Unusual Bachelor Party Ideas For Every Man

Unusual Bachelor Party Ideas For Every Man

Laz, the 35-year-old teenager from the wild comedy series Man-Teen, doesn’t want to grow up. He owns a batting cage, dates strippers, and gets his friends into trouble. He’s every wife’s worst nightmare and every man’s best friend. Because of this, he is indispensible at bachelor parties. But be forewarned, Laz will not settle for just any party. So if you’re looking to try something a little different, or even strange, before your nuptials, perhaps it’s best to leave Laz off the guest list.

1. Hunting

For those of you who are outdoorsy, hunting is probably as rote as they come. However, for the rest of us, mixing alcohol with loaded weapons is an obvious hazard. (I know some people that shouldn’t be given a gun sober, let alone buzzed.) Unless you want to spend some time in the emergency room afterward, this is a party option that you want to avoid unless you have years of experience.

2. A Trip to “Mexico”

Take a lesson from The Hangover: bachelor parties and foreign countries do not mix. Especially not foreign countries where the police are known for being corrupt and the water may or may not be fit for consumption. If you really want to go international on your groom’s special day, you’d be a lot safer visiting the Epcot theme park in Florida – it has a “World Showcase” that represents several countries and is less likely to get you in trouble. (Unless you go to fake Mexico and steal someone’s dinner reservation.)

3. An “Advice Party”

Boys, there is such a thing as playing it too safe. ThePlunge.com’s list of clean party suggestions, for instance, includes an ”advice and blessing party” where the attendees help the groom “fill a book of marriage and child-rearing advice.” While I appreciate the sentiment, the guys I know would consider this a nightmare, not a good time.

4. Time With Your Mom

Hanging out with your parents has never been cool. It’s even more uncool when your mom offers to take you out for your last night of freedom. According to the message boards at Weddingbee.com, someone’s parents offered to do just that. It pretty much defines awkward.

5. The Scavenger Hunt

This is one of those concepts that sounds like a good idea until you actually start thinking it through. Several websites out there recommend the idea of a scavenger hunt, which admittedly wasn’t that much fun when we were kids. There was always that moment of frustration when you wanted to give up on the game altogether. So, some suggest an inebriated version of the game for adults. However, when everyone is drunk, are they really going to be able to keep track of the task at hand? Going to bar and then trying to find your car might be just as much fun.

6. Dining In The Dark

The folks at Chowhound suggest creative dining as a bachelor party option. Opaque, which has locations in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco is just that. Its gimmick is that you are literally eating in total darkness. They refer to it as “a new, multi-sensual dining experience.” I call it “an accident waiting to happen.” Men, don’t get handsy.

7. Motorhome Demolition Derby

The Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, CA hosts a yearly motorhome demolition derby. This is definitely one of the more unique sporting events I’ve ever heard of. When demolishing cars is not enough, go big or go home, motorhome.

8. Camping With Your Buds

Top Gear brings us one last questionable bachelor party idea – spending the weekend in a motorhome (they call it a “caravan”) with your friends. That sounds harmless, but as the video shows, it’s only innocuous until someone finds an AK-47.
