It’s not always feasible to go out of town for a bachelor party, thats when an in the city bachelor party is the most appropriate. When you are planning an event that involves many people it’s hard to coordinate budgets, days off etc. for everyone. There’s nothing wrong with planning the event right at home or at a larger city close by.
Here are 7 ideas if you are tasked with planning the bachelor party that’s perfect for any city.
1. Sporting Events
If your hometown has a major sports team that everyone loves, planning the party around a game is a great idea. You can either go to the game at the stadium, even splurge for some great seats. Or go to a bar that has good food, drinks, amazing TVs to watch the action. Or even hold it at someone’s place if they have the perfect setup for watching sports and for entertaining guests.
This is a good way for everyone to bond over something in common even if you don’t know everyone in the group.
2. The Strip Club
A classic bachelor party idea. Some cities have some amazing strip clubs and you can never go wrong with this idea.
3. Karaoke Night
This is a fun idea to participate in and to watch. The vibes at a karaoke night are always light hearted and fun. Don’t take yourselves too seriously, find a great karaoke bar, and enjoy the night. This is also a great way for everyone to get their nerves out before the big day!
4. Sports Night (Cycling / Swimming / Volleyball / Basketball/ Bowling)
If your group has a sport that everyone loves to participate in, you can hold a low key sports night. If you are a competitive bunch you can always bring it up a notch and include a race or tournament. It’s completely up to you and the vibe of your group how competitive and serious you want to make this. There’s a certain camaraderie that comes with playing sports together, a perfect way to bond before the big day.
5. Improv Night
There are two routes you can go, either go to an improv show or actually participate in an improv workshop. Improv work really helps you get out of your head and anything goes! This would be a great way for all of you to get out all the nerves and bond. This will also make everyone equally as vulnerable and create a judgment free zone for your group. If that’s too big of a leap, enjoying a show is also just as much fun.
6. Hire a Chef and/or a Mixologist
If your group is full of foodies try hiring a personal chef! Going out to eat is always an amazing experience, but it’s a special treat when you can hire one for your home. On top of that, if all of you are into drinks you can pair the chef with a mixologist. It’ll create a unique and intimate experience that many would not have done. This will also give you privacy to chat amongst yourselves without too much excess noise.
7. Beverage Tours (Wine / Beer / Distillery)
Maybe your city is near wine production or there are many local craft beer breweries or certain spirits are from the region, you can do a tasting. Tastings are fun because you can learn about the beverage and you can have a low-key time together as friends. The atmosphere is normally very informal so there is not a lot of pressure, especially if some of you are not into social situations you can do the tasting just as your own group.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to go far to plan a great bachelor party, you just need to put a great idea together. With people being so busy, staying in the city (or close by) may actually be preferred. With the above list of ideas, it’ll definitely help you get your party planning started.
