"I'm going to talk to the guys for a second here about how to plan a bachelor party. Usually, this is the best man's job, sometimes it's a brother of the groom, that's okay, whoever you are, a few tips and advice, pieces of advice here. Talk to your groom, talk to your guy find out what he's comfortable with. You want to push him a little bit, that's okay; but this isn't the time to push him a lot. If he's telling you he doesn't want certain things, we all know what bachelor party typically means, there's nothing wrong with that as long as he's down with it as well. So talk to your groom and find out where he's at. Timing, guys do not do this the night before the wedding. No one wants a green groom. Okay, this should be three, four, even five weeks before the wedding so that you guys can do whatever you're going to do and nobody is going to be sick the next day, so keep that in mind as well. What are you going to do? Well, it depends there's the traditional night of debauchery, night out on the town, exotic entertainment, that kind of thing, that's fine, that's pretty self explanatory. But nowadays a lot of guys are considering options, things like an adventure trip, a group of guys going off on a snowboarding trip together. This is a great opportunity for you guys to have a lot of fun and bond and everybody has a good time, nobody feels like they are involved in something maybe they don't want to be or it costs too much money or this or that or the other. You can keep that a little more simple, you guys can go out, if you've got a racetrack in your town or a local casino, have a rat pack night. If you want to be really goofy and go back to being teenagers, go play paintball. Whatever it is that floats your boat and the groom's boat is okay, just make it a guys time and call it a bachelor party. If you're driving or I should say excuse me, drinking, make sure somebody's driving whether that's a limo, whether that's a designated driver, it doesn't really matter, just make sure somebody's driving designated sober so that you guys can have a lot of fun. Whatever you do stay with the groom wants, have a great time and I promise, I won't tell."
