Fun
Bachelor Party Ideas
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
The tradition of the bachelor party may date
as far back as the 1800s. The stereotype of a bachelor party
is a last night of debauchery for the groom and his friends
before the wedding but in more recent times soon to be grooms
are looking to less traditional activities to mark their final
days as bachelors. While there are still would be grooms, who
opt to spend the last hours before their wedding partying with
alcohol and female exotic dancers, many men are choosing a
less traditional route such as camping trips, sporting events,
daredevil activities and even co-ed bachelor parties that include
the soon to be bride and her friends. These types of activities
are much less likely to get the groom in trouble with his bride
not to mention that they won’t leave the groom feeling too
sick to even remember his wedding day.
Camping
is one alternative to the traditional bachelor party. You may choose to either rough it by backpacking to a location
with only the gear on your back to help you survive the elements
for a few days or you could choose to drive to a spa facility
that offers well appointed cabins and five star gourmet meals.
Whichever option you choose, you are bound to have a great
deal of time relaxing and enjoying the company of the rest
of the participants in your bachelor party. A camping trip
offers the groom a quiet atmosphere to reflect with his friends
on the journey he is about to take.
Sporting
events are another great alternative to the usual bachelor
party ideas. You may find that married life does not
offer you as much free time to spend with your friends as you
used to have so take this chance to enjoy a little bit of fun
with your friends. Whether you choose to partake in a sport
of your choice or purchase tickets to see your favorite professional
athletes it is sure to be a great opportunity to bond with
your male friends in the last few days before your wedding.
It is wise to try choosing a sport that all of your guests
will be able to participate in especially if you plan to include
very young or very old guests. In this situation playing a
game of football may not be the best idea but taking everyone
to play a round of golf might be an activity that all of the
guest can enjoy.
Still another activity that translates well into a bachelor
party idea is getting a group of friends together to
try an adrenaline pumping, activity geared for thrill seekers
such
as sky diving or white water rafting. The exhilaration gained
from these activities coupled with the fear factor makes them
a perfect activity for bonding with your friends. These daredevil
activities will cause you and your friends to bond during the
excitement leading up to the event as well as the thrill of
accomplishing a new activity. While these types of activities
are great for male bonding, it is important to remember that
they are risky activities and there is the danger that you
might be hurt during these activities. If this is your bachelor
party idea of choice you might want to consider holding your
bachelor party well in advance of your wedding to avoid last
minute injuries that delay the wedding.
Co-ed
bachelor parties that coincide with the bachelorette party
are becoming increasingly popular as well. One common
practice involving these adjunct parties is to have the bachelors
and bachelorettes meet at separate restaurants for dinner and
then join each other at a nightclub to cap off the night with
some dancing and a few drinks. These types of parties can be
a great deal of fun because they allow both the bride and the
groom some time apart to spend time with their friends and
then they reunite the couple at the end of the night in a chance
for them to spend time with all of their friends without the
pomp and circumstance that is likely to accompany their wedding
reception.
The debauchery of stereotypical bachelor parties is not the
only way to enjoy a fun-filled bachelor party that gives you
the opportunity to bond with your friends. Camping trips, sporting
activities, extreme adventures and even co-ed bachelor parties
are redefining the traditional bachelor party. These bachelor
party ideas not only serve to keep the groom out of trouble
but also offer the opportunity to enjoy a new adventure.
