One of the ways to make this meeting so delicious can be through lingerie tea. But this party is not just summarized between food and drink, and a gift for the bride like panties and bras. See more in this article about this moment and several ways to celebrate in a light and relaxed way!
Lingerie shower games
Being a very common celebration in the pre-wedding phase, only close friends and family members are usually invited, in order to renew the bride’s lingerie both for her married life and for her honeymoon.
But here are the suggestions for games to make this moment funnier and unforgettable:
- Celebrity: to start the tea already animated at the beginning, leave stickers with random names of famous women, like Gisele Bündchen and Ivete Sangalo, at the front door. Your friends must choose who they will be throughout the party. From then on, they will keep the sticker until the end and can only be called by the name of the artist. Otherwise, whoever misses the name will be punished;
- Sexy bingo: you must assemble a personalized bingo card with items only referring to the lingerie tea universe, for example: seduction, garter belt, baby doll, etc. And just like a normal bingo, whoever closes the card first wins;
- Hot potatoes: put accessories related to the event in a box. After forming a wheel, one must move the box to another until the music stops. The person at which the box stops should choose one of the pieces and wear it throughout lingerie tea. Make several rounds, it’s really fun;
- Guess the present: this is one of the most classic games. The bride must try to guess what the gift is and who gave it. If she misses, she must pay a doctor. If there is a hit, whoever gave it is the one who will pay;
- Parade: after opening all the gifts, the bride should make a parade with everything she has won. The friends will help to create “sets” or to think about the items that she can take on her honeymoon.
Different bridal shower
If you would like to do something different compared to lingerie tea, innovating with your guests and who knows, guests, we will present some tea options:
Tea bar
You can imagine that the tea bar is not something so innovative, but the big difference is that it does not separate the bride and groom or the guests, regardless of gender, from a party that anticipates the wedding.
It can be more fun, keep the couple even closer together, and still have more gifts involved for the future residence of the newlyweds.
About the games, it is natural that it is done to both. But because it is something less restrictive, it can be a good time to chat with friends, relax a little because of the tensions before the party, enjoying the last moments as boyfriends.
The only disadvantage in relation to the other parties is the expense. Usually the tea bar menu always involves alcoholic beverages and they are usually the biggest cost of the party, but you can suggest to the male guests to bring drinks for their own consumption instead of gifts.
Beauty tea
If you are very stressed with the preparations of the party, in addition to concerns about the future home, adding to professional, family issues – after all, life does not stop – the best option is the beauty tea!
The idea is to choose the closest friends for a unique moment: massages, hot tub bath, skin cleaning, manicure service, hair hydration and whatever else you can imagine, depending on your pocket and creativity.
The advantage is to be able to choose those friends that you really have intimacy and enjoy quiet moments, just focused on friendship and taking care of yourself.
The disadvantage is that if it is actually done in a real SPA, the services tend to be expensive and incorporating them into your card can make you even more stressed. In this case, you can talk to your friends so that each one can pay for their own treats or do it at home, calling some professionals and negotiating discounts, since it is a group of people.
Charraiá
If you thought about mixing tea with camp, you were right! If it is in the season of June festivities, this can be a very creative option and with the trademark of our country to be a pre-wedding party.
Here it is also worth calling all family and friends, in addition to the children, of course. Everyone in character, typical foods and even the decor is very easy to make.
In fact, because it is something of a very familiar nature, the costs can be much lower, since all guests can contribute with a typical dish, in addition to the available options already ready in the markets and low cost. The decoration can be made with recycled items and a lot of creativity. And the games can be the same as in a common camp.
The disadvantage is that normally the June festivities, at most, take place in the month of July. So only the months of June and July are suitable for this type of tea.
Themed tea
In this case, it would be a theme that had something to do with the couple’s story or something that you share the same taste. And anything goes when it comes to personalizing the decor, creating something that only you will have to remember.
There are no rules. They can invite all family members or just a few couples of close friends. The menu can be something more refined or maybe a different and cool menu.
After all, the important thing is that you can be distracted, spending the last moments as boyfriends and beside the most special people.
