Bachelor Party Ideas: Planning a Wild Bachelor Party

Are you a best man trying to in need of bachelor party ideas for your best friend? Are you looking for more than just a poker night or a trip to a strip club? Do you want to make the most of your friend’s last days as a free man? Well, here are some bachelor party ideas that will ensure a wild bachelor party.  Before reading on, have a look at the Bachelor Party Success Guide

First of all, if you are planning a truly wild bachelor party, don’t do it the night before the wedding. The weekend before is a good time. If the wedding is on a Saturday, consider a Thursday party; jobs permitting. That’s because the Bride will kill you if the groom shows up to her big day hung over and tired.

Next, you have to decide how many friends are going to come to this wild bachelor party weekend. Part of the decision will depend on how much it’s going to cost. The more expensive the party is, the fewer people will be able to take the hit. But in no case do you want more than 20 people. More than that is just too many for the best man to manage.

Speaking of expenses, plan your budget. The members of the wild bachelor party should all contribute to the outing and in no case should the groom himself be expected to contribute.

You may want to get the bride involved in bachelor party ideas. Not only will she be more willing to let the party go forward, she also may help you pull it off.  For instance, if you are going to surprise the Groom with a weekend away from home, she can help you pack and even get you his passport if necessary.

Trips for a wild bachelor party are becoming more popular.  Consider a Vegas bachelor party. If the wedding’s date permits it, a trip to Sin City is a great way to send your friend off.

But a wild bachelor party doesn’t have to involve lots of alcohol and strippers. Many bachelor parties are not centering around golf (Scottsdale, AZ) sport fishing (Cabo San Lucas), and Skiing (Whistler, British Columbia, Canada).

Think about building “guy memories” as part of your bachelor party ideas. For instance, a trip to New York City to see the Yankees face off against the Red Socks (followed, of course by one of Times Square’s great strip clubs) might be one of the memories he cherishes forever.

While you may ask the Bride to help you with the planning, if you are planning a real guy’s wild bachelor party, everyone involved must resolve to keep the events of the night or weekend secret. If there are any loose lips, you can be sure the bride will hear about the experience. You don’t want your friend humiliated and cuckolded by his new wife as a result of your wild bachelor party.

If you are a best man charged with planning the ultimate wild bachelor party, keep in mind the sensibilities of the groom, the memories you can make, and the price range you can spend.

Planning a Bachelor Party Efforlessly

Are you a best man trying to plan a Bachelor’s Party? The tradition of a bachelor’s party goes back to the ancient Spartans when soldiers would get together and toast each other on the eve of a man’s wedding. In more recent times, the event has become wilder, and with it, a lot of planning for the best man to do.  Before reading on, check out the Bachelor Party Success System to learn everything you need to know.

There are many kinds of bachelor parties. These events are also known as stag parties or stag nights in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, Bull’s Party in South Africa, and Buck’s Night in Australia. So, the events are a world wide phenomena.  Sometimes the bachelor party is a low key affair involving a good barbeque at a buddy’s place or a nice steak dinner at a fancy restaurant. These are events where men can bond – something they might not get to do as often as they get married.

Usually these events include a lot of drinking and mild ribbing to the groom. The idea that the groom is taking on a “ball and chain” or giving up his freedom is often the subject of the jokes.  But, when you say “bachelor party” there is one word that usually comes immediately to mind – strippers!  Whether it is inviting a single stripper to a home party or going to a gentlemen’s club, this has become sort of a bachelor party norm.

Additionally, more bachelor parties are taking place as destination events. Las Vegas is the most popular spot for a weekend bachelor party because of the casinos and “mainstream” topless revues. There are a number of Las Vegas companies that include drivers, hosts, and admissions to two or more of Las Vegas’ popular strip joints.

Miami, New Orleans, and Chicago are also popular destinations in the United States. Canadian cities are catching on because they have more liberal views of what can happen at a strip club. Montreal is a popular destination for Americans and Canadians alike.

A great bachelor party can also revolve around active pursuits. Taking your buddy to a golf course he’s always dreamed of playing on, going sports fishing in Cabo San Lucas, or even going to major spectator sports like a football or baseball game can make for a memorable bachelor party.

Sometimes a bachelor’s party is a “surprise” event for the groom. He knows only the date and time, with all of the details left to the best man and the friends. Other times, a groom works with the planner’s to make sure that there are no unwelcome events.  It can also help to get the bride involved to a limited extent. This can help for two reasons. If there are logistical details (such as getting the groom packed for a surprise weekend away) the bride can often help. But, you don’t want your buddy to get in trouble with his wife to be right before the wedding, so her input can save a lot of trouble.

Whatever you do, if there is drinking involved, make sure you arrange transportation for the whole party. Limos are often cheaper than taxis when you have six or more people in the party. Keep in mind that the Spartan’s didn’t have drinking and driving laws when they toasted their friend, but we do. There’s no worse way to end a bachelor’s party than to have the best man – or the groom – in the drunk tank (or worse) on the day of the wedding.
