The bachelor party is considered a man’s last stand against becoming what some of us fight against in our youth’s, a family man. Getting married is a big event in a mans life and once we say “I do” nothing is ever the same. Sometimes things get better, sometimes they’re worse but without question different.
So your job as a best man is to make sure that the victim, I mean friend has one of the most memorable nights of his life for all the right reasons. I’m going to lay out a game plan that if followed will result in you being the hero of the night.
Choose the proper venue. The best place to have a bachelor party is at a private residence for many reasons. The most important of which is it lessens the chances that you’ll have to deal with police. If you go out to a strip club you greatly increase the likelihood that someone in attendance will get a dui if they’ve had too much to drink. If the party is at someone’s house if someone goes past their limit then they’ll have somewhere comfortable to crash. If this isn’t possible get a hotel room that isn’t too busy or book two or three adjoining rooms so that other hotel guest don’t complain about the noise. If your insistent on having you’re bachelor party out on the town then rent one of the party buses and have the bus drop everybody off at a location where everyone welcome to stay if needed.
Resist the urge to make your party coed I don’t know who the first guy to attend a baby shower or woman to go to her fiance’s bachelor party was, but if I find out I’ll curse their names to the high heavens. I’ve been to more than a few bachelor parties in my life so I speak from experience. Bachelor Parties with girls suck! There have been a couple of exceptions but generally having girls there make the stripper self conscious and more tame, who wants that. That’s why it’s always a good idea for the ladies to schedule their party the same night as yours so they don’t feel left out.
Schedule your strippers at least a week in advance. Most agencies are more likely to give you the strippers you ordered with advance notice, first come first serve right?
Make Sure everyone has money to tip. There’s one saying that I hear the strippers say at every bachelor party I’ve been to, “the bigger the bill the bigger the thrill”. If you want to make this party live up to your expectations tip your strippers good. Everyone should have at least $20-$100 to tip.
Be respectful. If the girls are made to despise your crowd due to your rude behavior you won’t get as good a show that you would have otherwise.
Don’t make evidence of wrongdoing. In other words don’t take pictures, those always come back to bite somebody in the rear end
You follow the rules and your party is guaranteed to be a success.
