After
the
Bachelor’ s party
No wedding is complete without a bachelor’ s party prior to the occasion. It is a time of celebration, welcoming the start of a new lifestyle as the groomto-be bids farewell to the single life. However, there are certain rules to abide by when throwing a bachelor’ s party. The dos and don’ ts of a bachelor’ s party: 1. Don’ t plan the bachelor’ s party for the night before the wedding, as no one wants to have a hangover on their wedding day. 2. Don’ t do anything silly or potentially dangerous. The bride will not be amused if her groom arrives on their wedding day with an arm cast or neck brace. 3. Don’ t go to a strip club, especially if the bride and the groom do not agree with it. If you take the groom to a strip show without everyone’ s permission, it will only cause tension and put a strain on friendships. 4. Do make sure you have tailored the bachelor’ s party to the groom’ s tastes. If he enjoys sport, get together for a friendly rugby, cricket or soccer game and enjoy a few cold beers together.
5. Do cover the costs for the groom. If the party is to take place at a restaurant for supper, followed by a few drinks at a bar, let everyone contribute towards the groom’ s tab, as he does have a honeymoon to plan for. 6. Do proper planning for the night ahead. This means setting up an itinerary, which will allow for the unexpected and to ensure everyone keeps in check. 7. Do plan to spread the bachelor’ s party over the weekend, as this will be one of the rare opportunities where the boys can spend time together.
