Are you tired of the usual strippers and bar crawls? Try these fun bachelorette party ideas and you are guaranteed to have a great time!
Planning the perfect bachelor party is hard. This is especially true when you’re straddling the line between an over-the-top stripper rave and a lazy round of golf between you and your friends. There are definitely better bachelor party ideas than this!
Nowadays, most bachelor parties will follow the same template. Strippers, night clubs and excessive drinking are common. But really, your bachelorette party should just consist of you and your friends doing something you love.
Just because your bachelorette party will be breast-free doesn’t mean it will be lax. This feature will show you how to plan the ultimate bachelor party, with ideas and top tips for the best night ever.
This is your last day as a single person in this world—so here’s how to make it count!
Why Strippers Are a Bad Bachelor Party Idea?
For some men, the bachelor party represents the last hurray. For others, it’s just a reason to hang out with friends before you get too busy with kinky sex to hang out anymore.
The idea of a stripper-free bachelor party may seem like the exact opposite of what a bachelor party represents. But, there are a number of reasons why a couple might decide to avoid nudity at night.
Here are some of the reasons why the groom has decided not to contest the elections.
1. He says no strippers
It is not a new thing for girls to come to strip clubs and bachelorette parties.
If the groom is jealous, or doesn’t want his wife-to-be to have to endure another man’s hard work during her “last night as a single woman”, they may want to steer clear of the strippers. Must have mutually agreed to live.
2. She says no strippers
If his fiancée is the jealous type, she won’t like another girl’s spoils in front of her groom the day before they swear eternal fidelity.
This may seem disappointing to you guys, but remember this: at the end of the day, she has to go home with him… not with you guys.
3. Underage groom
Ah, the joys of being 18 or younger. If any member of your group is underage, sneaking into a strip club can become an unnecessary hassle.
Even if he can come in, if he’s under 21, he still won’t be allowed to mess with the rest of you.
4. It’s predictable
Whether the groom is an adventurer who spends his time on great adventures or an introvert who prefers party chat on Xbox Live, why would they waste time on something as predictable as a strip club?
Believe it or not, some men find this wedding ritual strange, and perhaps less appealing than spending the night at a hockey game.
How to Plan a Bachelor Party – Essentials for Fun
While the bride-to-be probably has the entire wedding planned on her Pinterest board, for the groom, the only planning he has to do for the event will probably be his bachelor party.
So, how do you plan the perfect party without falling back on the typical beers-and-boobs structure?
Let’s start by answering some frequently asked questions.
1. What is a bachelor party?
This might seem like a silly question to ask in a feature about bachelor party ideas. However, if you want to know how to do something correctly, you need to understand it first.
The bachelor party, also known as stag night or reindeer night, is a party held for the groom before his wedding.
Some people say that the bachelor party is a guy’s “last chance” to let loose and have fun before the wedding. But we think it’s a bit old-fashioned.
Instead, we consider the bachelor party a wonderful opportunity to make memories with the closest people in our lives. It’s a way to thank your brothers for the support they are giving you in your wedding journey, and a chance to enjoy doing the things you all love.
2. When should you have a bachelor party?
Traditionally, grooms would hold their bachelor parties the night before their wedding. But there’s a reason why we move forward!
Imagine going out to the bar like crazy, completely exhausted, crawling into bed… and then waking up at 6 a.m. the next morning for the most important day of your life. Where everyone is taking pictures.
Sounds like a nightmare, doesn’t it? Absolutely. And this is why people no longer organize bachelor parties the night before the wedding.
Instead, most wedding planners recommend holding your bachelor party one to four months before your wedding. This way, your mind won’t be filled with last-minute wedding preparations—and you’ll have plenty of time to recover!
3. Who usually plans the bachelor party?
Planning the bachelor party is usually the groom’s job. The best man is the head of the planning team, while all the other male members of the bridal party put in the effort to make the night a success.
This way, the groom doesn’t have to distract himself from wedding planning to organize a separate event.
Yet these days, more and more guys are planning their own bachelor parties. There is nothing wrong with throwing a party for yourself.
After all, who knows what you like better than you? Or, if the groom doesn’t want to plan it alone, he can still join in on the planning. Then you’ll come up with bachelor party ideas he’s guaranteed to enjoy.
4. Who should be invited to the bachelor party?
The guest list for the bachelor party should be made up of people the groom knows and loves. It’s tempting to bring along additional randoms to bump up the numbers, even if the groom doesn’t know them well. It’s better to be in the crowd, right?
However, if you want to have the best bachelor party, everyone has to feel comfortable.
No one wants to go crazy if they feel like they’re being judged by people they’ve never met before. Therefore, stay away from strangers. Just stay connected with the best man, groom, other close friends and family members.
