my friend needs to be jostled around on short notice before his fast approaching wedding. no one seemed to step in and organize, so i'm trying to whip something together for him. this guy is salt of the earth, heart of a child, likes basketball, quirky people, rock/paper/scissors tournaments (dont ask), and weird shit. not much of a dancing type and definitely not a strip club guy.

so far his fiance is going to have him meet her on a corner. she wont show and we are going to forcibly kidnap him in a van. at some point we will bring him to a cool middle eastern spot that has belly dancing...about as risque as it should get. id like for him to have some booze in him before we get there and was trying to think of moving and shaking type activities that we could do before hand: go-carts, target range, kindof things...

soulstrut!!!!! i know yall can get goofy as hell!!! even your most sarcastic comments will be seriously considered!

    My friend's a basketballer too and for his bachelor party, he had the dudes get together for a costumed basketball game. Everyone had to dress up in their most ridiculous Teen Wolf style b-ball gear and take it to the court. Something as simple as a BBQ could end up being perfect too. For another friend's bachelor party last Fall, we got our old crew to DJ together in St Louis for the first time in years, and sat around watching 9/11 conspiracy theory shows on TV and we had a fucking blast. :liljohn:

    My bachelor party is coming in a week and a half and so far all I know is that it's gonna involve a ton of good food, a Prince concert, and the Do Over, all with some of my favorite people in the world.

    oh man, teen wolf basketball sounds hilarious
    conspiracy theory madness sound weird but with the right TV-heckling im sure it was a blast
    no time to organize a hiking trip, but that would be my move!

    i'm probably on some rat pack shit. give me a steak dinner and good drinks, a good sporting event (nice tickets to a game) and maybe some oldschool type of fun on the side (gambling or something similar). lots of money spent probably, but it feels very "dude" like and usually a good way to spend out with the boys.

    i've gone camping too, and that shit is fun as hell also.

    but yeah, keep it very dude like, even if boobies aren't involved.

    the best bachelor party i have ever been to was centred around a wine tour, very low key and relaxed. No boobies, just fine wines then a nice dinner back in the city.

    The best bachelor party I've ever been to was my own:
    - BBQ & wiffle ball game followed by Red Sox-Yankees games

    My brother's friend's bachelor party involved driving him to an airfield where they got on a plane and sky dived. He won't forget that!
  • tripledoubletripledouble 7,636 Posts
    whoa!!! wiffle ballll! gotta incorporate that.

    so far its...
    street kidnapping in vegetable suits (he is obsessed with his collection of food costumes...california raisin, pumpkin, onion,etc)
    bring him to undisclosed inflatable sumo suit fight club. where we drink.
    bring him to belly dancing restaurant
    hogtie him and gag him and deliver him to the feet of his bride to be


    maybe we should throw him out an airplane too

    really anything that gets the band back together for a weekend will suffice. I've been on a backpacking one that was rad. Involving a campfire is good.

    It's always the married dudes who want the stripper sex show, I've noticed.

    I went and played poker at the nearby casino for my bachelor party.

    Another I heard about was renting pinball machines and having a huge tournament.

    True Bachelor Party story:

    A friend of mine also is not a strip club guy. His best friend organized the bachelor party. His plan was for us all to wear clown make-up and wigs, then all show up at his hotel, then enter his room unexpectedly while chanting "clown rape". We did that, then got him to put clown make-up on. Oh yeah, we were all getting wasted on the way over to the hotel so we all had a pretty good buzz going. On our way out of the hotel, there was some kid's birthday party going on at the pool and the mom saw us (about 12 clowns who had been drinking) and asked us to come by the pool because her son would love it. A few of us had liquor bottles in our hands which I guess she missed. So, we went ahead and sung happy birthday by the pool while her son stared at us with a blank face.

    We went from there to a nice-ish restaurant for dinner (they were warned we would be wearing clown gear), then went to a lesbian bar (my friend said "because that's where all the girls are!"), and then met up with the bachelorette party at a club, where the ladies had gotten the VIP section. They had told the security to let us in and that we would be the clowns.

    Anyways, it was a crazy night that ended with us getting lost in the outskirts of Asheville, NC, then the groom's brother getting into a fight with the groom upon dropping him off, then the bride-to-be throwing up when we almost got to where we were supposed to be, and finally getting back to where i was staying at about 5 am but still needing to shower to get the facking clown make-up off. Finally got to bed at about 6 or so.

    Hopefully that will give you some ideas. No strip clubs.

    I seriously want to party with this dude.

    Wiffle ball got intense- final score was 6-5 in extra innings.

    Yes, but with machine guns. There's a place in New Hampshire you can do this, and I'm sure you can do it elsewhere too. Talmbout boyhood dream/ultimate dudeness-related.

    Best bachelor party I was involved with started out with a beer tasting where we presented my friend with a full sized rented dinosaur costume (think Barney but green) he is a paleontologist so it actually makes sense. He had to wear the thing the rest of the night. We did Karaoke in Chinatown, which was a blast. Then hit the seedy after hours philly strip clubs. Usually I am not a strip club dude, but going with a guy in a dinosaur costume was hilarious. Watching a dinosaur get a lap dance is something I will never forget.

    Yeah for mine it was that we rented out a shitty but awesome bowling alley in Brooklyn and did that for mad long, then hopped in the party stretch Escalade limo (bugging) and went to a fucking amazing dinner. After that we all rolled into Manhattan and went to a club and, in lieu of looking at titties on strippers, hung out in a real life situation and just looked at girls in real time.

    So my bachelor party was kind of not unlike my actual every day life. But it was spent with my best dudes in celebration of a great milestone. So you can basically do whatever and it's still gonna be awesome.

    Also rad. I mean, it's 2011. Pretty much every man in America has seen more naked ladies than he can count. But I have never fired a machine gun (or a paintball gun) while screaming MENNNNNDOOOOOOZZZZAAAAAAA!!!1!11!

    went paintballing on a bachelor party once........it is not fun to run up against a bunch of ex-army types. defeat takes the wind out of a bachelor party pretty quick.

    Plus it isn't as harmless as it looks.

    Getting capped at close range can leave a nasty bruise yo.

    How about renting a lake house and/or a boat for the day to cruise around the lake? I guess that all depends on how close you are to a lake but people do that all the time here. If you have a large group you can rent a party barge pontoon boat. Stock it up full of beer and cruise around the lake at 2 mph chillin'.
