If you are given the honor of being someone’s best man in their wedding, you have plenty of responsibilities. You need to be there for the groom on his big day. You also need to make a toast at the reception. While these responsibilities are important, planning the bachelor party is the most important of your duties. It is up to you to make your friend’s last night out as a single man as fun and memorable as possible. When you are planning the party, there are a few tips that you should follow to throw the percent hen party.
#1 Remember It is the Groom’s Night, Not Yours
Just because you love playing golf, it doesn’t mean that the groom loves to play golf. Therefore, you shouldn’t throw a golf bachelor party just because you enjoy it. Since it is the groom’s party, you want to do something that he loves to do, even if it isn’t your favorite thing.
#2 The Guest List
When you making the guest list for the people that you are going to invite, you need to keep the groom in mind. Just because you are the one throwing the party, it doesn’t mean that you can invite your buddies from work who the groom has never met. You need to invite the groom’s friends, even if you have never met them. You also want to include his future in-laws to the guest list as long as the groom agrees. His future father-in-law, his future brother-in-law, and even the bride’s best male friends should be included in the guest list. Before you send out invites, give the groom the guest list so that he can approve the guests you plan to invite and to add anyone that you may have forgotten.
#3 The Groom Shouldn’t Spend a Dime
It is very important that the groom spends no money at his bachelor party. This means that you and the other guests should pay for his dinner, his drinks, and any other expenses that come up during the party. Before the party begins, sit the other guests down and let them know that the entire group is responsible for making sure that the groom doesn’t spend any money.
#4 Strippers Are a Must
Having a stripper at the bachelor party is a tradition for most men. Before planning to go to a strip club or hiring a male stripper Melbourne to perform elsewhere, you should make sure that it is okay with the groom. If he is on board, it is up to you to find the best Perth Strippers. The last thing that the groom will want is for an overweight, over-the-hill, inexperienced stripper performing at his party. If you are planning to take him to a strip club, visit the club on the same night of the week that the party will be held. This will give you a chance to see the talent that you can expect to see on the night of the party. You should also find out if the club has a bachelor party package. If they do, they will do most of the planning for you. If you are planning to hire a stripper to dance at a venue other than the strip club, you don’t want to choose the first girl that you find in the classifieds. You want potential strippers to send photos and a little bit about their experience. This will help you create a short list of women that you can have come to you and audition for the job. If you cannot find any classified ads for strippers, talk to the girls at the local strip club. Many girls will do work on the side. When you see them dancing at the club, you can look at it as their audition.
#5 It is All About the Groom
The most important tip to remember is that the party is all about the groom. If you are out and he is ready to leave, you all leave. The groom calls the shots and you and the rest of the guests should listen. If you have reservations and you have a schedule to keep, make sure that the groom knows so he doesn’t think that you are ignoring his requests. If his requests are valid, listen. It is his night, not yours.
If you follow the tips listed above, you should be able to throw a bachelor party for your friend that they will never forget.
