The bachelor party is meant to be THE big party for your boy.
Whether you choose to include the strippers or not (we don’t judge) or go down The Hangover route (again, no judgement), you can still shake it up by adding an activity during the day that will thrill, challenge or excite the groom-to-be.
A no brainer, really. While a DIY bar crawl is the easy option, this is your friends’s big night, so it shouldn’t be treated like just another Saturday night with the guys. America is a melting pot of breweries and microbreweries, so the world really is your oyster.
Test the ability of your group to problem-solve their way out of an escape room, team up to conquer all in a game of laser tag or paintball, or take it to the field for a non-competitive day of clay shooting or archery.Book with ViatorBook with Adrenaline
The possibilities here are practically endless and can be anything from skydiving and bungee jumping to hitting up a theme park and jet skiing. What hasn’t he done yet?Book with ViatorBook with Adrenaline
Tear down those stereotypes and throw him and the gang into the kitchen to cook up a storm of their favorite food.
Steer away from specific cuisines or techniques so that everyone attending, no matter their level or interest, can get something out of it.Book with ViatorBook with Cloud9 Living
Speaking of food, if cooking isn’t an activity the group is going to like, the act of eating should be.
Pick a restaurant that he’s been raving about but has never had a chance to eat at. You can’t go wrong with a cuisine that he absolutely loves — find the crème de la crème restaurants that serve that style of food and he’ll be fully satisfied.Book with ViatorBook with Cloud9 Living
Get your adrenaline fix by rally driving, drifting, off-road racing, F1 racing, performance driving, drag racing, muscle car driving, tank rides, stunt rides, Porsche driving and more. For a longer-lived experience, you can rent a classic car or luxury car for the day to drive around like a boss.Book with ViatorBook with Adrenaline
Does he have a fear of heights? Get him to skydive or bungee jump. Afraid of the great predators of the world? Throw him into a shark tank! Afraid of flying? There are stunt flying experiences for that, too.Book with ViatorBook with Adrenaline
Good food, good whiskey, good cars. It’s time to spoil the guy who’s about to walk down the aisle with the finer things in life. Book out a private room in a top-notch bar or restaurant and be treated like kings.
Oh, did we forget to mention that cigar bars are a great spot to have some laughs at the end of the night?
Treat the gang to some beers and hotdogs by buying tickets to your city’s favorite sports team — or go real big and get a private box.
On a budget? Organize a day on the field, fishing trip, round of golf or any other sporting experience.Book with ViatorBook with SeatGeek
Pull out the tux and splash the cash by going all out at the casino. Want to keep it private? Hire a service to come and host a casino night or just gather up in the man cave and deal yourselves.
Want to do something out of the ordinary at your bachelor party? With the power of the Internet, nothing is outside the realm of possibility. Hop in a sports car, a helicopter or a hot air balloon for an unforgettable experience. Or schedule an exclusive tour of the groom’s favorite place through Viator to give him a whole new look at something he loves.
If you need even more inspiration to craft a perfect final night of trouble making, look no further. Here are even more ways to have a fun and entertaining night with the guys.
If you don’t want to stick around for your bachelor party, why not visit one of these amazing destinations? They’re the most popular places to celebrate an upcoming marriage.
Check out our full rundown on these epic destinations.
It’s become custom for the groom or the best man to put together some kind of gift from this memorable night. Here are some ideas for gifts the group will love.
Some bachelor parties these days feature clever matching t-shirts for the whole group. If nothing else, it can help you find your friends when you’re less than sober. With creative sayings like “Buy this guy a shot, he’s tying the knot,” these shirts will help you get everyone in the bar celebrating with you.
If you’re looking to design your own custom shirt, we’d recommend connecting with an Etsy seller who can help you. If you want something more generic, Amazon is a great bet for finding matching shirts.
Strip clubs can be a dicey subject among some engaged couples. As long as expectations are clear, there’s nothing wrong with having dancers at your bachelor party or visiting a strip club with the guys, but it’s definitely not worth creating problems in your relationship.
If you’re planning someone’s bachelor party, make sure you ask him whether he’s okay with having strippers at the party or going to a strip club. It’s something he should discuss with his fiancée so that there aren’t any unpleasant surprises to create arguments leading up to the wedding. Even though strip clubs can be fun, your friend’s future marriage is more important, and it will still be a great night without a pole dance show.
You may decide to hire dancers for your party rather than going to a club. Sites like Viator can help you schedule a party bus tour that includes a dancer and more. There are lots of options available.
And if you do decide to include strippers in your night, make sure you tip them appropriately! There’s nothing worse than dudes who sit around the stage all night and only tip a dollar every other song.
