I know we women (whom are about to tie the knot) are scared when we hear the words: “Bachelor Party”.  We think of scantily clad women dancing around our men, tempting them into things they wouldn’t normally do.  Of course, we trust our man..but there is always the cringe of “what if?”

So, do me a favor, Don’t think of this as his last chance to celebrate being single; it’s simply an opportunity to spend time with his closest friends and toast the amazing life change that is about to happen!  Here’s a few tips I’d like to share:  the bachelor party should happen 2-3 weeks before the wedding (there’s so many things that could go wrong if done the night before..so plan ahead)

• Who hosts?–Usually the best man and groomsmen do this planning.
• Pre-Party To-Do’s–Discuss what kind of party is being planned for your fiance and make sure you’re comfortable with it too.
• Venue–Ideas for planning a weekend away are wide open: Las Vegas is an awesome option for good food and late night fun, or he can try something seasonal , like hitting the links in Arizona or California.  If the party takes place locally, he might consider chowing down at an upscale steak house (like the Metropolitan Grill or Rock Salt:Steak and Seafood), or attending a sports event (like the Mariners) or heading out for a day of adventure rock climing (try Mountain Madness for a great resource), white water rafting (try Blue Sky Outfitters for a great resource) or other extreme activity, such as ATVing (check out ATV Action Tours).
• Guest List–The groomsmen, your fiance’s brothers and any other friends he’d like to celebrate with.

DAY-OF NOTES:

Let him know that he can call you, even if his friends tease him, but they’re probably doing the same thing!
