Sex Toys for Bridal Shower?

Contributor: MamaDivine MamaDivine
Do you think that it is appropriate to give a sex toy (of any kind) to a Bride at her bridal shower? Is this tacky? Would you/Have you done this? What were the reactions? Were you at a bridal shower that someone else did this? What did you think?

My maid of honor bought me handcuffs, whip, collar, and lingerie and gave it to me at my bridal shower where moms, grandmas, aunts, cousins, and friends were there. It was a hit and had the entire party laughing and having a good time. She said if she had had more time, she would have gotten me a dildo.

With all that being said, it depends on the person and how open they are sexually and how embarrased they'd be to open it up in front of everyone at a bridal shower. If they were open to sex toys and don't get embarassed easily maybe try something.

I don't think it's appropriate at the regular family bridal shower. At the bachelorette party, or at a lingerie shower (if your family does that kind of thing) then it's OK.

If I were to give a sex toy to a good friend, I wouldn't do it where she would open it in front of her mom and her grandma and her other relatives, who might not be so open to things like this.

I am going to agree with P'Gell. I say Lingerie is ok, bath products, or any kind of couples product that is not a sex toy. A liberator would be a good gift. I think I would go with something like this kit, this kit, or this kit. If you decide a Liberator, I would suggest the heart wedge, since it is the most discreet. If you go lingerie, I would suggest white, just for the occasion, but you want something classy and not considered trashy.

Probably the best rule of thumb is this "If everyone there is close to the age of the bride, then go for it. If there's different generations, best reconsider.

A woman wouldn't be as embarrassed in most cases to opening a dildo in front of her sister or same-age cousin, as she would in front of her mother, aunt or someone's teen that tagged along.

This is a great question, as I'm going to be my older sister's maid of honor at her wedding next year. Her bridal shower is in June and I'm not going to get her a sex toy. We have very conservative relatives, so it would be in really bad taste.

For her bachelorette party, I think I'll get her a luxury vibe, though.
