Blood oath that “What happens at the Bachelor party, stays at the Bachelor party.” Absolutely serious, if someone can’t be trusted to keep their mouth shut then do not invite them. Really.
Rent a hotel room (or two - one to party in, one to sleep later)
Get a limo or at least a driver & passenger van to avoid any possible separations of the party and drunk drivers at the end of the night.
Hand-cuffs and blow-up sex doll… figure out the rest.
If possible, go somewhere other than your town. (I’ve done two in Windsor so far - out of town, casino, gambling, strip clubs, and bars where no one knows you)
Establish ground rules between you and the groom before the party, WAY before. If the groom plans on getting laid, know about it before-hand so you don’t have to deal with it when drunk the night of the party. If the groom does not want to get laid, know about it before-hand so you can deal with his drunken buddies who think they are obligated to hire “Southside Sally” for $5.00 and a bottle of beer for the groom.
No cameras (well, except the one the best man brings secretly to get “evidence” on everyone else.)
Communicate with all attendees, in advance, how much the transportation and hotel is going to cost and how much they are expected to pay that night.
You are the best man, you should carry the largest percentage of the costs. Not all of it, but double the individual shares of everyone else is a good rule of thumb.
The groom should never be without a.) a drink and b.) dollar bills while inside the strip club. This is your responsibility, stop oogling the hooters and get the groom all the attention.
Remember, your job is to make this something more than “the normal night out with the guys” - no pressure. In all seriousness, think of it as entertaining an important client. The groom is the center of attention all night long and it is your job to ensure that happens. Get the dancers at the strip club to him, get the DJ at the bar you go to for dancing to announce he is in the house, let the bartenders behind the bar know he is getting married. It is a big deal - good luck!
Lotsa good suggestions here, definatly follow the rules mentioned above. My suggestions would be get a hotel room and get an Escort or 2 from a reputable Escort service for him for the night. Just remember that Escorts ARE NOT hookers, but they are sometimes strippers…
My brother used to make cakes for bachelor parties. One cake was heart- shaped and had a balloon filled with red food colored water inside it which burst when it was cut. One cake had a rat trap inside. One cake was made of an industrial-sized sponge with frosting on top. The one he made for me when I got engaged was an actual cake but it had an actual dead fish on top with a hook through its lip.
And the most important rule is that the bride, bridesmaids, female friends, or any women who are not strippers or hookers should not be within 50 miles of the festivities.
Not necessarily. UncleBill and I had a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at a strip club with a bunch of the guests–we designated it as a co-ed event, but none of the couples could/wanted to come, so it ended up just being a bunch of his buddies. We sat stageside, and I had lots of fun putting dollar bills in the girls’ cleavage. We were going to both get lap dances, but couldn’t pick out two girls we both liked.
Or, you could just not marry women who’ll freak out over a trip to the strip club.
I think the two important points are:
Do something that the groom will enjoy, whether it’s strippers or skee-ball. The party’s for him.
Don’t do anything that will interfere with the wedding or associated events. That includes not allowing him to get so drunk that he’s hung over at his wedding, or doing something that will cause him to miss his wedding. That also includes not doing anything really unsafe.
The last Bachelor Party I went to was for a good friend of mine. I was in his wedding party, so between me and the other three guys we had single handedly the greatest party of all time!
A fine dinner, four bars, and a long time female friend doing what had to have been the finest strip teases I have ever seen all cumulated in all four guys in tuxes still half drunk.
Oh the joy.
Don’t do that though.
Drinking is bad. Especially when the booze is on fire.
I agree with you there. Funny thing with this girl was, she didn’t freak out about the fact that there was a strip club involved; she was more pissed that her husband had lied to her.
The bridesmaid who was planning my bachelorette party had car trouble while she was picking up some supplies for the night on the town. She SAYS she called my house (but didn’t leave a message!) and drove by, but it didn’t look like anyone was home (we had every light in the house on). Sooooooo…
Me, my sister-in-law (herself a stripper), one of my good friends from childhood, and my brother (married to the stripper) met up with the bachelor party at SIL’s club (she had tickets for free entry).
I got just as hammered as hubby-to-be, and had GREAT fun with the boobies. ( mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm … boobies) When they hauled him up on stage to embarass him, the DJ mentioned that I was there, so I got up on stage and did the bump-n-grind on him (he was seated) while the other 3 girls danced around us (they all thought it was the cutest thing they’d ever seen). Out of the 8-10 bachelors who were being humiliated that night, mine got the biggest cheers (well, I got the cheers, I guess :). )I even got a lap dance from a lesbian dancer (she bit my nipple!!) while H-T-B watched.
We had the HOTTEST SEX EVER when we got home that night.
I think MeanJoe had the best input. That is talk to the groom, to find out what he wants. If he really wants to get laid before hand, that’s his business, but by knowing before hand, you can make sure that everyone there is trustworthy, or that the event doesn’t take place where anyone can see it. Likewise, if he doesn’t want something, you can make sure his desires are known to the group.
