Overview
While choosing a gift from the bridal registry may be the most practical path for wedding shower gift, you may want to try a more romantic gesture for the bride and groom. If you are close to the bride and she won't mind opening a racy gift in front of her mom and grandma, sexy presents are appropriate. Or add some romance with a gift for the upcoming honeymoon. Don't overlook presents with the newlywed's monogram, as brides are often excited to embrace their new name.

Naughty but Nice
If you don't blush at the idea of giving lingerie to the bride-to-be, you might present other bedroom treats. Personalcreations.com sells chocolate body paint complete with a paintbrush and a sexy personalized message on the lid. Many newlyweds register for sheet sets. Check out their color scheme, then pick sexy silk or satin sheets to match. You can also put together or purchase a basket of massage oils, scented candles and fragrant bubble bath and address the card to the bride and groom. Theknot.com suggests sensual scents such as jasmine, vanilla, lavender, sandalwood and cinnamon. Also, a matching blindfold and feather boa in the bride's wedding colors will add a romantic twist.

Spice up the Honeymoon
Many couples allow resorts to plan their honeymoon with all-inclusive packages. Ask the mother of the bride or groom where the newlyweds will be headed and call ahead to schedule a romantic dinner on the beach, a couples' massage in their honeymoon suite or a chilled bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for their arrival. If the couple is headed to a tropical location, consider picking out a sexy bikini for the bride or a pair of flip flops that make heart or "I love you" prints in the sand. Another great idea for the beach honeymoon is lounge chair covers embroidered with "bride" and "groom," complete with side pockets for phones, magazines or wallets. Try the website weddingsbydezign.com for this gift (see Resources). Tickets to a sexy or romantic show might be in order if they're headed to Las Vegas or another big city. Purchase tickets to a musical like "Chicago" or to the show "Zumanity," dubbed the sensual side of Cirque du Soleil.

Personalized presents
Newlyweds often love gifts with their new monogram, so look into purchasing wine glasses or vases engraved with their initials. Plush bath robes with their monogram on the back might spark some romance. Photo frames or photo album covers with the couples' names and wedding date fall into the romantic and practical gift category. If you get your hands on the wedding invitation before the shower, you can purchase a glass frame with room for a wedding picture on one side and an the words from the wedding invitation engraved on the other. For a sexier personalized gift, buy the couple a matching set of boxers and panties with the saying "I love (insert name of bride or groom)" stitched or screened on the garment.
