool gel is applied to your hair to enhance its natural sheen. The result? Glossy, manageable hair that will look great down or twisted into an intricate updo. For maximum impact, get your gloss treatment five days before the wedding.

     

    Twinkle Toes

    Looking your best from the top of your head to the tips of your toes is easy with the new pedicure/reflexology combinations offered by salons. Your feet are treated to a

    warm spa bath with salts, followed by a pressure-point foot massage. This technique, which matches sensitive points on your feet to sections of your body, is ideal for combating pre-wedding stress. After the reflexology session, your nails are carefully polished and painted until they resemble ten tiny jewels. Pedicures from reputable salons tend to last, so you can schedule your tootsie treatment as far as four days before the wedding.

     

    At Your Fingertips

    All your guests will want a peek at that glittering engagement ring, so make sure your hands and nails are up for the attention. In addition to your manicure, ask for a paraffin wax treatment. Your manicurist will dip your hands into clear, warm wax and then place them into heated gloves. The gentle heat and wax work together to smooth your skin and seal in moisture, so your hands feel as good as they look. For gorgeous, chip-free nails, it's best to get your manicure the day before or the morning of your wedding.

     

    Loosen Up

    Last-minute details can result in last-minute stress, and a massage is the perfect prescription for relaxation. Indulge with the traditional Swedish or Shiatsu styles, or try something new. Brides swear by stone treatments, where smooth heated rocks are placed on massaged muscles to soothe away tension. The popularity of Thai massage, which combines stretching with traditional massage, is also on the rise. Whatever style you choose, don't forget your groom. A couple's massage the day before the wedding is a guarantee of honeymoon harmony.

     

    Skin-tillating

    If all-over glow is what you're looking for, body wraps and scrubs deliver. Scrubs rely on natural exfoliants, such as brown sugar, sea salt, and oatmeal, to gently polish away old layers and reveal the radiant skin beneath. With your skin so soft, he won't be able to take his hands off you. Also try a wrap, where technicians cocoon you in steamy layers of linen and ointment, for total-body relaxation and optimal pampering of your skin. Just don't forget to drink plenty of water; all that steam can be dehydrating. -Source:WeddingChannel-
