Bachelor Party Ideas That Are Actually Fun

There’s nothing worse than seeing a glimpse of disappointment in your best friend’s eyes. Now imagine having to throw a bachelor party for your mate, and failing at it. You don’t want that to happen, no, you want to organize a day people will remember, something that will shake the groom’s beliefs in marriage just for a moment and make him remember how much fun you’ve had, for years to come.

So, before you call in to order the booze and the strippers, here are some of the best bachelor party ideas for a truly unforgettable time.

Paintball

We men, we’re kids. Rarely do we ever mature in the way our better halves want us to, and we love it. So, if anyone ever told you that paintball is for kids only – well, they were right! Paintball is awesome, and it allows you to bring out your competitive side and hurt your buddies the way you, as a true friend, always wanted.

And plus, paintball is an awesome way to get the party started before you move onto the clubs and strip joints in the evening. So, take the boys out for some good old hurtin’ and don’t forget the booze.

The great outdoors

Taking the groom camping has several benefits. First, he won’t be able to hear his future wife talk about wedding decorations for a whole day, so you’re doing him a big favor. Second, you can bond with the crew one final time before you send your best friend off through the gates of marriage. And finally, there’s nothing better than spending the day mixing testosterone with a lack of “adult” supervision.

So, make it a whole-day thing and take the boys camping early in the morning so you can catch the peaceful sounds of mother nature and have plenty of time for a barbecue. And if you’re going to barbecue, don’t forget to bring a strong natural mosquito repellent with you; otherwise the little demons will ruin your day.

Split the deck and make them cry

You would want to avoid depressing the groom before the party begins, but if he is a poker man – he’s on his own. Get the night rolling by organizing a poker night with the boys and don’t forget to make a special throne for the groom. Get a professional waiter to cater to your every need and dim the lights a bit for a true, 80s thriller feel.

Try to destroy the groom by the end of the game, and then just as he’s about to admit defeat, give him the money back as a wedding present. He’ll love the gesture and you’ll keep the party going.

Road trip!

You don’t need to go to another continent, partially because you’re better off making trouble in your own country, where you know you won’t be thrown to the alligators for coming on to someone’s wife, but more importantly because you can spend less money on flying and more money on partying!

Now, a road trip is not a one day venture, oh no, a road trip means you get going on Friday, and you somehow end up on your front lawn either Monday morning or Monday evening – depends on how fast the authorities transport you back home.

Extreme sports

Finally, for an adrenaline-filled day, take the crew for a full day of extreme sports! No alcohol this time though, as you won’t be allowed to play if you drink. You can start with zip-lining and free climbing in the morning and move onto some violent rugby World Cup re-enactments at the beach and then go moto crossing in the afternoon.

Finish off the day, if you have any strength left, with some paragliding after which you can give the boys some free time to get dressed and ready. Pick them up in a limo afterwards and let the party begin!

Organizing a memorable bachelor party takes more than just booze and women, although the two can’t hurt. If you want to give your best friend the send-off he deserves, make sure to organize a truly unique experience he will cherish forever.
