The first step in planning is determining what kind of Bachelor Party best fits the groom. Remember, this event is for HIM, not you and the groomsmen, so he should be comfortable with the type of event chosen.

If you decide to stick with the “traditional” Bachelor Party, you may want to have a conversation with the bride to determine whether or not this is something she can live with. And remember, while you might find it fun to indulge in raucous entertainment that includes strippers and other not-so-shy women, know where to draw the line. The last thing you want to do is coerce the groom into doing something that he’ll later find embarrassing, so be sure to keep the party in check. With a party that involves alcohol, you’ll also want to be sure that everyone has safe transportation from the party to home. And if you’re planning on the fact that everyone will consume large amounts of alcohol, don’t schedule the party close to the wedding. Consider holding it a week or more before so that everyone feels fine for the big day.

Many Best Men now opt for less traditional parties, choosing instead some sort of get-together that might extend over a few days or a weekend. A trip to a nearby lake for fishing, boating, and other watersports might be appropriate for those who enjoy the outdoors. Or perhaps a camping trip to a National Park or a road trip to a favorite destination might be a good choice.

If you’re limiting the get-together to just a day, paint ball is a fun activity for a group of guys as is a trip to a ball game or an amusement park. Want to do something a bit more adventurous? Consider sky diving, but check with the groom and other attendants first to make sure their up for the challenge.

If you’re the Best Man, you don’t have to bear the entire financial burden for the Bachelor Party. Carefully add up all the expenses and split them between all the groomsmen. However, tell them this is your plan upfront so there are no surprises. Be mindful of everyone’s budget. If the groomsmen are all college students, for example, keep the expenses to a minimum.

Above all, have all the details in place before the day of the party so that nothing is left to chance. This way, you can sit back and relax and enjoy the festivities, knowing that you’ve planned a Bachelor Party that will be unforgettable.

The days of being a single man are nearing its end. Those long nights spent partying with friends may soon be in the past. Many other things will be just memories, but one thing you can be sure of, the future looks bright because the groom is about to marry the woman of his dreams.

The transition is just ahead. The best man is looking to create the best time possible for the groom and by doing this he must know something about bachelor party planning. After all, the groom has been working tirelessly to make his bride-to-be happy by doing all the little things that make a wedding great. He has tasted cake until his tongue turned color, he has looked through dozens of wedding magazines until his eyes watered, he has done everything his woman has asked of him to the point of wanting to scream. Now it is his turn, and he must hope the best man turns in a winner.

This can be done with just the right amount of effort. First of all, the best man is going to want to come up with a budget for the evening. He shouldn’t have to pay for everything himself. The other participants should share in the cost as well. Everyone invited to the bachelor party should also be a guest to the wedding. This will make things easier when it comes time to send out the invites. Usually this is done by phone, so as to not confuse and make things more difficult on the best man. These numbers can be had by simply asking the bride-to-be. She may want to help in the planning, and if so the best man may want to oblige. The last thing he wants is to make the future bride suspicious and perk her jealously right before the wedding itself. Although every bride has a good idea as to what goes on at bachelor parties, they can’t be sure as to how their man will behave.

This leads us to what type of party is the best man going to have. Is he going to go with the traditional stripper dancing in the living room giving lap dances to all involved or is he going to do something less conventional like taking the best man fishing? There are numerous possibilities, but whatever choice is made should definitely be something the groom loves to do. You can always add a twist, rather than just running out to the strip bar, make it a day event. If his passion is water skiing take him out to the lake or bay and live it up and then afterwards meet up with the rest of the guys for an evening of drinking and lap dances. But whatever you decide, don’t plan on the night before the wedding, this could create chaos. The last thing you want is for anyone, especially the groom to be late because of an all-nighter.

Overall bachelor party planning is pretty easy to prepare for. Just make sure everyone who should be there is invited and that your plans for the groom won’t destroy the harmony between the bride and groom. Make it a night to remember, for this is a send off to a different life, a life you love and a friend who deserves it.

It’s no secret as to who must make the preparations for the bachelor on his big night. The best man wants to create that one of a kind evening that shall never be forgotten, but it’s not as easy as one would think. There is more to it than just picking up the guys and heading over to the local strip bar. This can be done on any night of the week and maybe it has been done a few times already. If this is going to be a grand send-off why do the same old things. Bachelor party planning can be made easy if you have the right mind set and the right tools to make it happen.

