Well somehow I’ve been given the responsibility of planning a bachelor party this weekend. I don’t know how big the group will be, but I’m sure the typical strippers won’t go over well. If only for the cost. This group is notoriously cheap. I think can convince them to spend maybe $50-$75 each. Last bachelor party I went to, I was asked to put in $100, and that was before the 2 girls started taking their clothes off.
Anyway, I think the party can either begin or end at a strip club since that’s only about $20-$40. But otherwise, what should I do?
I’m in SoCal, so I was thinking about getting the group to go fishing on a charter. Any other ideas?
Thanks for ideas in advance
My experience has been that neither a strip club, nor strippers, are necessary. There always seems to be one guy who is very excited about the idea (usually a married guy), and the rest go along with the idea because they are supposed to. Generally, the last person that wants strippers is the groom to be.
A fishing charter would be great, especially if you catch anything ( as opposed to the “strippers” where catching something is a negative). A camping trip can be fun, too as long as someone can carry all the beer.
The most important thing is that all of the guys get together, have a chance to talk, trade stories, give bad advice ( the best way to begin an argument is with the words “you know what your problem is?”), get wasted, and safely get home.
We did paintball for my friend Matt’s bachelor party and it was a lot of fun. Plenty of down time for hanging out and shooting the shit, but also a lot of fun and a directed activity so the folks who didn’t know the other folks well didn’t feel left out.
Also, I disagree with Cletus about the strippers. Don’t get a stripper, certainly, as that’s expensive and a little creepy, but going to a strip club is de rigeur. Plus, if your groom doesn’t end up being whipped with his belt by a topless girl or closthespinned by a girl covered in shaving cream, you’ve not done your job.
