Bachelor Parties – 5 essential pieces of advice

5. Firstly, ensure it is invite only. You do not want stragglers tagging along because they heard there is a party in town. By the same token you need to ensure that nobody has been left off the invite list. Identify with the Groom, in advance, who he wants to come on his Bachelor Party, that is the key it is his Bachelor Party so ensure he has the final say on who is to attend. If there is someone that you don’t particularly get along with, for the sake of the day, let bygones be bygones.

4. Behave yourselves, whether it is a weekend in Vegas, a paintball party or dare I say a trip to a strip club, make sure the night is remembered for the right reasons. Don’t go over the top on the alcohol, what’s the point in having a Bachelor Party that nobody remembers ?

3. Leave your valuables at home. Whether it’s the engraved watch your wife gave you for your wedding anniversary or your state-of-the-art cell phone with built in laptop, leave them at home. Bachelor Parties are notorious for party-goers losing, or leaving behind items. You don’t want to be the crestfallen guy coming down the stairs the next morning asking “Has anyone seen my..?”

2. The Bachelor Party is vital in your role as Best Man so treat it like the wedding itself in terms of organization. Have the number of your limo driver, the reference number for your hotel and any other important information that is needed for the day/weekend.

1. Enjoy yourself but keep Tip No.4 in the back of your mind and needless to say make sure everyone adheres to the famous adage “what goes on tour, stays on tour.”

The Bachelor Party is a time where the Best Man can actually prove he his best man. Look out for your buddies, especially the Groom, otherwise you can be assured that the Bride will be on the look-out for you. The Bachelor Party should be the most enjoyable part of the wedding celebrations for the Groomsmen and Best Man, sticking to these 5 rules should ensure it stays that way.