First the tools the best man needs in order to make the bachelor party a success. The tools needed won’t be found in a toolbox. These are mostly hypothetical tools and can be found quite easily. The best place to find the number one tool to keep everyone close to both the bride and groom happy is with the bride. She will certainly have in her possession the guest list to the wedding. Within this list, should be the phone numbers to all who should be invited to the bachelor’s big night. The best man might want to inquire with the bride-to-be who in her family might like to attend. By doing this will keep everyone on her side of the family happy and could possibly prevent any mishaps by the groom. It could also get him in trouble, depending on the type of person he is, so when making the choice to invite any of the bride’s family the best man may want to inquire with the groom once the choices have been made. After all this is his big night and he may not agree with all his lovely ladies choices.

Another tool the best man is definitely going to need is a wallet. The wallet should be fat and with plenty of green inside. If this isn’t the case, there are ways of getting the green needed besides using brute force. The best man should now have in his possession a list with a lot of names on it. They all want the same thing as he does and that is to provide a great time for the bachelor at the party. For this reason the best man should have no problem acquiring the funds needed to provide for such a bash. All he must do is tell them what he has planned and ask if they would like to contribute. The money shouldn’t be a problem.

The other equation in proper bachelor party planning is the mindset. The best man must have this throughout every stage of planning, from dealing with the bride-to-be, to getting the guest list squared away, to making the plans for the party and at the party itself. All this means is the best man must remain focused on the main objective and that is keeping both the bride and groom happy. By doing this he will certainly live up to his job of best man, no matter what he has in store for the bachelor on the big night.

There are many things to do at bachelor parties besides hiring a stripper or running off to the nearest strip club. The best man should know what the groom likes and dislikes. Make it great, and have fun. This could be the last time for such an occasion, so do your best to make it sensational.

On a wedding planning everything evolves around the bride. The groom will do everything in his power to sustain her and make her every wish. He will go with her to choose the flowers, to taste the cake through every wedding dressing shop. So, he deserve something special, a once in a life time party. The bachelor party! It is only about him, throughout the entire wedding process, now is the moment when everything evolves around him. And this is what bachelor party planning must do: giving him the night of his dreams. In most cases the best man is the one that will plan the bachelor party.

The best man will take the lead and the ushers will involved helping him. Finding what the groom would like for this “last night of freedom” will not be such a hard thing as the best man is always his best friend.

We are all used to think that man always like to see a half naked woman dancing on their laps and this is the trend in many bachelor party. Most man wants to have the “night of their live” before they settle down. But the truth is that a good bachelor party is planned following the groom wishes. It is the best man duty to see that he will receive everything that he dream of. If the groom does not want to see anyone but his beloved future wife, there are many other options for this special night.

May be he will be more pleased to go with the boys to an adult arcade where to play games and have some drinks and food, instead of going to a strip bar. Play some paint ball with the groom and all the friends, for a change. It is a good way to relax and escape the stress of the period. It is a good idea to hire a limo and not to designate one of the guys as the driver, after all you want that every one has the chance to feel good at the bachelor party.

One of the most challenging task is making the guest list and deciding who should pay. You should invite any male relatives and most important, the father of the bride and groom and the ushers. It is a good idea to talk to the bride when you decide who should be invited. She will know all the friends of the groom, the dynamics of their relations and the way to contact them. May be it is not a bad thing to see if there are things that she would not appreciate her groom to do. You will be a real friend and you will save the groom from future trouble.

Who will pay for this party is a problem a little more delicate. If you are lucky the father or may be the father-in-law will want to pay for the night. In case this will not happen the solution is to talk to the guys and to split the cost between you. Of course you will not include the groom in this, he will not have to pay for anything at this party.

So after all the planning is done it is time to have a good time, let loose and enjoy the party. Don’t forget, give the groom a bachelor partythat he only dream of, offer him everything he wants.

It is the night of the groom to be. After going through all the details of wedding preparations with the woman of his life, making sure that all her dreams and fantasy come true, it is now time for him.

The time where he shall be at the gate of leaving behind the glorious world of bachelorhood. It is time for the bachelor party.

Since it is the main event for the groom, which is the only thing that is going to be all about him throughout the entire wedding process, bachelor party planning should be entirely about giving him the night he deserves. Everything should end up with a night full of great memories for him that will last forever.

It is most likely for the best man to lead the bachelor party planning. Although it is a great idea to plan something surprising for the groom, it will be a good idea for the best man to know what the groom wants for his last night of freedom.

Why? Well, although a session of erotic female entertainment (you know what I mean) seems to be a favorite trend for bachelor parties, you need to consider that it might not be something that interest the groom. Not all men enjoy looking at someone else dancing around half naked other than the woman of his life.

