Traditionally, the groom’s best man plans the bachelor party, though he can always get help from other friends that will be attending the big last night out with the guys. With a little organization and some planning ahead, you can ensure a night your friend will never forget.
Step 1: Setting The Date
If you think the night before the wedding is the perfect time for a bachelor bash, think again. The last thing the nervous groom needs on the big day is a hangover. Plus a big night on the town before the walk down the aisle will surely stress the bride out (which is to be avoided). You should schedule the main event up to a month before the wedding and, at the very least, schedule it a week in advance, preferably on the weekend. Some people from out of town won't be able to attend, but if they do want to show up they can use the advance notice to make plans. Be sure to send out invitations or call invitees at least three weeks before the party. This way, you'll be able to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Step 2: Making The Guest List
The bachelor party began as a gentlemen's party. A civilized evening of drawing-room drinking, smoking, and toasting to the bride's health. Boy, have things changed. While most of today's bachelor parties have ditched the civilized bit in favor of a raunchy night on the town, the list of attendees has stayed the same. The best man throws the shindig and invites friends and relatives of the groom, usually male-only. The only caveats: the list shouldn't include 100 of the groom's closest friends, nor should it include people that don't get along.
Step 3: Selecting the Location
Bachelor parties can take place almost anywhere. The typical bachelor party usually involves some combination of the following: booze, strippers, gambling (maybe not in that order). But, the trend these days is toward old-fashioned guyness -- a weekend spent bonding in the woods, for example. Others plan high-adrenaline adventures such as white-water rafting, skydiving, or rock climbing. Tamer bachelor parties might involve a weekend in Vegas gambling, a round of golf and a nice steak dinner, or a fancy night at a cigar bar. Of course, weekend trips involve travel and related expenses. If time is of the essence or all parties involved are on a budget, then a local bar, a hotel room, or the best man's apartment are fine bachelor party locales.
Step 4: DON”T FORGET! Bring Money
Nothing brings the fun to a halt like having to find an ATM or pooling resources to pay off the bill. Plan accordingly! This also translates into the obvious that if the collected group is financially compromised, you may have to cut corners where possible, such as throwing the party at a private residence and taking up funds in advance to stock the food and booze accordingly. It doesn’t mean that the soirée need suck by comparison, as ultimately, the party is only as much fun as the members who comprise it.
Step 5: Deciding on Transportation
This is a very important part of the bachelor party. Ensure that there are designated drivers or have the number to a taxi service on hand. You want to make sure that everyone gets home safely after the party is through. You can hire a limousine service, but this can be costly. It all depends on how much you want to spend for the Bachelor party. You can also make the bachelor party an over night event, so that everyone who comes to the party, stays the night and goes home the next morning when they are all sober. This possibility alleviates the worry of drinking and driving, but also opens the possibility to a longer party event. The choice is yours, just be sure everyone is safe. By following these simple tips to planning a bachelor party, you can be sure everyone will have a great time; your party will go smoothly and create some great memories that will last a lifetime for the groom-to-be.
Step 6: Drinks, Drinks and Drinks
Ideally, this party will only happen once per guy, and it’s a right and proper thing to toast his success with the new Mrs. with quality hooch, at least one glass, even if the bridegroom loves his cheap swill over fine Champagne. Good suggestions include rare Whiskey, Vintage Vino, good Cognac, expensive Sake´. And for the love of god, go slow on that stuff if you want it to be a long party because nothing will suck so much as anyone/everyone getting too shit-faced too early to drive it into the wee hours.
Step 7: Last Supper: A High End Meal
Leave the six foot Subway sandwiches to the dogs, you’re out for a special, memorable experience. Make a reservation at a five star joint and let them know in advance that this will be a very important occasion. They’ll be flattered that you chose their establishment and they will bend over backwards to impress you. Consider arranging a pre-fix menu Du Jour with the chef involving three or more courses so that everyone knows what they’re in for and any special diets can be accommodated; this way you can also pre-arrange your budget. In parties of six or more it is customary to include the gratuity in the bill, but it doesn’t hurt to ask when making the call. If they prefer this arrangement, ask that it be set at 20%. Also - it will be the Best Man’s sole responsibility to tip the maître d’ separately. Don’t chintz out, you’ll get exceptional service as a result, from soup to nuts.
Step 8 Hiring Strippers or Exotic Dancers
Along with the stupid novelty presents, the presence of dames is a mainstay of the bachelor party. Most often you’ll wind up taking your man out to the local jiggle shack, and that’s just fine, even if it’s so run-of-the-mill and mundane it’s boring to discuss here. A lot of folks who take their party in a residence will arrange for some dancers to come out for a private show. In these cases expect there to be a beefy dude waiting in a car outside or, as often as not, he’ll come in and watch from a removed distance. (I did that on the side for several years.) It’s worth throwing him a $20 to set him at ease and let him know that he can relax, as his women are clearly with a respectful group; it’ll also send the dancers the same message, and your gang will almost certainly get a better show. Tip like money is going out of style in any case; the very act of tipping makes us feel good. Conversely, it’s common for arrangements to be made with female friends of the best man, or even old girlfriends to come and send the groom off with a personal touch (that may or may not be a pun). She/they show up at the bar/restaurant/home where your event is going down, and spend a few drinks’ worth of time making the poor fellow feel uncomfortably aroused and teased and embarrassed, much to the delight of his fellow men. Be very careful with this option! This is one great way to get your boy in dutch with the bride if she finds out/is sensitive about such things.
Under no circumstances should anyone take pictures of this section of the evening, or discuss it to any length with the bride. Of course the temptation is great. But this is not to be documented for anyone’s posterity. It’s uncool and unclassy to get your friend in trouble, and it’s disrespectful to rub the bride’s nose in it. My brother’s best friend actually called his bride-to-be from the road and described the entertainment over the phone to her.
Step 9 Keep an eye on everyone
While you're getting down with all the fun things that you've planned, be sure to look out for your guests as well.
1. During the activities and games, keep an eye on your crowd. If a particular activity isn't catching on, then move on to the next one.
2. If someone doesn't want to participate at all, then that's okay too. Try not to take it personally.
Step 10 The Next Day
All in all, the odds are stacked that by the time the sun rises you’re all going to be well on the way to pain. You’ve eaten, drunk, snorted, smoked, run amok, and treated your bodies like a playground. Time to repair that damage. Keep multivitamins within arm’s reach, purified water, freshly squeezed juice, good bacon and fresh eggs and solid bread for toasting. Perhaps arrangements could be made to have breakfast catered, how classy would that be?