5. Should I bring a gift?
But if you bring something too big or elaborate it may look awkward.
The bride and groom are going to receive a lot of gifts before their wedding, so perhaps save the larger gifts for the bridal reception. Or, save your money and pick up something from their wedding registry for the big day.
6. Who pays for everything?
This question is more difficult. Most of the time, everyone pays their own way at the bachelor party. If it involves travel or staying at a hotel, it is usually good etiquette to pay for your ticket yourself.
Even if you’re not traveling, most groups will split the cost of the entire event between everyone involved.
If you are the one planning the party, make sure you calculate the cost per person as per the plan. Think about whether people in your party will also be able to afford it.
If you know that one of your brothers has a tighter wallet than the rest, make some plans based on how much he can spend. Again, no one’s price is low.
Bachelor Party Do’s and Don’ts
Before we dive into our best bachelor party ideas, we need to talk about some basic dos and don’ts.
If you want your bachelor party to go off without a hitch, there are a few things you need to remember – and remember to avoid.
So, here are our golden rules for a night you’ll never forget:
1. Do something different
Don’t let your bachelor party plans become predictable. We’ve talked before about strippers and the usual drinking ritual. Or maybe even gamble if you’re feeling extra adventurous.
*breath*. No one wants to do the same old cliché activities – they want to see something new that reflects the groom’s personality.
So, make sure you do something different. In fact, choose something that reflects who the groom is, what he likes and what makes your friendship special.
2. Don’t let yourself get tired
Make sure everyone has enough energy to party, otherwise it won’t be a good time. This includes making sure no one is too drunk. If one of the groomsmen starts flying the flag, it can ruin the atmosphere of the entire group – and that’s always disappointing.
3. Do some advanced planning
Plan everything down to the last detail. If you’re in charge of planning the bachelorette party, you need to know where you’ll eat, sleep, drink, dance, and everything else for the entire duration of the event.
A well planned party is always a success. So make sure you plan with military precision and leave no room for failure.
4. Don’t let the groom do anything he might regret
It may be tempting to have the groom do something crazy, like dress up as a ballerina or drink an entire bottle of Jagermeister. However, it is not the job of the groomsmen to destroy the groom’s life.
5. Remember to have fun
But the most important thing is that the bachelor party should be fun! Therefore, do not get too caught up in your responsibilities. Let your hair down *so to speak*, and enjoy a special night out with all your best bros.
Bachelor party ideas for the best. Night. Sometimes.
Without further ado, here are some of the best bachelor party ideas that don’t involve slipping dollar bills into a G-string.
1. A road trip
Not all road trip bachelor party ideas need to end in Las Vegas. A getaway weekend is the perfect way to celebrate the groom’s last days of loneliness.
Hop the boys on their bikes and head out for a day or weekend of biker activities. Or, jump in the car and see where the road takes you!
2. Foreign holiday
Take the boys on a trip! Explore underwater caves, swim in crystal blue waters, zip-line, or visit ancient ruins in Mexico. Or, head to New Orleans, where you can party on Bourbon Street and enjoy the architecture, jazz music, and alcohol.
3. Live on a dairy farm
Book a weekend at the Dude Ranch. Grab your cowboy hat and buckle up for an experience in the Wild, Wild, West!
A “guest,” or dude ranch, is a cattle ranch that has been converted into a tourist “resort.” Here you will be able to ride horses, hunt and see the best views of nature. Oh, and did we mention drinks?
4. Boy’s Night
Just because your night is low-key doesn’t mean it will be boring. Enjoy an entertaining night in with gaming, movies or sports. like choose yar saga Rocky, Star WarsOr National Lampoon movies to spice up your night. You can even play a drinking game – take a shot every time you see a particular character, or see Samuel L. Jackson say a curse word.
Or, try a gaming fest. Play co-op games all night long, or even crack open the good old school days!
If the groom loves sports, why not make it a memorable event to watch? Grab your favorite junk food, lots of alcohol, lots of snacks and gather around the biggest TV you can find and get your game on. Guy’s night out must include chips, pizza, beer and wings.
5. Ticket, ticket, ticket
In fact, bachelor party ideas don’t need to be complicated. Buying tickets to an upcoming event is a great way to spend your last night as a bachelor and can involve a large or small group of your friends.
Get tickets to see the groom’s favorite band in concert, or even a once-in-a-lifetime experience like track racing.
If watching sports isn’t that big a wow factor for a bachelor party, why not get box seats for the groom’s favorite sports team? Make sure you do all the tailgating and have your drinks ready in advance to ensure you have an exciting, competitive night.
6. Camping trip