Maybe a night at the bar will be a good plan. There is sure going to be a lot of practical jokes and heavy laughing going on, which what is normally, follows when a crowd of good friends get together and liquor is involved. Don’t forget to bring a camera or a video recorder, since there are sure lots of hilarious moments to be captured for the everlasting memories.

And it will be best if you have someone sober enough standing by to do the driving afterwards. You don’t want something great turns tragic in the end.

Or why not do all the heavy drinking inside, at one of the friend’s place or a hotel room with an event of card playing. It will be a great opportunity for the guys to get together to play some poker. And since it is a special occasion, enjoy the game with one of life’s dirty pleasures, smoking high quality expensive cigars. It is the final night of the groom bachelorhood, so make the best of it for him. Furthermore, there is not going to be any women around to complain and whine about the gambling or the smoking.

On the other hand, perhaps going for a paint ball game will be a great alternative if no drinking is involved. It is a great way to release the nervous energy that is surely all around him while having fun bonding with all the guys.

Wherever you plan to go, hire a transportation service, a limo perhaps. Everyone at the bachelor party must have an equal amount of fun. We don’t want to have any problems with a designated driver issue.

Now, who should be invited? Who should pay for things? These are the things that most guys have problem figuring out. As all the closest friends obviously will not be left out of the guest list, the father of the bride and groom and any male relatives definitely should be included.

But if you are having doubt about who to invite, it is best to talk to the bride. She will be able to give good suggestions, maybe even provide addresses or phone numbers!

And while you’re at it, try to find out from the bride about things that she may not appreciate her groom getting involved in. Be a good friend, the best of the best man and save your friend from any future problems.

Who pays for the night is a little bit trickier. It is not very often for you to be so lucky to have a father or a father-in-law of the groom who is willing to pay for the whole night.

So, the easiest way to go is; add up how much you assume the night will cost, together with tips for each event and divide it equally among the guys that are going. But leave the groom out of it. It is his night; he does not have to shell out anything obviously.

The main thing is, the bachelor party is all about bonding, letting loose and have a great time. Be the best of the best man you can be and give the groom everything he wants…as long it is legal.

A wedding naturally involves the union of two people, and both the man and the woman will be involved in the planning of the many attendant events, as well as being the stars of the actual marriage ceremony, but from the moment the bride appears, all eyes are upon her. This is her moment—and has been her moment, in fact, ever since she opened the first bridal magazine and started dreaming about her fairy-tale wedding. But don’t forget to do your bachelor party planning before the big day arrives! 

A bachelor party is the only part of the wedding where the focus is exclusively on the groom. It is also referred to as a Stag Party—as well as a Buck’s Night in Australia, and a Bull’s Party in South Africa. By whatever name it goes, this party is the groom’s last chance to spend a night out with his buddies (who, like him, are usually singles). If you are one of the groom’s brothers or his Best Man, the lot will typically fall to you to plan and organize the bachelor party, and to keep it a secret from the groom. But make no mistake: you’ll probably get plenty of advice from the other guys…. 

Some will automatically assume that the whole gang is going to a strip club to get fall-down drunk, or that you’ll be hiring a stripper to do some exotic dancing for the benefit of the groom—and all the guys. But you have to ask yourself: is this what the groom really wants? Chances are the very fact that he’s entering into an exclusive relationship with the girl of his dreams shows that he has eyes only for her. (And you don’t want to have him do something at his Stag Party that he’ll have to apologize for during the rest of his married life.) And if he’s a devout believer, this is a definite no-no. 

However, many bachelor parties these days do involve a significant amount of alcohol consumption and gambling—usually poker in Australia. But you can also go to game arcades, try skeet-shooting etc. In Denmark, bachelor parties consist of breakfast together then paintball battles, kayak polo, or go-karting, then dinner out followed by a night on the town. You might want to take a tip from the Danes and make it a wholesome, fun, all-day event, rather than just a “night out.” 

You could even arrange for all the guys to fly out to a tourist destination on a weekend, a week before the wedding. Lots of budget flights make that scenario economically feasible. Obviously, every participant will need to pay his own way. This applies to all stag party expenses, by the way, whether you go go-karting or do a lot of drinking or eating. Everyone except the groom should pay his own way. 

And of course, lots of bachelor parties involve hazing such as tying the groom-to-be to a pole naked (or wearing just his underwear), dyeing his hair green or making him wear a bikini. Okay, fun is fun, and parties often bring out the juveniles lurking inside us, but don’t go too far. Remember that this is his party and that he’s the guest of honor, not the victim. The French have it right: whatever humiliations they subject the groom to, are usually gentle and in good fun. 

Above all, when you do your bachelor party planning, remember that the idea is to make this a memorable, fun time for all concerned—especially the groom.
