Whether you’re the groom trying to corral your friends or the best man tasked with organizing a once in a lifetime event, creating an unforgettable bachelor party is a difficult task. Weddings are a sacred moment in a person’s life and celebrating with an appropriate send-off is a great way to involve the friends of the engaged couple. Different grooms want different types of bachelor party – some like wild nights out while others prefer the idea of doing something they’ve never done before or simply relaxing with old friends. If you have no idea what to do for your bachelor party, here are a few tips to inspire you.
Take a Vacation
Weddings open up several opportunities for taking a vacation. Bachelor and bachelorette parties are good excuses to hop on a plane and visit somewhere new. Take a vote on your destination, pack your bags, and see what happens on the other side. Have you always wanted to swim in tropical waters or see a particular landmark? Invite a few close friends or a whole group to join you on your vacation to celebrate the upcoming marriage. Typical locations for bachelor parties include Las Vegas and the Netherlands due to their party atmospheres, but you can choose anywhere to treat your friends to the vacation of a lifetime.

Stay at Home
For grooms who would rather not travel, a brilliant bachelor party can still be had at home. Rearrange the living room into a movie theater and ask each guest to choose a movie. You can find great drinking games for almost any movie online, or you can create the rules for a new one yourself. For a creative casino experience, provide drinks and snacks while setting up each attendee with a Unibet account so you can place bets from the comfort of your own home. Choose moody lighting and music to enhance the effect and bring along some playing cards for poker.
Local Bars
Have you only ever been to one or two of your local bars? Use the bachelor party as a chance to broaden your horizons and experience more of your neighborhood. Take your friends on a tour of the nearby bars and rate your drinks along the way. Who knows, maybe you’ll find your new favorite?
Something Unique
The best part of hosting a bachelor party is that it can consist of anything at all. If you aren’t a fan of alcohol, then touring bars and clubs might not be your idea of a fun night out. Try something unique instead, like a guys’ spa day, paintballing, an escape room or an outdoor movie event. Take your buddies camping or hiking for a more active celebration – find a useful checklist at Love the Outdoors. The whole point of a bachelor party is to spend time with friends and loved ones to celebrate the fact that a couple is soon to be married. Whatever you decide to do, as long as you’re excited to do it, will be a great choice.
