My buddy is getting married on the 3rd of July and it's up to my friend Cory and I to plan his bachelor's party. We're not interested in doing the whole stripper thing.
I was thinking maybe start off at Unser racing and do the 50mph go karts and then go from there. But what would we do? Bar hopping might work.
What are your experiences? Those of you who have planned, those of you who have been a groom.
The groom says he wants it to be "The Hangover epic".
Whadda talkin about? Booze, strippers and dirty movies.
if you wanna spend a bunch of cash, you could plan a party with alan samuel and machineguntours.
guns are always fun![M2]
Unfortunately the best man nor I have much cash. I think what I might try to do is get a pool from all the groomsmen, maybe even some other friends and see what we can work out with it.
Well... I had my bachelor party over 4th of July weekend 2009 (hard to get folks to come - a lot go out of town) - made kinda of a weekend thing out of it..
Had a late afternoon party on Friday and had a bunch of my work buddies meet at a neighborhood bar - the work friends/bosses footed almost the entire bill...
Beer, food, pool, darts... etc.. (old farts - I know)
Then had a buddy smoke some brisket and everyone brought beer to his place on Sat... no driving!
We took my best friend Skydiving for his. It was awesome and a great send off[Beer]
Whats the budget?
Yup. Most people that attend these are willing to pitch in. Strip clubs usually give discounts to parties tooQuote:

have you thought of this

I dont know cost, but it sounds like a good time (but I'm a car guy)
If you end up doing go-karts, I would suggest the track up at erie
(I think its called action karting) instead of unser racing. U.R. is small and unbalanced, the track doesnt flow very well. Its still fun, but if you are looking to actually go fast for more than a half second then I would suggest the track at erie. Its a mile long, and they rent karts that go over 100 mph.[Coffee]
A little more pricey, sure, but I guarantee you'll have a blast.
Half day white water rafting trip, hog roast, copius beer and shots.
That sounds like fun.
Buy a ton of tannerite and go shooting.
Guns and scantily clad beauties...
Finally found the skyhooks huh?Quote:

Although midget strippers would probably be talked about for quite some time. [Beer]
We went and shot sporting clays at the place in Brighton for one of my friend's party, then went back to his dad's house for BBQ...
My groomsmen all threw in and rented an RV and drove us out into the dessert for lots of shooting, drinking, and bbq (in that order). One night, two days in the sun without seeing any other people, and the biggest cost was the ammo (the RV wasn't too bad, but we shot a lot... Haha)
One of the most fun weekend's I've had in a long time. and the boonies strip club they tried to take me to Sunday morning was closed that early so I was spared THAT ordeal haha.
"Let's have a bachelor party with chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze!"
We did this for a buddy of mine last year.Quote:

The sporting clays and BBQ thing sounded pretty good to me. But then, what do I know, it was 38 years ago when I got married!
Have fun whatever you do.

OK
Ok looks like we decided on doing paintball the following Sunday. We'll do the party on Saturday night and have a couple options of renting out a community center to a friend's apartment complex.
Anyone ever done fund-raising of some sort? We're going to be on a seriously limited budget, and need all the help we can get.
Just make sure EVERYONE kicks in dough. Force them if you have to. If not you will pick up most of the tab. Best Man's job can get real expensive, real quick!
One word... Roofalin! Tell them you're going to spice up the night with some ecstasy (oops wrong pill) and drop the pills in their drinks- that's how they did in the Hangover.
Let the wolf pack roam!
honestly for mine we just drove to chicago (the wedding was in illinois), went to a white sox game, went to some hole in the wall pancake place at like 1 am which was hilarious, spent the night in a hotel, went to six flags the next day, then to another white sox game that night and to giordano's pizza, then drove back. it was only me, my brother in law, brother, best friend and another friend but it was a blast. but then again i don't drink or go to strip clubs, so probably doesn't seem all that exciting. to me, you are going to have the most fun if you do things everyone likes anyways. we are all huge baseball fans and most of us grew up playing together, and everyone likes theme parks. just try to see what everyone has in common. how many are going?
I think there will be about 5 of us. 3 of us are kung fu teachers, the groom was ahead of us other 2 in the student instructor program. We don't know the other 2 guys. The groom went to HS with them. We'll probably invite some more friends to the Saturday night party, and possibly join us at paintball the next day if they want. But we'll discuss it with the groom and see what his thoughts are. I'm not a huge fan of getting beligerent drunk, roofied, ecstacied and lose a tooth over the course of the evening, so we'll see how it goes. haha
So you know I was joking, but if you wanted it to be "authentic hangover" then yeah, roofies... You guys could hit up Coyote Ugly at Denver Pavilions- good drink specials, some hot bartenders (that dance on the bar) and you can buy the groom a "Naughty Shot": Blindfold with bra, tie hands behind back, scribble funny stuff on stomach and back, a little light spanking, then a shot of tequila via the bartender's cowboy boot... lots of fun, my friends did that to me for my 21st- way back when Coyote's opened.Quote:

There's lots of stuff there too, like pool, big screens, hot tub/swimming pool, etc. I just gotta find out what their alcohol policy is. Ronin- You're about a year older than I am.
I don't remember my bachelor party... But I'm told the above where there in abundance...Quote:
