I have to host a bachelor party for my brother. I'm in need of creative ideas. Yes, I know the usual party "entertainment" most people will suggest. I'm actually looking for something other than women and beer. Something he will never forget and actually like to remember. Any suggestions?

Coke and hookers.

Nothing beats a bowling party.

Rent the movie `batchelor party` for ideas. Then rent a donkey.

[simonjames]

here is my $0.02AUD - sorry but these all tend to be on the expensive side. You didn't quote budget.

wine tasting weekend; private visit to a boutique brewery (including food); private cinema session of a classic movie (that you're brother would like); a day of kart racing; paint ball; advanced driving course; korean bath house

[phantomdragonz]

Skydiving?

here in colroado it's $180 for a tandem jump, with a full minute of free fall.... and think about how long that free fall will be! and I am already at 5,300ft

Korean bath house... oh, sorry, I was caught in the moment.

uh, right... just slip tabs of acid to everyone. They will never forget it.

[Salty]

Take him out to buy a G5 that you guys are paying for... that'd be the ultimate bachelor party for me... though... I think I might then end up playing with it the night before and sleeping through the service

[MacNStein]

We just lumped the bachelor and bachelorette parties in together. Did have a stripper though (it was Sarra after too many Mai Tais). Luckily she stopped at her thong.

If you want to remove (most of) the naked chicks, go to a college or pro football game. It's a great "guys' night out".

Naked stripper.

The golden rule of night-before-wedding parties: "Don't do anything you wouldn't want your fiancee to do". You may get chided for this, unless of course both fiancees are OK with having strippers at parties (hey, it happens sometimes), but it's the best way to prevent ill will from one or both sides.

i'm guessing the best answer is the stags clothes, the worst thing would be her skin

[LilWolfChokingOnCigs68]

Go hiking somewhere pretty, then camping, all guys. Male bonding experience.

See.. the thing with Bachelor parties is that it's the man's last 'dance'.... it's the last time (supposedly at least) for him to enjoy the gems of bachelorhood.... so you really need to do something that he can't (or is not suppose to) do after that ring is on his finger. So .... I would say look up Dr. Philgood.... I will NEVER forget my bachelor party (its been years.. and I can still remember it like it was yesterday... can still smell...- nevermind). Yes, it does involve girls and beer... but c'mon... its more than just bar hopping and visiting strip clubs. To make it even better - rent a yacht (if possible) and have the entertainment on there. This way, you can just hang with everyone afterwards and bond.

Aside from that, I like the parachute idea.... or maybe even one of those dogfighting schools...

Or maybe both... the outdoor activity during the day.. and the entertainment in the evening.

I couldn't disagree more. Starting off your marriage after a night of scandalous debauchery doesnt' seem right to me at all. To me, the fact that someone is getting married means that they're above that, that they've found a person who they want to spend the rest of their life with. As for the 'gems' of bachelorhood, the only thing that I'm missing out on is time with the guys. I see my male friends a lot, but Kristin is usually with me. That isn't a bad thing, she's freakin' awesome for a girl, but it isn't QUITE the same. You don't want to fart in front of girls, etc etc. That's why I suggested camping. After your friend gets married, believe me, his sex life will be great. Sometimes it's really really frequent, sometimes it's not, but it's pretty freakin cool to be with someone you trust so much as to have legal/spiritual/mental bindings with. The guy-time, however, does get drastically reduced. Hence the gem I do kinda miss is just hanging out with the guys. For my bachelor party I got driven down to Chicago and went to this badass club in a super old deteriorating theater where I got to see Paul Van Dyke, BT, and the Crystal Method with all of my guy friends. Everyone was buying me drinks, even people I didn't know. There were girls around, and yeah, they were hot, but... I feel good that I didn't do anything stupid.

Macroy, question for you specifically: Would you enjoy it if your wife went out and saw male strippers and did scandalous things with him? I kinda doubt it.

I think in this world of women's liberties and equal rights you can't stop your woman from going to see a naked man on stage waggling his bits about.

It's not about the seeing of naked people, it's more psychological than that.

