Having a bachelor’s party before the big day is a way of allowing the bridegroom to enjoy his last days of bachelorhood. It is usually the best man that is responsible for this. Below are tips that will help you give the bridegroom a bachelor party that he will always remember.

#1. Guest list

Since it is a bachelor party, the guest list should be strictly guys only. The best man should invite all the close friends and relatives of the groom. Remember that these should be people that are close to the groom and can get along well.

#2. Date

It is often the case that the party is set a day before the wedding. This is not really the best day as the bridegroom might be too exhausted from the previous day’s party or even wake up with a hangover if he drank too much. You need the groom to be sober on his big day. Having it a week before the wedding or even earlier might be the best idea.

#3. Location

In this day and age, a bachelor’s party can be anywhere. It can be in form of a road trip, sports day etc. however the typical bachelor party will involve strippers, gambling, drinking, clubbing etc. No matter the place, the best man should make sure that it’s a place where the guests will feel comfortable especially the groom. To be on the safe side, use the groom’s passion to guide you. For instance, if he loves adventure, you can take him for white-water rafting, skydiving, or rock climbing etc.

#4. Invitations

Bachelor parties are mostly informal, so phone calls and emails will do. Remember to add important information such as the time place and how the bill will be shared. Try to send the invitations as early as possible (maybe a month before) so that invitees can clear their schedule.

#5. Be in control

Remember you are the best man, which means you are in charge of everything. Make sure that the guys have fun but also make sure that people don’t get too drunk to drive home. If you think this is inevitable, hire a limo or car service for the night, have a designated driver, or make sure everyone takes a cab home.

#6. Be creative and have fun

Remember it is the grooms last day or outing as a bachelor so you have to do all it takes to ensure that he is having fun and it’s memorable for him. Avoid anything that will bore him out. Take time out to plan it with friends and to put the best and most exciting ideas together. This is the last night of his bachelor life and you want to give him the biggest sendoff possible. It could even be in a form of a surprise party.

Remember under no circumstances should the groom spend his money on this day. The goal is to have a good time, celebrate the groom and the big commitment he is about to take, and remember to take lots of photos!
