How To Plan A Bachelor Party

The bachelor party is the singular most important event leading up to a man’s wedding. It’s his farewell to the single life, one final hoorah before he commits himself to one woman for the rest of his life. That’s why it needs to be planned properly.

Pick the Right Location

More important than anything is determining where this shindig is going to go down. Sure, you can simply throw it at your house or a dive bar down the road, but that’s taking the easy way out. You’ll probably need to clear it with the future wife, but pick someplace a little exotic, maybe even expensive.

Round Up the Bros

You need to get a good handle on who’s coming to this thing. Nobody should outdrink the groom-to-be on his big night, so leave the party animal at home if you have to. The bachelor should be getting babysat this night, not doing the babysitting.

Chat Up the Wife

Like it or not, it’s only respectful to have a chat with the future bride to discuss boundaries. If she’s uncomfortable with it, it doesn’t need to happen. Bringing in a stripper is a common bachelor party trope, but there are other ways to have a good time.

Decide on the DD

Who’s driving this guy home when he’s too tanked to do it himself? Someone needs to suck it up and be the responsible one, so come to an agreement on the designated driver before the party begins.

Acquire Adequate Libations

How epic is this thing going to be? You’re probably going to need a lot of alcohol, whether you pregame at home or have to have enough alcohol for the entire evening. The worst thing to do would be to run out halfway through the night and have it end early.
