Best Man’s guide to planning a bachelor party
You’re the best man, you want to show the groom a good time, and you want this night to be a story you tell years from now. Here’s the way you have been searching for to throw a legendary bachelor party without getting you or the groom in trouble.
* Ask the Groom What He Wants
You can call him “wus” if you want, but the truth of the matter is that the groom may not really want to engage in 6-12 hours of boobs, booze, and boorish behaviour. So, before you do anything, ask him for suggestions. This doesn’t mean you can’t surprise him and make “boobies” the central theme for the evening, but just cop a feel for his bachelor party feelings before you make that group booking at the closest strip joint. You may want to run your guest list by him as well.
* Do Not Throw the Bachelor Party the Night Before the Wedding
The bride and groom have most likely spent every cent they have on this wedding, so it’s only common courtesy to allow the groom to be sober for it. Throwing the party a week or even a month before the wedding gives you plenty of time (both to sober up and in a worse case scenario, have time for hair / eyebrows to grow back and any bruises to have healed). Be sure to send out invites 3 weeks to a month before hand, so out-of-town guests can make travel plans.
* ʼn Boer maak ʼn plan
Even though the usual story is to meet at somebody’s house and “see what happens”, proper planning always ensures a great party. As the best man, you are responsible for making sure the party keeps rolling, so a sturdy plan of Pure Guy Fun will secure your popularity with your buddies. You probably didn’t realise how many different options you had available to you. Between inflatable pubs (in SA – seriously), beer tours, quad biking, human foosball, fat slapper suits (perfect for working out pre-wedding tension) and loads more, the hardest thing you’ll have to do is decide is which option to go for. Go to www.itsadate.co.za for a full listing of what’s available.
* Please, Please Designate a Driver
How awful would it be if someone from the bachelor’s party couldn’t make the wedding because he got a DUI, arrested, or worse? For the sake of all of us worried wives & girlfriends out there, please make sure everyone has a sober ride home. It’s a Date has a range of transport options available, as well as packages which include accommodation, so make sure that everyone makes it safely home.
Cheers mates!
