So you have been invited to the bride's shower and found out it will be a personal shower. You think to yourself, "What is a personal shower?" A personal shower is a lingerie shower given for the bride usually at her request as it is a rather personal choice for shower types. Everyone can participate as it isn't as scandalous as one may expect. Even great grandmothers can appreciate a piece of fine lingerie. It is actually somewhat traditional for a bride's mother to present her with frillies for her honeymoon in the form of a peignoir and other trousseau items. Keep in mind this may be a family affair to keep the risque items to a minimum. Save the naughty items for the bachelorette party where closed friends will be the only participants.

Some other general tips from unveiledbride.com include:

Buy honeymoon items such as silk chemises or pretty camisole sets instead of items to wear under the wedding gown. The bride needs to try those items on to make sure they fit perfectly and aren't detected under the gown.

Buy items which fit a range of sizes such as one size, a garter or pretty handkerchied, or Sm/Med and Med/Large. The bride will not be offended or bothered by these sizes as much as having you guess what size a bride is as she is frantically dieting for the big day.

Personalize a gift to include the brides new name as a special gift for the new "Mrs."