For example... on your last night as a single man to go to a strip club, and have a private dance from a lady is nothing more than a confirmation of your love for your wife to be.

For you to sit in the presence of such a sleazy environment, with women draping themselves on you, and do nothing more than LOOK should be a re-assurance to your wife to be that she is the only one for you.

If you didn't want to be faithful, you'd probably be off shagging hookers, but I don't know many people that would take things that far on a stag do.

On the ideas front, I don't know if you have this kind of thing in the US, but the last stag do I was on we took part in 'It's A Knockout'

It's a assault course, team challenge kind of thing, where teams of people compete with each other. Was great fun, didn't involve alcohol (banned for safety), and allowed some of that male bonding that everyone seems so fond of before we went out and got supremely drunk.

She did for her little "soiree".... and I couldn't care less. I trust her. And I on the other hand.. didn't do anything that she wouldn't have approved. It was all done in entertainment.

In fact, she actually enjoyed the pictures that came of it.

The "scandalous debauchery" you're referring to is mostly "acting" or pretend. No one actually got laid there... It was all in fun. But I still wouldn't be doing that after marriage. Just like the marriage ceremony is a "symbol" of a couple's unity.. the bachelor party is a 'symbol' of a single man's last opportunity to party before he settles down.

I think we just disagree on the venue.... I had no need to 'male bond' as I do that all the time even now.... with and without my wife. Most of my friends consider her part of the gang... so its all the same. Hell, some folks take their wives to strip clubs...

But sure - disaggree all you want. It was just my suggestion.

[capuchin]

Hmm. Bachelor party ideas:

1. Dinner at an expensive restaurant with a bunch of married guys bitching about their wives.

2. Mediocre strip club (note, most places will skip the cover charge for the groom/best man).

3. Dennys/IHOP at 2am to try and soak up some of the alcohol.

4. Waking up at 5am with an attack of cold feet.

5. Two words: "Mexico".

[smacintush]

Naked. Midgets. 'nuff said.

[iREZ]

'we're going streaking...bring your hat...c'mon'

[Pendergast]

Tea and crumpets.

Stop them? No. But I'm not sure I'd want to marry someone who'd really be interested in having a total strangers penis flopping around near her either.

Exactly. Why would she be interested in seeing a stripper? It's ****ing trashy and nasty.

For example... on your last night as a single man to go to a strip club, and have a private dance from a lady is nothing more than a confirmation of your love for your wife to be.

So getting a lap dance with a bunch of breasts and lord knows what else rubbed in your face is a confirmation of love? Sorry, I totally disagree with you so much that I'm thinking you're insane.

For you to sit in the presence of such a sleazy environment, with women draping themselves on you, and do nothing more than LOOK should be a re-assurance to your wife to be that she is the only one for you.

1. You don't get laid at strip clubs. Strippers strip. To do nothing more than look is what most EVERY guy does at a strip club, so I don't see how that's reassuring.

2. You get laid a lot more often at other places, meeting new people, etc etc.

3. I don't think I'd want to be with someone who enjoys being in a sleazy environment, nor would I expect my wife to be okay with the idea of me going to strip clubs.

It's unfortunate that you believe you can't party once you're married.

[OreoCookie]

I haven't had my bachelor party yet, but still, I think the secret to a good party are the `right' people. Make sure to invite everybody your brother would want you to have there. With good friends and fun, you can party anywhere.

Then, depending on your style, taste and budget, you could go and have a bbq at the beach with lots of beer, booze and talk or hit the clubs. I would be more of a chillin' at the beach-type of guy, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

I also wouldn't necessarily say `don't do something your (future) wife wouldn't want you to do'. I don't mean creating an issue that might prevent a marriage, but I think the very idea is to do something you can't later on.

I also think, the parachute (or paragliding) idea is appealing, but I'd suggest something your brother would do with his buddies together. I double all of his friends will shell out $180 for that or even jump

Oh, and one last thing: make sure someone documents everything meticulously

Is it common in the US to have the bachelor party (we call it bucks or stag party) the night before the wedding? That is a pretty big risk!

