When a groom chooses a best man to stand by his side as he is getting married, that best man has several important responsibilities. One of the more important responsibilities of a best man is to come up with a bachelor party that the groom will never forget. It is important to keep everything as safe as possible, but there is also the strong need to take a few chances that will create a very memorable night.
Spend Some Time With The Groom
In most cases, the best man already knows the groom very well. But there is a chance that the best man and the groom have never actually sat down and discussed what the groom would like for a bachelor party. According to Bankrate.com, the best man should take the groom out for the night and talk about the groom’s expectations for the bachelor party.
The groom may have some instructions from the bride that should be followed to insure that the wedding day still goes off without a hitch. There may also be ideas the groom has that the best man may not be aware of which could create a great bachelor party. In the search for good bachelor party ideas, the best man should start his search by asking the groom for input.
A Sports Dream Come True
This one may be a little pricey, but it would definitely be a night to remember if you could pull it off. The Huffington Post recommends renting a luxury box and an amateur or professional sporting event and using that as the location for the bachelor party.
Your biggest limitation in this bachelor party idea is the rules of the luxury box as put down by the team and the arena. But if you can find a way to fit your bachelor party fun within the rules of the luxury box, then it would definitely be a winning combination.
Renting A House In The Country
We talked to Ride the Experience about their ideas, and they said that bachelor party that consists of all-terrain vehicle races over open fields and a bonfire to cap off the day may sound like the ideal situation for you and your groom. The problem is that you do not know anyone who owns a house in the country that will allow you to pull something like that off.
They added, “There are facilities you can rent that are in rural areas and have all of the amenities you would need to have a memorable bachelor party. Sometimes taking your bachelor party away from heavily populated areas is best for your party and for the people in those heavily populated areas.”
The Random Road Trip
It sounds like the premise for a Hollywood movie, but you may want to consider piling the party into vehicles and just going on a random road trip. It helps if the bachelor party is small, just to make sure that everyone can keep track of each other and reduce the chances of someone getting left behind at a hotel hundreds of miles from home.
If the idea of a random road trip does not appeal to you, then plan a long road trip for the day and just don’t tell the groom where you are going. For example, you could tell everyone in the party to meet you and the groom at a ski lodge a couple of hours away and then just drive the groom there on your own. You could even blindfold the groom to add to the intrigue that he probably already feels.
A bachelor party is a once in a lifetime event that has to be planned well in advance to be pulled off just right. When you get the perfect bachelor party idea, then take the time to get the details perfect and give the groom a party he will never forget.
