Is it bad for me to feel awkward giving my sister-in-law lingerie for her bachelorette party?

So, my mom picked out some sweet/sexy lingerie and wants me to give it to my sister-in-law for her bachelorette party. I just feel awkward giving it to her because we're not close and I don't feel comfortable giving it to her. I told my mom about this and she thinks it is stupid for me to feel that way. So, is it bad that I feel awkward about this? Or should I just suck it up and give it to her? Thanks.

Update:

Of course this is my future sister-in-law.

Update 2:

To ?: No, this is my first time asking this question because the "issue" just came up today.

    Na dont feel akward. Have fun with it. Try to picture her as a woman rather than your brothers wife to be.

    If you go into the party being uncomfortable it wont get better. It'll be an experiance you end up hating.

    Did you by chance ask a question about this a while ago?

    Of course your feelings are valid!

    Whether you suck it up depends on the nature of the party. Do the invites tell people to give lingerie or some other "bedroom" gift?

    If yes, then everyone else at the party will be doing something similar and you should be able to get over your embarassment. But if no, then there is no way I would give a gift like that, because there is the danger I might be the only one.

    How you feel is NOT stupid....

    Let your mother give her the lingerie and you just get her some nice smelling bath gel and body lotion...Very nice and useful gift and it will not make you feel uncomfortable. Places like Bath and Body Works have some lovely boxed gifts, some with the body splash also. My daughter got a nice set (gel, lotion,splash) as a shower gift, and she took the set with her on her honeymoon

    No, you shouldn't feel awkward at all. It's a girly thing to want sexy lingerie and it's appropriate to give at a bachelorette party, and will be much appreciated, I'm sure.

    I say talk with them and enable them recognize so that you may love for them to be on the bachelorette party yet ask in the experience that they could be indignant or embarassed through those activities(like those you indexed) and be conscious in the experience that they could sense good about all the video games and the presents. they could be a lot extra exciting then you recognize.

    Hmm kind of iffy. I take it you are a pretty shy person. I think my shy friends would feel weird about it too. I'm not shy. But I'd never give my sister in law anything because she is psychotic. Her own mom refers to her as godzilla..

    I wouldn't feel comfortable giving my brother's future wife something to wear before they have sex.

    It's just weird to me.

    If your mom doesn't respect your feelings on this, I doubt it's the time she's been dismissive. Let her give it to her son's wife-to-be herself.

    Nah i think most people would feel awkward. she would probably feel awkward receiving it.

    Hey just do it this once to keep your mum happy whats the worst that can happen?

    I would feel weird too in your situation especially if you don't know her well. Ask your mum to give it her herself.
