If you are a best man or close enough to being a trusted best friend you’ll probably be given the task of planning a bucks party. If it is your first time, make sure the planning and might be the most important task you get at your mate’s wedding. You should learn and understand the rules that need to be followed to make sure your event runs with no hiccups. Here are some simple Dos and Dont’s that you need to follow.
You can have a blast with your mate before he gets tied down to one woman for life. There are a million small things that can happen at a bucks party but there are a number of ways you can avoid disaster. Have a back-up plan by getting extra clothing in case of some mishap that might happen. Pack some extra clothes for the groom-to-be.
Throwing a bucks night can be expensive. No one person should be responsible for bankrolling the party. The groom already has sleepless nights trying to figure out how to raise cash for the event. Weddings are expensive, so the groom-to-be is probably preoccupied with the bill for the entire ceremony. The wedding expenses alone are probably bleeding his wallet dry. It would be a nice gesture if all the “friends” coming or the bachelor party can contribute to the bucks night Melbourne and not ask the groom to contribute to the bill.
Binge and rest
Bucks parties are about letting it all hang out. They are supposed to be wild and fun. Binge drink if you must, do all the wild things you wish you can do like go abseiling or bungee jumping. Binge drinking and cramming all the wild activities into one day or one weekend, can do a number on your body. It is wise to stop and rest, it doesn’t do anybody any good to be sick or hungover after the event.
Plan carefully
Bucks parties aren’t just about drinking and just about drinking and visiting a strip club Melbourne. Anybody can do that on any given day. You have to plan what happens before, during, and afterwards. There are lots of games you can play with your mates instead of spending all that time drinking alcohol. You can play laser tag, race cars, play poker, or a thousand other games.
There is a tendency to leave things until the last minute. It is best to plan a buck party event ahead of time. If you plan it too close to the actual wedding it might mess up one of the most important days in a guy’s life.
Make it affordable
Unless you and your friends are the same age group are in the same wage range so that everyone can be able to afford the things you want. Make sure that everyone is on the same page and that they ill enjoy whatever you have planned. Make it affordable so that everyone feels included and not economically exclusive.
Invite the right people
Invite the people who will be comfortable with the group you have invited. Make sure that the groom knows and has vetted the guest list to avoid people who can’t stand each other being forced into a situation where they have to share the same space.
Do not lose the groom
Never lose sight of the groom. Things can get hectic, alcohol and naked strippers are a heady combination. People have been known to go missing. This is why it is not a good idea to have a bucks night Melbourne the night before the actual wedding – if you do that you are just asking for trouble.
The most important thing of all, leave your judgement at home, respect everyone’s wild side and let this be something that stays between you and your mates forever.
