Bachelor Party advice?

[BrooklynZoo]

So I've never been part of a real bachelor party before (besides one in the city), but I'm going to have to help plan one for a good friend. Starting from scratch, anyone with some helpful advice on setting one up? Whether it be location, plans, etiquette..whatever. Some possible locations are Vegas, Miami, Montreal (though I heard the girls can be snobby if you don't speak French). Plans I have in mind would be dinner, club(s), strip club. Y'all got experience??

Don't let him do anything which results in him not getting married or getting seriously injured. :lol As for where to go i sense a flood of information coming soon....

[L.Kizzle]

Went to one a few months back.

Go to a strip club, pick out who you like. Rent out a hall for half a day. You are set. It's really for the other and not the groom. Just let him get a lap dance or two and then everyone else fend for themselves.

[Go Getter]

Food. Booze. Strippers. Drugs.


In that order.:oldlol:

huh?

and u did a local party i guess?

[Reef]

I'm going to Vegas next week for one. Dinner, a club, and a strip club sound good. Nothing beats a Montreal strip club (you're actually allowed to touch the girls).

i've been to bachelor parties in each of the cities you listed and i would rank them vegas, montreal, then miami.

HOWEVER...if you have the time, i would recommend going to either asia, croatia, or costa rica instead, i've been to much more ridiculously fun bachelor parties there.

Who is paying and how much they wanna spend?

[Shabba Ranks]

Dude all those places you mentioned are so fooking overated, I went to Austin for a bachelor party a few years back and had the time of my life.

[tontoz]

A few years ago i went to one in Panama City, Panama. We had a blast. One day we rented a boat and took some hookers out with us. Good times. :banana:

for those locations I would think you'd have to stay in the towns (instead of resorts) and you'd probably need someone familiar with the area? I've been to CR before but was confined to a resort almost the whole time.

That's another reason I made this thread... Who's supposed to pay? We all cover ourselves, but what expenses do we pay for the bachelor?

as far as how much we'd be spending.. who knows maybe in the neighborhood of $1,000 per? Just a guess right now

stayed with the locals huh? did you have someone with you that knew the area or could communicate with them? Did you guys bang the hookers and were they hard to find lol

for asia we stayed at hotels and flew around to bangkok, phuket, vietnam, and singapore. we just booked our own activities during the day and picked up girls at the clubs at night.

for croatia we just rented a villa and a yacht for a few days and hired a local service to take care of the rest

for CR one trip we just stayed in the city, for another trip we hired a vip service and got us a villa on the beach. the service took care of everything (excursions, girls, drugs, etc)



That's another reason I made this thread... Who's supposed to pay? We all cover ourselves, but what expenses do we pay for the bachelor?
some groups, the grooms men takes care of all the groom's expenses, sometimes everyone pays themselves except everyone else pitches in only for the groom's girls, it really just depends. i would say at the very minimum don't make the groom pay for his own strippers/hookers whatever.


as far as how much we'd be spending.. who knows maybe in the neighborhood of $1,000 per? Just a guess right now
for vegas, montreal, or miami...1000 per isn't going to get you far or make for a very memorable bachelor party. you are better off going to mexico or CR. might cost a little more to get there, but once you are there everything is dirt cheap and you will be living like kings

in asia, no hookers are needed, they just loved you b/c you were from america. everywhere else, you can find a service to take care of all your vices. knowing some locals will always help of course.

I've done a few of the traditional style, rent a hall, get some half decent catering, do some raffles, get a bunch of strippers thing. I always try to tie in a room for cards. But I have a good hall that handles that.

I've also done a less angry fiance version, where I was able to rent out a deck that runs along the leftfield line of a local independent baseball league team. For a few bucks, it's all you can eat and drink. We got pretty well wasted, haggled the opponents from the ground, and got selected for a lot of the stupid between inning stuff, which was pretty amusing considering we were all half in the bag.

Small local stuff like that I find is always fun.

yeah rethinking that, $1,000 was probably a conservative estimate. As far as covering the groom, yeah I figured we'd split his expenses during the trip (alcohol, girls/strippers, food etc), more wondering if we should be covering his flight/hotel as well.

Those places that you went sound way over budget lol. As far as Mexico, I wonder if its a safe place to visit... and where would you suggest in CR? and why CR over say another spot in the carribean?

Thanks for the help!

[Balla_Status]

Would recommend New Orleans. Could rent a boat or something.

I organized my brother's bachelor party in Miami but was unable to attend due to my transfer overseas.

They had a fantastic time although finding a place was a bitch since it was at the same time as ultra fest.

those places might be a bit more expensive to get to, but once you are there it is super cheap to get VIP service. the biggest problem would be the time, you are gonna waste a day just to get to asia, almost as long to get to croatia. once you are there you might as well stay awhile. i spent three weeks for an asia bachelor party and had a blast. CR might be more practical for you, it's a much shorter flight.

As far as Mexico, I wonder if its a safe place to visit...
mexico is not bad as long as you stay in the resort or touristy areas. i wouldn't venture off the reservation. it's probably your cheapest option.

and where would you suggest in CR? and why CR over say another spot in the carribean?

CR is a popular spot for bachelor parties is b/c prostitution is legal. this also means that some of the hottest girls from all of latin america come to CR. the colombian girls there were so damn hot. also, drugs are pretty easy to come by and good quality. besides the vices, CR is a beautiful country with alot of emphasis on eco-tourism. there are alot of day time activities to do. i have stayed in both san jose (the capitol) and jaco (a beach town on the pacific side) while there we have gone white water rafting, atv riding up a mountain and then jumped off of waterfalls, deep sea fishing, and insanely high and fast zip lining, horseback riding, etc. there's also golfing and volcano tours there but i didn't go. next time i go back i will do more eco tours.

you could also try puerto rico. most people speak english there and there's alot to do as well, but it won't be as easy to find vices as CR.



imo vegas and miami are played out and montreal is overrated. i would rather try new experiences and visit new places. you are also gonna have to drop ALOT of dough to have the full experience there, especially when it's a large group of guys. you are gonna get taxed extra just to get into places b/c you won't have any women with you.

haven't been yet, but i also heard belize and dominican republic are pretty fun so you can look into that. also, like hawker said NO isn't bad either. great food and cheap drinks, but probably won't be as fun as vegas or miami depending on what your tastes are.



Thanks for the help!
anytime

Guaranteed memorable bachelor party:

Requires: Decent amount of money for each attendee, Passport for each attendee

Go to an international airport. Book a flight for the next flight to a country that does not border yours and that nobody in the party has been to before. Once you get there, get drunk (and do drugs if that is your thing) and try to party wherever you can. Best part will be the groom's reveal to his bride:
Groom: "What you do for your bachelorette party?"
Bride: "Oh, we went bar hopping for a bit and then ended up at Sally's where we ate a boob shaped cake and drank alcohol through straws shaped like penises. What about you?"
Groom: "We flew to Bolivia and partied with on a boat at Lake Titicaca with some Incans."
Bride: :biggums:

I've been to Lake Titicaca and played soccer with some Bolivian's on an island. Stayed there the night. Cool experience :pimp:

this fall, the first guy out of my group of friends is getting married. and for his bachelor party, were going to havasu thursday morning(its a river in ca/az that fills up with bros and skeezys wearing pasties during long weekends) for a couple days, then heading to vegas saturday through monday. so essentially, he wants a 5 day bachelor party that falls on labor day weekend.

I got messy in Cuba for mine. Cuba would not be the best country to get arrested in, that's for sure.
