Bachelor parties have created quite a reputation for themselves over the years. Ranging from quiet gatherings at home where a group of guys sit around the table playing cards, to epic weekends away in iconic locations like Las Vegas. A bachelor party at its heart is meant to be that opportunity for the groom to have a great time with his closest buddies and relax before the wedding.
If you’ve been designated the best man, then the bachelor party duties fall on your shoulders. And because there is no doubt you want to make it a memorable event, here are three ideas you may want to consider.
Paintball – Combine Action with Fun
A great way to keep everyone engaged is to take part in an activity that is filled with action. Paintball can be the perfect bachelor party idea, as this one gets the adrenaline going, requires everyone to take an active part, and is incredibly immersive with some courses/parks feeling pretty realistic and challenging. Options like Vintage Paintball Park’s bachelor party packages provide extra touches and details such as private play that will ensure it’s a memorable day for the groom-to-be.
It doesn’t matter if participants have experience with paintball or not, the rules are easy to understand, so anyone can join in.
Visit an Escape Room and Test Everyone’s Deduction Skills
Does the bachelor you’re throwing the party for like to think of himself as a pretty intelligent guy? Is he the kind of guy that thinks he has a solution for everything? Why not put his skills to the test, and that of the entire bachelor party, with a visit to an Escape Room?
Escape Rooms are popping up in major cities across the country, becoming more and more popular. This is a real-time activity wherein you are locked in a room and you have a specific amount of time to escape. This is done through a series of clues, puzzles, and missions. Expect this to get everyone’s blood pumping. These rooms all have their theme, making them even more engaging and realistic.
Book a Once-in-a-Lifetime Action Experience
Another trend right now is “action experiences”. These are experiences you can book that give you access to a wide array of activities that range from unique to more common and share one common thread – they are high energy and exciting.
Some great examples of action experiences that you may be able to find nearby include:
- Bungee jumping
- Skydiving
- Doing laps on a NASCAR track
- Flight simulation experience
- Drag racing experience
- Stunt driving
- Helicopter experience
- Jet Skiing
Ideally, you want to pick an activity that the bachelor has never done before and is perhaps on his bucket list. What better way to experience that activity than being surrounded by a group of friends. These types of experiences tend to book well in advance, so you’re going to need to plan as early as possible.
An Epic Party to Remember
Any of these ideas are sure to help you plan an epic bachelor party that the groom-to-be will remember for a lifetime and will make you the ultimate best man.
