Boys Just Wanna Have Fun Too
We all know how notorious bachelor parties can be. I mean, even my favorite actor was in a movie that was dedicated just to the glorification of a bachelor's last night of 'freedom' (Bachelor Party ala 1984, anyone?) But really, I don't think I'm alone when I say the great majority of us ladies are slightly skiddish over the debauchery of the common bachelor party and the idea of our husband to be frolicking in the company of strippers and getting egged on by former college roommates and frat brothers.
That being said, I would want my husband to be to have an amazing last guy's night out, just as much as I'd like to enjoy my last ladies night (oh what a night!). Sorry I couldn't resist;) However, I feel like there should be an option for a bachelor party that doesn't involve the common go-to schedule of "get trashed, make a fool of oneself, go see strippers, drunk text bride to be, fall asleep and hopefully wake up in time for the wedding the next day..." And you've got to think that guys want more than that too, right? I think most of the memories from that night don't come from meeting the 'Ashley Dupres' of the town, rather it comes from the fun times the fellas have together and crazy stories that follow!
There are lots of ideas floating around the internet that go beyond the traditional bachelor party, and as citizens of the new millennium I feel like we should be exploring some of these options and leaving our outdated, 80s 'Bachelor Party' motifs behind, yeah? I think my favorite idea is when the bachelor party takes to the city's nightlife and follows clues that have been planted by the best man, all of which have been given point values, which scores will be tallied at the end of the night and one person declared the winner. Now, everyone loves a good challenge and guys especially dig a fun rivalry, so the idea of a party game that gets everyone involved and competitive is bound to be a hit! The best part though, would probably be all the clueless people the bachelor party encounters and somehow draws into the game for help (or just for laughs)!
