I’ve done several articles on different bachelorette party ideas, but up until now, I’ve left the subject of bachelor parties alone. This isn’t because I want to ignore the guys out there, and it certainly isn’t because there are no clean bachelor party ideas besides the drunken debaucheries that are typically associated with bachelor parties. There are plenty of clean bachelor party ideas that you can that can still give the groom a great time without strippers or anything of the like. So, if you’re looking for some great bachelor party ideas, then here are some great bachelor party ideas to help you get started.
Bachelor Party Ideas – Game Night In
One set of popular bachelor party ideas is have a game night. This is what my husband did for his bachelor party. He and his groomsmen stayed in at the house playing with a Wii and playstation games on his big screen television. When they weren’t playing video games, they were playing dominoes or cards, and eating a whole lot of pizza. This is really what my husband wanted to do, as he didn’t get to see his best friend or cousins very much anymore. Bachelor party ideas with a game night involved allow the groomsmen to all spend time together and relax before the wedding.
Bachelor Party Ideas – Game Night Out
If a game night indoors isn’t exactly your cup of tea, then for another great bachelor party idea, look for options of doing a game night out. There are lots of places you can go for a game night outside the house. Find one that offers video games, go carts, batting cages, putt-putt golf, and of course, an all you can eat buffet. What better way for guys hanging out together can have some fun. This is a great and clean bachelor party idea that anyone can have fun with.
Bachelor Party Ideas – Take a Trip
Depending on how early you chose to have your bachelor party, one great bachelor party idea is to take a trip with your groomsmen. This requires a bit of research, and knowing the groom pretty well too. Find out his favorite team, and take the groom out for a baseball game, basketball game, or football game of his favorite team or sport.
There are lots of great bachelor party ideas where the groomsmen can still have fun, and not be in trouble with their brides the next day. Talk to the groom and find out what he would like to do, because the bachelor party is, after all, about him. Bachelor party ideas come in all shapes and sizes, and with a little creativity and research, you can find the perfect bachelor party idea to help the groom have a great time at his party.

Please answer question below! This is my reply to this article:
I agree – my husband had a “clean” bachelor party and it was a lot of fun. The guys met at his Uncle’s house for Chili and played lots of games in the “loaded” basement, like ping-pong, pool, pop-a-shot, etc.
My brother had his bachelor party at Dave & Buster’s and they had a great time too, playing games and munching on appetizers.
I did have a question: My hubbie is the best man in his brother’s wedding and we live out of town. We weren’t planning on being in town until the day of the rehearsal. Is it inappopriate to ask the groom (his brother) to have the bachelor party after the rehearsal dinner (from like 9pm to midnight – wedding is next day)? They will probably do something “low key” like play games, relax, maybe do indoor golfing or bowling or something. I brought up the idea with his mom and she flipped a little, but I personally think it would be ok, considering they wouldn’t be out too late and they wouldn’t be getting drunk or anything.
What is the right thing to do here?Thanks for your help!

Hey Em, thanks for responding to the article.
My answer is, I think it’s totally ok to have the bachelor party after the rehearsal dinner. My husband’s best man and his wife lived in Alaska (and we are in Texas), and we were in the same situation. Since their bachelor party was going to be low-key, and our wedding was later in the afternoon (like 4 pm), it let them sleep in a little from staying up playing video games.
Living out of town from the wedding can bring up these kinds of minor ‘issues’ and can require a bit of problem solving on the part of the rest of the bridal party, but personally, I see nothing wrong with it.

Thanks so much for the quick response – I’m glad to hear that you went through a similar situation and that it worked out. I will let my husband know and hopefully my brother-in-law will be just as ok with the idea as you and your husband were.
Thanks again
