BACHELOR PARTY

As the wedding nears, start getting the arrangements made for the bachelor party. About a month before the wedding, the Best Man should obtain a list of relatives, friends, and ushers that should be invited to the bachelor party. If you want to make this a party that will be a surprise, get this list from the Groom’s parents, or the Bride. Several things should be remembered when planning the bachelor party. First, the theme should fit the Groom’s style.

If you are planning a surprise bachelor party, you will need to make special arrangements with the Bride or another close person to get the Groom to the location where the party will be. For the ultimate surprise, have the bachelor party during the middle of the week when the Groom will not be expecting it.

Invitations are not needed unless you are dealing with a huge number of people. Generally, the wedding party ushers, relatives, and friends will make up the invitee list. Just be sure as the Best Man that you invite all of the important people that the Groom considers his friends. After all, you want this to be a celebration involving the people that mean the most to him.

The food and drink are often the responsibility of the Best Man when the bachelor party is held in a rented hall or in someone’s home. It is perfectly fine to ask the mother of Groom for a few goodies. Additionally, make food yourself and ask attendees to bring something with them. Sometimes the bachelor party is held at a hotel, which is a great idea if people plan to drink. This way, you will be assured that no one will be drinking and driving.
