Think, "bachelor party" and images of drinking and wild women
come to mind. While many men still enjoy a night of hopping from club to
club, there are those who want something different. Here are three
bachelor party ideas that offer lots of fun and adventure.
Find
out what the groom has always wanted to do. There is usually something
that he has only dreamed of doing and this may be his last chance to do
it with his buddies. If for example, he is a racecar fan, there are
places you can go to take a quick driving course and then actually get
out on the racetrack in a racecar.
Plan a trip with the groom and a
few of his best friends to go fishing or hunting or just camping. Being
out-of-doors in a natural setting can give men time to bond and to
share thoughts and goals that they rarely get time or occasion to do
together. Plan for a weekend close to the wedding date. Make sure
everyone has arranged ahead for time off from work and then surprise the
groom - like an ambush. Take away everyone's cell phone and hand held
electronic games for the duration of the trip. Make the meals simple and
throw in a few beers if that fits the crowd you are going with. Take a
video camera to capture the special moments. Plan a couple of starter
activities like fishing, boating or hunting in season.
Find an
organization that builds homes or fixes up public parks that are in real
need of a sprucing up. The groom's church may already sponsor a project
or know of one. If not, there are usually a number of these
organizations in larger communities. You may even consider going out of
state for a week to a disaster area or across the border to a squatter
settlement.
The key element is that the groom and his friends get
away and do some physical work for a really good cause. Document the
bachelor party in some way. Disposable cameras are great for this as
anyone can use them and then give copies to each man who participates.
This is certainly a lot cooler than everyone getting so drunk no one can
remember what the did the night before.
