So you’ve been tasked with planning a bachelor party for
your old friend. Well, you’ve come to
the right place! We all have some idea
what goes on at bachelor parties, but there are a few things to consider if you
are planning one.
You must think about your venue. Ideally, you are going to want some relative
privacy. A vacation home or chalet is
ideal, as it is private and comfortable.
A hotel suite is also a good choice.
A private room at a restaurant or night club can also work very
well. All in all, your venue might well
be determined by the activities you have planned.
Transportation to and from the venue is another thing to
consider. You want to be sure that none
of the guests are going to be driving. We
all know that incredible amounts of alcohol will be consumed that night, so
plan ahead. You are going to want
designated drivers. The challenge will
be to find guests that are not going to party.
Another possibility is to rent a limousine. Why not ride in style for the night?
Entertainment is the next aspect to consider. Now every party is going to be different, so
why not let the interests of the groom dictate the entertainment? If he is a big sports fan, consider renting a private box for his
favorite game. If the groom is
interested in cards, organize a poker tournament. And if he is interested in drunken
debauchery, well, you know what to do.
Bachelor parties have certainly evolved over the years. At one time, they were gentlemanly black-tie
affairs hosted by the father-in-law or best man. It was a chance for the men to get to know
one another. In modern times, they have
evolved (devolved?) into nights of drunken madness often involving exotic
dancers. Many modern grooms-to-be are
responsible and respectable young men, who don’t wish to do anything that might
taint their forthcoming marriage.
Marriage is a very special and important time in the lives
of the bride and groom. If you are
planning your buddy’s bachelor party, try to be thoughtful and considerate of
his situation. Perhaps, he is only too
eager to leave the strippers and drunken high jinks behind. Maybe he just wants to grow up!