In the UK we normally have them between a month and a couple of weeks before the wedding day. It is similarr in Australia except we also have quite a few a week before the wedding due to people having to travel long distances. That is exactly the case for me at the moment as my wife and I just flew from London to Australia on Monday for my best mates wedding. His bucks party is this weekend and the wedding is on the 10th.

For his bucks we are having lunch at the local sports/football club, then we have hired a bus for the rest of the day/night which will take us to a casino for a couple of hours, back to his place for a big BBQ, then on to the local strip with nightclubs and probably a strip club. All pretty tame really.

I think the idea of a bachelor party is to help the guy have a best a time as possible. I am not one for tieing someone naked to a fence or crap like that. A small amount of humiliation is fine though . We are chaining a big mug to the guys arm and he will have to drink out of that all night.

I am not sure what the definintion of a bachelor is in the states but here it is for a bloke who is unattached. Now correct me if I am wrong, but if one is just about to get married, they have probably been in a relationship with the girl their marrying for a while already thus the having "one last night as a bachelor" would have happened long before. Not trying to be a bastard about that, its just the I agree with the Rob that a guy doesn't have to change how he acts or what he dows when he gets married. Ask my wife, I do all the same things now (it was our three year anniversary two days ago ) that I did in the three years we were together before we got married. Obviously those things are not quite the same as before we met but...

Treat the bloke to a good night, obviously make sure that he doesn't have to pay for a thing, he isn't marked or damaged and he doesn't do anything he would regret later. Other than that, pretty much anything is on.

Two words?

[jebjeb]

Forgot to mention, mybucks party was actually a weekend. We went to Dublin, Ireland for two nights. Three of my best mates, my dad and my two brothers came. It was the first time that all three of us brother had been together in about 7 years due to inter-country living.

We drunk lots of Guinness, did some sight-seeing, went to the Guinness brewery, ate some great food and drunk a lot of Guinness. The worst thing they did to me was make we walk around town in the evening with a kangaroo pouch, tail and ears on. To be honest, it was a chick magnet!

[rozwado1]

How 'bout a few bottles of Chardonnay followed by playing dress-up with a quick game of grab-ass. Finish with a group hug.

Well... I don't think my wife will approve of me engaging in things like fondling dancers breasts, licking whipped cream off of some dancers ta ta's, having dancers lick the same off of my inner thighs, penetrating a dancer with a dildo..... and more.

But hey, if that's something you do every weekend, and your wife approves - More power to ya.

I'm fine snuggling up with her and watching a movie or hanging out with friends.

[olePigeon]

How about a pinata? Maybe one that looks like Summer Wheatley?

[glideslope]

Ah, man does this thread bring back memories. 1979. It was at a friends camp. It was 200' from the deck to a straight drop of 80' to a lake. We had a live band, and kegs. No strippers, no porno. At 5a we could not find a guy who had never been to the camp. We went nuts thinking he went over the cliff. We found him after 30min sleeping under a pickup truck. He later admitted that he went under the vehicle due to not wanting to appear that he could not hold his beer. Ah, the good old days.

Sorry. I really did not offer any ideas. I would be very careful these days with who serves the alcohol. I would have it as Bring Your Own.

Again, I find it sad that you think the only way to party is to lick whip cream off some strange slut's breasts or engaging in sexual activities with some trashy girl. I party quite frequently without doing anything scandalous or trashy. You seem to be lusting after trashiness, in which case I'd suggest you sell your mac, get a dell, and move into a trailer home.

Good for you. I'm glad you can tell so much about me from a suggestion that pretty much falls in line with tradition (be it good or bad) and make a suggestion on how to live my life.

Perhaps I should take your suggestion - this way you'll approve of my using a SUV to lug it around.

[Paco500]

My bachelor party was a trip to Dave and Busters- it's a restaurant with arcade games. It's a grown up place- they have a full bar and decent food. It was a blast.

A friend of a friend's bachelor party consisted of he and a few friends playing Risk with a few strippers. No dancing, no funny business, they just came in, got nekkid, and played Risk- his favorite board game.
