The bachelor is not supposed to decide what happens at his bachelor party. Those decisions are best left to the already married friends who have young children and no sex life. A bachelor party without depravity and shame is like a college education without keg parties.

We had LAN Parties.... for each Bachelor Party.

Kinda of corney..I know..but neither wife did not like any of our original ideas. Strip club, dancers, they didn't even like the idea of us drinking....I am glad I am not married nor getting married anytime soon.

thats why you guys tell them you will be up until 4am playing an intense game of 'risk'. it isnt exactly lying, because getting down with strippers until 4am is a risk. ;)

The one and only bachelor party I have been to was at a strip club..then to the bar, and ore drinking, and then sleep.

Small group of friends, private room...titty bar.

First time at a strip club too...was interesting.

Timmy fell in the mud.

He took a bath with bubbles.

Wanna hear another dirty joke?
Bubbles is the girl next door.

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk. :p

Anyway, for wholesome activies I'd recommend a game and a BBQ. Maybe visit Hooters. Its basically a family place with a bonus. Just dont load up on too much beer.

And for the love of god, DONT take a trip to Vegas with Christian Slater, especially if you're marrying Cameron Diaz.

I'm already planning my little brother's bachelor party for 2008. I'd offer suggestions but this will most certainly not be a "clean" party. There won't be any cheating by any of the attached attendees but it's going to be a blow-out.


I have to top the one he threw for me. :evil:

Exactly! The bachelor party isn't really for the bachelor...it's for all his married/attached friends that no longer have a life. :D

I've been to a couple of "clean" bachelor parties. One was an all day sports/extreme sports themed one where they had rock (wall) climbing, bungee jumping, go kart racing, basketball, softball, skateboarding, etc. It was tame but quite fun. The other was at a Dave and Buster's, which is basically an arcade/amusement park for adults (i.e. billiards tables, video golf, video soccer, etc.) and they serve beer and food. If you live in or around the NYC area, you could always try ESPN Sportszone (though I'd imagine that could get expensive).

EDIT: Oops, just noticed, you don't live anywhere near NYC. :eek: Does ESPN have Sportszones anywhere else?

I was going to say the paintball and BBQ thing too.

You could also get some poker tables and chips and booze and just hang out after the other stuff.

Golf.

Are you in the Milwaukee area?

I think what the OP really needs is a good cover story. See the first rule about batchler parties is you need a good cover story. After that you are supose to do every illegal, immoral thing in the book.

How about atv'ing with a bbq thrown in with drinks, hanging out afterwards at bar? It'd be cool if you can get enough people to completely rent out a smaller bar then have random comedies playing on the tv's with pool, ping pong (no darts, you'll hurt yourselves/others), xboxs, crap like that.

I thought it wasnt a "Bachelor party" if females were there (not entertainment females), I thought it was called "Jack and Jill" if both parties were there....

These are all great ideas, including the paintball or LAN party. Going fishing on a charter boat could work as well. Another idea is to rent a big tv and play tekken 2 and watch some movies - either good movies, or the type that are horrible and you heckle them MST3K style.
