Here\u2019s to the groom \u2013 and the epic bash you\u2019ll be hosting for him.<\/p>\n

Remember: It’s All About the Dude Who’s About to Get Married<\/h2>\n

Keep in mind a bachelor party isn\u2019t about you and your pals using your friend\u2019s wedding as an excuse to throw a blowout party nor is it about hazing him or seeing what you can get away with by having him as a scapegoat. It\u2019s about celebrating this moment in the groom\u2019s life and his transition from singleton to husband.<\/p>\n

When planning for the trip, always try to bring everything back to what the groom loves and how you can make the moment a special one for him. Sure, you might be dreaming about the ultimate Vegas<\/a> weekend but he might be more into a golfing getaway in Scottsdale<\/a> or a Bourbon distillery tour through Kentucky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Try to get a feel without dropping too much of a reveal by chatting with your friend about potential ideas. Some input from the groom-to-be\u00a0could go a long way keeping everybody having fun \u2013 especially him.<\/p>\n

Don’t just make this bachelor party epic, make it affordable too! Check out these cheap last minute flights<\/a>\u00a0to get you there.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Basics<\/h2>\n

Okay, some of these tips might sound like boring admin stuff but \u2026<\/p>\n

Do you have everyone\u2019s phone numbers? Have you made reservations, paid deposits, double-checked availability for all the venues? Get all booking essentials squared away well in advance of the party.<\/p>\n

Traveling<\/h2>\n

Are you going to be flying and staying overnight for the trip on some last minute flights? It might make sense to book flights<\/a>, hotels, and other big-ticket items as a group for discounts <\/a>and to be as organized as possible.<\/p>\n

Is it clear what everybody needs to pack? Do you need to arrange transfers to\/from airports for everybody with easy-to-find meeting points and timings?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re traveling abroad to popular bachelor party destinations like Amsterdam<\/a> and Bangkok<\/a>, is everyone aware they\u2019ll need passports and what sort of weather they should pack for?<\/p>\n

When\u2019s the Big Date?<\/h2>\n

Be extra careful when setting the date for the party. Having it more than a few days before the wedding would be smart. Check that potential dates don\u2019t clash with birthdays, work schedules or other obligations.<\/p>\n

Know the Drill<\/h2>\n

Who\u2019s paying for what? Be upfront and open with guests about costs so no one feels left out or that some are unfairly paying more than others.<\/p>\n

If the\u00a0trip is a surprise and you need last-minute flights, have all members involved been briefed on what not to divulge?<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s Who<\/h2>\n

With respect to all involved, who\u2019s on the guest list? Might there be a long lost cousin of the groom who absolutely must be invited or someone on the bride\u2019s side expecting to be part of the action but hasn\u2019t been contacted yet? It\u2019s wise to check with a close relative of your friend as well as his fianc\u00e9e for help deciding whom to invite.<\/p>\n

If Things Get Sloppy<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s face it, there\u2019s a strong possibility that things might get a little rowdy during a bachelor party, and you might even need some last minute flight outta there. If you don\u2019t want this one winding up like a sequel to The Hangover<\/em>, save yourself a headache (and some embarrassment) by thinking ahead.<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the groom staying overnight? Will he have someone keeping a watchful eye on him throughout the trip? This man is your number one priority. You have two goals: show him the time of his unmarried life and get him to the church on time.<\/p>\n

Do you need to have a designated sober person (a must if driving, obviously)? If over a stretch of more than one night, maybe guests can take turns taking\u00a0responsibility.<\/p>\n

Should you reconvene after the party? Consider making a reservation at a favorite restaurant to have a big late breakfast the morning after the party.<\/p>\n
