Weddings are an excuse to have fun, to frolic and forget all about the daily stress while rejoicing with the couple to be wedded. An Indian wedding is generally a week long affair! From Sangeet and Mehendi to the final wedding day, it involves numerous activities. Every wedding is a fun-filled affair, and more so when it’s your childhood buddy who is getting hitched. However, with all the happiness and excitement surrounding the upcoming slew of events, there is definitely a twang of sadness in the deep corners of one’s heart! No more frolicking around and randomly timed meetings! No more crazy acts and letting lose! Moreover, if your best buddy is moving away, definitely no more hanging out on an everyday routine! From this one major step in one's life, everything starts hurtling in a 360-degree direction. 

A bachelor party

            So wouldn’t you want one final night of crazy fun with your best friend? One night of all the crazy frolicking, the fun-filled activities and mad drinking and dancing! Well, what better way to have that fun than organizing a bachelor party for your favorite buddy? A bachelor party is just the night of crazy dancing and letting loose you desire, before getting hitched to a life of commitment and responsibilities. It is also often referred to as ‘Stag Party’ or ‘Stag Night’ to celebrate his last night of freedom! The party is usually organized by the Best man in case of Catholic weddings and is usually restricted to men as it is a men’s night to have fun and indulge in activities that won’t be appreciated after marriage.

It could also be a small group of close friends having fun

Bachelor’s party is usually a single night event but in countries like the Commonwealth countries such as USA and United Kingdom, it usually extends over entire weekends. It’s an event to celebrate the end of bachelorhood. It’s the night when the groom gets to party hard, without any worries and responsibilities that one gets engaged once they cross the threshold of marriage. Lately, this trend of celebrating a Stag party has come to India too. The groom’s friends or cousins plan a bachelor party in which all his male colleagues and friends, and also the male members of the family are invited. It is a night of crazy games, drinking, and dancing. If you are planning to hold a bachelor party and are completely clueless as to how to do it, then fret not, we have listed the tips to help you arrange a smashing party for your buddy! Just go through the tips listed here and voila! You have an amazing party arranged!

1. Talk with the Groom:

Every guy does not have the same definition of fun. While some men like to party hard and drink up till the crack of dawn, others prefer to be sober and indulge in some sort of sports or read up or indulge into science fiction. Before you make plans, you need to be aware of your friend's preferences, his likes or dislikes, and his choices. Sit down, have a chat and then decide as to what you really want to do for the bachelor party. Also, do not assume things. If you planned on something and if your friend does not like it, it will all end up being a waste of your efforts.

Have a talk with the groom to find out his likes/ dislikes.

2. Set a Date:

Before you plan a bachelor party, you should be aware of the dates available. If the wedding is a rushed affair, then you need to plan your party meticulously to avoid any wastage of time. If the wedding is a stretched affair, then you can stretch the bachelor party over the entire weekend. Go through the entire wedding schedule before finalizing a weekend or a day for the party so that there are no clashes with the main schedule.

3. Finalize a location:

Before choosing a venue, go through the list of services available at the location. If you plan to indulge in drinking and smoking, make sure the venue has appropriate arrangements. In case you have booked the venue, and there are restrictions on these things, it will be a complete mood spoiler. So in order to avoid any last minute glitches, make sure you have already double checked your requirements with the venue admin.

4. Budget expenses:

Since it’s generally the best man who organizes the bachelor party, the expenses fall on him. But this is not necessary in each case. If you have a close-knit group of friends, you could always split the expenses in the group. One friend could handle the venue charges; one could handle the food arrangements, and another friend could handle the entertainment department. Calculate your estimated expenses and then plan a proper budget

5. Set a theme:

Selecting a theme always makes the party much more fun and entertaining. Be it a Hawaiian themed beach party or a 90s retro themed party, or if your best friend is a geek, then a Star Wars themed party or the latest trend, a Game of Thrones-themed party, a theme will make the party much more enticing and interesting!

6. Make a guest list:

A bachelor party is supposed to be a night of crazy fun for the groom and his entire boy clan. So, in this case, the guest list is totally restricted to the closest friends and colleagues of the mail. You can talk to the groom and make a small guest list of all his favorite people in the world.

7. Plan out the activities:

If the groom is an adventure sports junkie, you can organize the party at some sports themed park or a football game night. Alternatively, you can even arrange for some crazy games for men at the party to make the night more fun and entertaining!

8. Plan a Surprise:

Since it’s a big day for your best friend, the poor guy would obviously be harrowed with nervousness and worried about how his life is going to change after this day. The least thing you can do is surprise him and make him happy! You could plan a surprise video or a surprise act for him, make him laugh, pamper him and make him feel special!

9. Be responsible:

If you plan to indulge in drinking and in case you are having the party at a hotel or banquet hall instead of a bungalow or someone's house, then you should be careful at the end of the night. Arrange for chauffeurs to drop the people back at home, to ensure that each and everyone has safely reached home. 

10. Have a memorable night:

The most important aim of the party is to have fun and make some amazing memories that will last a lifetime!
