Am the only one...

So one of my friends was looking at my registry and she said it was "weird" cause I have some boxed DVD sets and electronics etc.  Let me set the stage, I'm already a homeowner.  Yes, I do have the traditional registry at BB&B and Macys, but my fun registry (Myregistry.com) was the one she was looking at.  She claims I'm supposed to put lingerie on my bridal shower registry. 

Am I the only one who doesn't want my friends knowing what I'm wearing for my husband - lol!  For the ladies who are already married and already had their showers, did you get lingerie at yours?  Did you stick to just the regular housewares on your registry?

Should  I just suck it up and start putting the Victoria Secret stuff on there, or can I actually keep it a secret - lol!  My shower is in 2 weeks!  What do you think?  Am I being a prude?  Just seems kind of personal to me....

"Asking" for lingerie is awkward to me, too.  When I was in the dorms, and my RA was about to get married, my roommate found out her sizes (nothing is a secret when you live in the dorms) and put those in the invites to her lingerie shower.  It was just a group of the girls from the hall and some of her close friends.  My bridesmaids have already said they're going to throw me one seperate from my church/family shower, because I've already told them that if they wouldn't want their great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, or future MIL and sisters in law to see it, then don't bring it to that one.   So maybe a really close friend who knows your size could do something like that, or you might end up with VS or other store gift cards at your shower so you can pick what you're comfortable in.  I haven't even thought about that yet.  It's a little intimidating.

We only registered for household items.  I had been living on my own for a LONG time but thought it would be nice to have some new things and I donated what I had to a lady in our church that does missions work in Eastern Kentucky (she takes the stuff there and she was absolutely thrilled to get the donations).  I only got one lingerie item and it was not at my shower.  It was from a lady in my church who is my mom's age!  I couldn't believe it.  I was glad that I was alone when I opened it.

Don't let anyone pressure you into changing your registries.  I think you'll be much happier to be able to go and try on things that you like and purchase them without the whole world knowing.

I wouldn't register for lingerie. I've never seen that done. People will buy you lingerie if you're having a lingerie shower/pantie party with girlfriends... or of their own accord.

I'm not married but I will not or ever register for lingerie... wow. I can't even fathom that idea!

I think registering for lingerie would be awkward, too. 

I am, however, kind of hoping I'll get a cute little something at my shower, because it kind of seems to be a tradition for one church lady or another to do that.  Nothing scandalous, just a cute little nightgown or something. Or some undies that say "bride."

Put what you want on your registry, don't let anyone tell you it's weird.

I've never seen lingerie on a registry before.  I see that as something I would buy myself for our wedding night.  Ahem.  I'd feel embarrassed to tell FI 'Mrs. Jones from church bought me this!'
I've looked in department stores at their beautiful bridal lingerie, and it's soooo expensive, that would be another reason for me to not register for it.  I

There are bridal showers, and their are lingerie showers. Someone offerred to throw me a lingerie shower, but I declined for the same reason you mentioned. I'm sorry, but this is already awkward enough because I had never been with a man before, and I thought it would make things worse if my friends (no matter how close they are to me) knew what outfits I was wearing for my husband. Do not let anyone pressure you. If you don't want them to give you lingerie, don't register for it. If someone is super insistent on getting you lingerie, request a gift card to VS or some place like that and promise to spend it on pretty undies. My bff did that for me. I wouldn't tell her my size, and mentioned that I was super picky, so she gave me a gift card.

No.  I think it's weird.  Because then it makes me think they thought about what would look good on my body or if I would look good on it.  Weird!  It's your choice, your wedding - you guys get to do what you want ^_^  Lingerie on a registry is something I've never heard of.
