Another fairly inexpensive excursion would be the classic bar hopping and strip club option. This is a great option for those who live near a city where the bars are fun and the strip clubs are not dirty. This night could end with a hotel or a taxi ride home. This could end up as cheap or expensive as you want it to. For the classier men dinner at a steakhouse could be the answer. This could be steak until the groom cannot eat any more or a rib eating contest at the local steakhouse. This is a night of good friends sitting around talking, eating and drinking.

The last of the five greatest bachelor party ideas is a day-long fishing trip. This would start early morning and end sometime that afternoon. This would be a great opportunity to take what you caught and have a BBQ that evening.

The first idea would be going to a sports bar with an extra kick. A sports bar that offers drinks, dinner and games such as Dave & Busters would also be a lot of fun. It can bring out the inner child in anyone and playing games while drunk is just plain fun. Plan contests among all the guests with cash prizes. Nothing is more fun than beating your friends.

The final bachelor party idea is skydiving. It is almost symbolic in a way to take the ultimate plunge before jumping into marriage. Most states offer discounts for group sky diving because of the increase of gas prices. Look for these package deals and don’t forget to have it filmed! Those pictures will be an excellent supplement to those girly wedding pictures you will have to take.

Every man is different and as so every bachelor party should be. There is a wide variety of things out there. Things planned by the best man and groomsmen to things planned by professionals. There are expensive bachelor parties and ones you can throw together in a few hours. There are some that you can have a hundred of your best buds attend and those which you can only pick a few. If money is tight and no one in the male portion of the bridal party can cough up some change then a good idea would be to throw a traditional stag.

Get a keg, or other such liquor, wings, potato skins, burgers, steak and chicken and find a back yard with a BBQ. Call all the guys over and spend a night drinking, eating and playing volleyball. It may not be a night the groom will remember but he will wish he could.

Next up on the expensive ladder is going to a casino for the night and gambling it up. Often times there are hotels near by casinos which have free shuttles to the casino. This would be a better bet for those looking to spend less money seeing that hotels in casinos tend to be expensive. This night would include gambling and drinking-for free!- and then stumbling back to the shuttle where you would all fall into bed and wake up the next morning saying that you had an amazing night!

1. Go to a strip club. This sounds cliché, but depending on the bride-to-be’s opinion on this idea, it’s always a winner. I would encourage it only if she’s onboard—it doesn’t pay to start out your marriage on a sour note. Hiring a private dancer is an alright idea, but unfortunately tends to invite more trouble than seeing one in a public establishment.

2. Go camping. This one sounds a little crying-men-hugging-in-the-woods-ish, but it does work. Alcohol-infused camping proves to be much more interesting than male-empowerment groups. It is one of the unheralded bachelor party ideas.

3. Take a road trip. A road trip to where, you ask? Who cares? What is the purpose of the road trip? Again, who cares? Men hitting the open road has been an American tradition since Henry Ford and his capitalist buddies began taking his own vehicles out over every terrain imaginable. Get out and get driving. Man was made to be behind a wheel! Visit a new state, drive through woods, combine this option with the strip club idea and do a cross-country study of gentlemen’s establishments.

4. Have a house party. Boring? Not in the least. Get the boys together, get as much alcohol as you require, and get stupid. You may get loud. You may break some things. You may dance with other men and even find yourself saying mushy things would never say sober, but in the end you’ll have a great night to remember…or not remember, depending how much you drank. The next-morning headache and nausea will be worth it as you step over your fallen comrades and make your way to the nearest gas station for microwave breakfast burritos and coffee.

5 . Try it sober. This screams “lame”. But let’s face it, some of us are living alcohol free. It doesn’t mean you can’t have a bad time. In fact, you can still do all the previous four activities completely sober (Option three actually needs to be done sober). The pro? You remember everything. Every breast, every funny moment. The con? You remember every old breast, every not-funny moment that fell flat and turned the whole conversation awkward. That’s okay, though. Every bachelor party experience, good or bad, is still an experience, and one you can remember to tell your own kids (and maybe someday your wife).

The traditional idea of the perfect bachelor party has changed over the year. Here are the five best bachelor party ideas for the soon-to-be grooms and friends.

The first would be a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Going to sin city is just as thrilling as having a stripper, but it can also make the bride squirm so be sure to check with the misses first. A party in Vegas can include multiple chances for fun. It can start off as a road trip to Vegas, include luxurious hotel rooms, time at the swimming pool, gambling and tons of drinks. It’s the ultimate package, but can be pricey.

Another awesome bachelor party would be on a yacht or a rented boat. A party on the water with a Vegas theme can be just as fun. Turn it into a booze cruise. Rent an already established company boat for the day or create your own.

For the outdoorsy type, a camping bachelor party is another way for a guy to get out with his buddies for one last hoorah. There is nothing like feeling rugged and manly one more time with the guys and just fishing by the river to clear your head. Stories can be shared by a campfire and rock climbing and biking are a few activities that can be done on the trip.
