Organizing a bachelor party can be a difficult task. It’s certainly a privilege to be chosen as a best man for your friend’s wedding, but with such privilege comes great responsibility. After all, the bachelor party, or stag party as it’s more commonly known in the UK, is supposed to be the groom’s ‘last night of freedom’ and an occasion that he will never forget.
Guide to Planning the Perfect Bachelor Party
Making sure that you give your buddy the
What Would The Groom Like To Do?
Whatever you organize, be sure to keep it in character with the groom himself. For example, if he’s the kind of guy that likes to hang out at a bar, or visit a strip club then you’re probably safe to arrange a beer-fueled party with a stripper. Your tee-total, sports mad, totally shy friend on the other hand, may not see the funny side of such a raucous occasion, and could be majorly offended.
Pick what suits the groom, not what suits you.
Where Should The Bachelor Party Be?
While a week in Waikiki may sound like the perfect bachelor party for you and all of your friends, you need to take a reality check before you book something too extravagant. Set a budget that is affordable for everyone and book your venue to suit.
A long weekend at a vacation destination could be the perfect way to celebrate, but before you plan a
There are many useful resources available online to help you decide which destination ticks all the boxes for your proposed trip. Vegas is an obviously popular choice within the United States but there are many other places to consider, especially if you are looking for somewhere less extreme. For those in the UK, Newcastle has established itself as a hugely popular bachelor party destination thanks mainly to its vibrant nightlife but this useful stag party guide by Last Night of Freedom shows that the city has a lot more to offer than just drinking and clubbing.
Look For Affordable Accommodation
Wherever you choose to celebrate, you can pretty much guarantee that you will need to book at least one nights accommodation. While the ladies may look to check in to five-star spa accommodation for their bachelorette party, this is a good time to be little bit more pragmatic with your boys.
Clean, simple rooms in a hotel or motel should suffice, as let’s face it, you will probably be out on the town for most of the time anyway.
Think About Activities (Other than drinking of course)
While it is true that many a bachelor party is dedicated to getting drunk, there are still plenty of other things you could do to make it even more memorable. Why not book something that you wouldn’t normally find time to do back at home, like waterskiing, go-karting, paintballing or even white water rafting? Or if your groom has a particular hobby of favorite sport, why not seek out and book activities that he would love to get involved in, before thinking about the traditional evening celebrations?
Think Carefully About Who To Invite
The key to remember here is that this is not YOUR bachelor party and you are inviting people on behalf of the groom. It’s likely that you will have many friends in common who should be invited – but be sure to consider others who the groom would want to be there whom you are perhaps not too familiar with. If you are thinking of inviting his dad, uncles or other relatives, but are not sure how the land lies, ask the groom for advice first.
Keep The Lines Of Communication Open
Planning a trip away with a bunch of people who some you may not know very well can be hard work in itself. As the Best Man you will be in charge of organizing most of the logistics and entertainment, so make sure you have everyone’s cell phone numbers and email addresses well in advance of the main event.
You will need to keep everyone informed about what is happening and when, how much they need to pay and the payment deadline, as well as providing them with a travel itinerary and accommodation details.
One easy solution for this?
Make This The Best Bachelor Party Ever
Planning a celebration that the groom will love, as well as being able to impress and entertain other guests of varying ages, can be hard to achieve. But, by following the advice above, you should be able to organize a bachelor party that will be a success and one that the groom will forever remember fondly.
