The Lingerie Registry: A New Idea for Modern Couples

We already had a fully furnished home before the wedding so the traditional registry felt pointless. Then someone suggested a lingerie registry and we actually did it. Here is how it worked.

How We Set It Up

We used Journelle's wishlist feature to create a curated list of lingerie pieces I actually wanted. Guests could see the items and prices without seeing my sizes -- the system handles that privately.

What We Included

Silk pajama sets ($80-150)
Luxury bras and matching sets ($60-120)
A cashmere robe ($200)
Beautiful everyday pieces ($30-60)
High-end loungewear ($50-100)

We kept it tasteful -- nothing too risque since guests included family members. The vibe was "luxury self-care" not "bedroom accessories."

The Response

Mixed, honestly. Close friends loved the idea and said it was refreshing. Some older relatives were confused or uncomfortable and just gave cash. A few people told me it was the coolest registry they had ever seen.

Tips If You Try This

Offer a traditional option too -- have a regular registry alongside it
Include a range of prices from $25 to $200+ so everyone can participate
Keep it classy -- silk robes and pajamas are easier for guests than a sheer bodysuit
Choose a store with good gifting logistics -- Nordstrom and Journelle both handle gift registries well

Would I Do It Again?

Absolutely. I ended up with a completely refreshed lingerie wardrobe of pieces I actually wanted instead of our fourth set of wine glasses.
