Las Vegas Is So Last Century
If you want to do something special for your bachelor party but don't want to go the cliché route, this list is for you. The "finer things" in life like wine tastings and yacht trips shouldn't just be reserved for your wife-to-be, we know men secretly like these things too. Alternatively, you can keep it simple with some outdoor adventuring or barbecuing. Here are 20 creative bachelor party ideas beyond the Vegas Strip.
1. Backyard Barbecue
Celebrate your upcoming marriage by having the boys over for a barbecue. Treat yourself and your groomsmen to the best quality cuts. Go all out.
2. Paintball
Nothing says male bonding quite like shooting each other with guns. Getting your buys together for some paintball is one of the most fun ways to spend an afternoon.
3. Poker Night
You don't have to go to Vegas for an awesome poker night. Just have your boys over, serve some drinks and cigars, and even hire a dealer for a memorable and personalized experience.
4. Wine Tasting
Looking for a classy way to get drunk? Go to your nearest wine-producing region and hop around to different vineyards. Take some tours and you might actually learn something as well.
5. Sailing Trip
Charter a boat, bring a cooler full of beers and bring the guys on a day sail. If you have no sailing experience or don't want the headache of running the boat, you can hire a captain too.
6. Hiking Trip
If you're an outdoorsy person, consider going on a hiking or backpacking trip with your groomsmen. You can tailor the intensity to the fitness level of your group and have a cool adventure that you'll all cherish forever.
7. Camping
Similarly to taking a hiking trip, camping is a great way to get outdoors with your boys. Drink some beers around the campfire and swap stories. It's a simple pastime but once you're married, you might not have the opportunity to do these kinds of things.
8. Escape Room
Test your boys' brain power by taking them to an escape room. Some escape rooms are incredibly challenging and it will take putting your brains together to get out.
9. Rockaoke
Rockaoke is like karaoke but with a live band. If you guys fancy yourselves as rockers, belting out all your favorite songs in front of a band is a fun and memorable activity.
10. Whitewater Rafting
For the adventurous group, whitewater rafting or kayaking is the perfect activity. It's a practice in teamwork and allows you to enjoy the great outdoors, cool off, and learn a new skill.
11. Fishing Trip
Get away from it all by having a boys' fishing trip. The leisure time you'll have while waiting to catch a fish will allow space for deep talks, beer-sipping, and memory-making.
12. Whiskey Tasting
If you're more of a whiskey guy, book a day at your local distillery and taste some of the finest. You; 'll get a buzz on but it'll be a classy one, full of glass swirling and wafting.
13. Festival
Attending a music festival with your best friends is a great way to let loose and party to your favorite artists before you take on the added responsibility of having a life partner. Bachelor parties are all about going a little wild after all.
14. Woodworking Class
Get creative with a woodworking class. You and your guys can make something cool like a cutting board or coffee table and each has a special souvenir to bring home, marking the occasion.
15. Rock Climbing
If you're an adventurous bunch, consider going rock climbing together. This can be outdoors (if you're more experienced) or you can go to a rock gym.
16. Go Karting
Need for speed? Guys and fast cars go together like peanut butter and jelly. Bring your guys go-karting and see the kid come out of each of them.
17. Skydive
If you want to do something that'll really get your adrenaline pumping, consider going skydiving for your bachelor party. Whether you love your experience or walk away petrified, it's bound to be memorable.
18. Ski Trip
Spending your bachelor party on the slopes is a great way to bond with your groomsmen and enjoy one of your favorite hobbies. You can also get your party on at an apres ski event.
19. Attend A Game
If you're a sports fan, go to one of your favorite team's games. If you do this regularly already, consider upgrading to VIP or box seats to make it a little more special.
20. Play A Team Sport
Get your boys together to play your favorite sport whether that's soccer, basketball, hockey, or something else. It's a great way to bond, work together, and get a good workout.
