One of the most important decisions you will make, along with the Groom’s input, is where you should have the all-important Bachelor Party. There are certain factors that need to be taken into account when deciding what type of Bachelor Party to have, the 2 most important factors are making sure you know who will be invited and also what budget you have to work from.
The reason the budget is important is self-explanatory whilst knowing who is coming is vital because if the Father of the Bride plans on coming then that rules out a certain type of Bachelor Party, you know what I mean guys!
- Bachelor Party City Trip.
This type of Bachelor Party entails travelling to a city/resort for a fun-filled night or weekend to celebrate the Groom’s last major night out as a single man. Las Vegas, Atlantic City and New York City are amongst the most popular destinations for this type of Bachelor Party.
If the Groom is the sporty or competitive type then a good option to consider is a Bachelor Party based around an activity such as white-water rafting, fishing, golfing or similar. It is worth remembering that you should go easy on the alcohol if taking part in an event like white-water rafting of course.
If the Groom is a fan of a particular sports team then another good idea is to take a trip to watch that team in action followed by a night partying in that town. If it is a local team then maybe try to make the effort to watch them play when they are away from home just to see enjoy nightlife out of town.
The concert may play second fiddle to the tailgating beforehand but a trip to see one of the Groom’s favorite bands followed by a party afterwards is sure to leave memories to last a lifetime. For added fun rent some whacky costumes from a fancy dress shop and revel in the attention you will receive on the night.
- Limo evening around town.
For the more nostalgic among you who want to visit bars you are familiar with in your area then have the luxury of a stretch-limo to take your party from location to location and include a fancy restaurant for a bite to eat along the way. Enjoy a bit of luxury on the Bachelor Party and travel in style to celebrate the Groom’s final major night out before he becomes a married man.
Despite the temptation to try to get the Groom in trouble on his Bachelor Party avoid it, if anything goes wrong it is your neck on the chopping block when you get home not his so be responsible, have a great time just make sure to stay safe.

Bachelor Parties – 4 Items To Leave At Home.
With your Best Man speeches covered the other main duty to prepare for is the time-honored tradition of the Bachelor Party. Bachelor Parties should be great fun where you and your friends provide a “last hurrah” for the Groom to enjoy before he officially becomes a married man. They are great fun to arrange and usually provide memories that will last a lifetime but just be aware not to party to excess and make sure the Groom is looked after for the night and isn’t caught in any compromising situations (I think you know what I mean guys!).
1. A Camera.
No matter how tempted don’t bring a camera to the Bachelor Party as you inevitably will only end-up taking embarrassing photos that might come back to haunt you. The Best Man typically organizes the Bachelor Party so you will get the lions share of the blame if the Bride gets to see and is offended by the pictures.
2. A Cell Phone.
Aside from the fact that most cell phones have cameras (see No.1 above) there is also the danger of one of the drunken Groomsmen calling someone at home announcing “You’ll never believe what we are up to now…”, before long word will get around of whatever activity you are indeed up to and could make for an uncomfortable ride home.
3. Alcohol.
You won’t need to bring alcohol with you for the journey as there will be plenty of alcohol in whatever casino, club, pub that you are going to, arriving drunk will only ensure a swift exit courtesy of the bouncers.
4. Excess Cash.
How many people do you know who come back from a Bachelor Party with money in their pocket? Exactly none, so don’t be tempted to bring too much money with you as you will more than likely spend every cent.
While Bachelor Parties may not cause the anxiety that Best Man speeches cause they still need to be managed responsibly otherwise you may end up feeling a whole lot more nervous about seeing the Bride and her family on the wedding day and the delivering of the Best Man speech will be the least of your worries.
