Put on your bridesmaid panties?

karenshopping · April 2011

I read a post on another message board about a bride who is making bridesmaid "undies". This seems over the top to me. My younger sister/matron of honor has managed to choose her own underwear for years. I don't expect the fact that I'm getting married to impair that ability. What do you think?

mrsjustinm2b · April 2011

Don't you know that your wedding won't be perfect unless they all match down to their underpants?? You may not even be considered married ....

mkrupar · April 2011

Yes, over the top and a waste of money.

[Deleted User] · April 2011

I'm pretty picky about my panties so I wouldn't wear them.

I think tee shirts are a waste a money so yeah.

trix1223 · April 2011

Ewwwwwwwww. Talk about overthinking the importance of one's wedding. I personally think that's just.....ewwwwwww.

McKenna2012 · April 2011

I am not a fan.

Oh my gosh. That's hilarious! Are they going to get a group shot as well? That would be one classy picture to have in the wedding album. Hopefully they're thongs; that would make it even better. I would be really weirded out if a bride made me wear a certain type of underwear. That's a little too controlling. Do you care what covers my crotch? Really?

[QUOTE]Those who have been around a while may remember me telling of a bride who thought this sort of thing was a great idea. I actually dropped out of that WP the night before the wedding, when we got them as part of our "gifts". Ours didn't say Bridesmaid. Our matching tees said "Bridesmaid" and our underwear was 'personalized'. One girl got a pair that said "The Ditzy One", one that said "The Sweet One", one was "The Slutty One", etc. The idea was that we would get ready in the underwear and tees, and the photos would be 'so awesome!'. For the record, the BM underwear are generally used for photo ops with the Bride and BMs all holding up their skirts showing them off. So, no, not a fan at all.

Bwaaaahahhahahahaha! I don't blame you one bit for dropping out.

ETA: But I might've shoved them up the bride's nose before leaving.

Oh man, that's awesome. I would absolutely <em>cherish</em> those panties forever. Hilarious. Hope you weren't offended...better than getting The Slutty One IMO.

Beachy730 · April 2011

OP- do you do anything on these boards except ask random, and sometimes too personal, questions on all of them? In the last week you have asked about BM underwear, if your worst mistake involves sex, if you hate groups of people, and if you get brazilian waxes (just to name a few).

I mean, you get to talk about whatever you want on these boards, but all I've ever seen you do was post random questions, and then rarely come back and answer them, which is just weird. ESPECIALLY since the first time I ever remember you posting was when you came on E and made a post telling us that it was the etiquette board and our NWR talk belonged on Chit Chat.

dnbeach12, not that it's any of your business BUT . . . 1) theknot.com isn't the message board that I use most. 2) The technology of the message board that I do use the most doesn't support polls. 3) I like the poll feature of theknot.com. I typically post the actual poll question in the title section. If you think, the question is too personal, don't answer it. In addition to not answering a post that I don't like, I avoid posts by posters that I don't like. You might want to consider adopting this practice. I typically answer my own poll question in the original post (a practice that was criticized on the worst mistake poll) so I don't need to "come back" to answer them.

dragonwagon · April 2011

I really wouldn't care if someone gave me a pair of bridesmaid underwear. I'd probably never wear them, and I definitely would never pull my dress up so that anyone could photograph me wearing them. But I don't think I would be appalled or upset about receiving them.

I did not have matching BM knickers for my first marriage. Do you mean to tell me that I stuck it out for 17 years with someone I was not legally married to? Not to mention the cost of the divorce. Oh holy hell!!!!!!!

<div>No need to get offended, I was just asking a question. Like I said, I find it very weird that you once tried telling a group of regs that they shouldn't be posting NWR questions, so it just strikes me as very odd that you ask these questions all the time. </div><div>
</div><div>Also, it's generally considered that a post is MUD when an OP doesn't come back, especially when posters ask you questions. I don't need to be told how to conduct myself on a message board, I know I can read and not read whatever posts I want, just like I can ask any questions I want and you can post whatever you want. I was just simply asking you a question. </div>

DNAtime · April 2011

Oh. My. God. I am pretty sure ALL of my WP would literally punch me in the face if I even suggested getting those. Ewww, it really grosses me out too.

Who does that!?!

FaithCaitlin · April 2011

Not a fan.

I may make my girls BM tank tops but panties is a little.. too much.

If you're giving them tank tops for wedding day, I'd rethink it. You don't want something that you have to pull over your head after pro hair and makeup.

And frankly, once the wedding is over, the chances of anyone wearing a BM tank top are pretty small. Cut the tank top and upgrade whatever gift you're getting them with the $$ saved.

pretzelgrrl · April 2011

I was looking at the bridal section in Victoria's Secret and they had bridesmaid panties too...it made me wonder who would buy these...never even dreamed that someone would make it into a photo op...holy awkward. I did buy my bridesmaids tank tops in the beginning because I was super excited...I figured they could wear to get ready (wide necks so make-up/hair won't get messed up) or wear at the bachelorette...just got them on a whim since they were cute not for any photo-ops since I don't want getting ready pics.

pretzelgrrl · April 2011

Yeah but everything is a gimmick to get money so my theory is get the things you like and can afford Edit: unless it is bridesmaid undies...LOL!

apardy131 · April 2011

that is a little weird

msteph82 · April 2011

Stage, I applaud you. If someone had given me underwear that called me a biitch, I would probably suck it up and be in the wedding the next day, drink all their booze. not bring a gift and then never speak to them again. You've got amazing balls.

FabulousJen · March 2012

I gave my bridesmaids all undies with "Maid of Honor" or "Bridesmaid" on them as my "Will you be my bridesmaid" gifts. Since they're all either my sisters or closest friends, and we give each other undies as gifts pretty regularly as a (humorous) long standing tradition, I thought it would be hilarious, and it was. They all loved them, they want to wear them the night before the wedding in the hotel room, and there will be no photo ops, either professional or otherwise. I am not requiring them to wear them at the wedding, or ever really. They never even have to put them on if they don't want to. It was just a fun way to start my wedding off with the right attitude, and not take anything too seriously, as obviously some people on this site do. If you don't like the idea, don't do it for your wedding, but I find it bad form to lambast someone else for doing something that's right for them. Although I think using the oppoturinity to insult my bridesmaids would have been rude, to say the least. I would never call my girls slutty or bitchy, on a piece of clothing or otherwise!
