| GROOM Bachelor Party

BACHELOR BASHES, DINNERS, PARTIES & STAGS

Over the years many stories have come down regarding what happens at bachelor bashes, dinners, parties or stags. At least some of it is true. The event itself might be offensive but it shouldn't be a major problem as long as it doesn't happens the night before the wedding - that's usually when the rehearsal is held. The Best Man should organize to have the party or dinner at least a week before the wedding, so that the Groom has plenty of time to recuperate.

The Bachelor Party or dinner can be held in a restaurant, club or home. In some cases this traditional "guy's night out" is spent at a sporting event or race track, or sometimes it becomes a weekend away. It is the one time when all the attention is on the Groom. As the guest of honor, he should have a great time and do something he really enjoys. In some cases, the father of the Groom hosts or co-hosts the event with the Best Man.

The main ingredients are fun and food. If the night is spent in a restaurant or hotel, the food menu will probably take care of itself. If it is being held in a home take-out a simple buffet with lots of food and beverages will fill the bill.

Traditionally the Best Man selects a gift for the Groom. The invited guests often give individual money envelopes to the Groom as well as contributing to the cost of the Bachelor Party and the "group" wedding present to the Groom.

Most brides are happy enough with - or at least tolerate - with the concept of a Bachelor Party. They know that their intended is going to have fun. Some brides might even offer to organize some of the food if the event is being held in a home. But they never stay! Accompanied by her maid of honor and/or attendants, the bride might just "bring" in the food and stay long enough to make sure everything is "just perfect!"

Some couples prefer a joint bridal shower and bachelor party. When this happens the spin is different. The couple use this opportunity to present their gifts to their attendants and they in turn give the couple their gifts which are often group-gifts (when everyone has chipped in to purchase one large gift).
