Ranked #29,842 in Entertainment, #340,829 overall

The Bachelor party is a pretty traditional part of weddings, like the best mans speeches. All a bachelor party is, is to celebrate the Groom's last night as a single man. This can take on a variety of meanings. Make sure you know exactly what the Groom expects, and that you respect his wishes. The bachelor party is supposed to be a fun thing for the Groom and his buddies, and if your friend is the kind of guy that doesn't appreciate strip clubs and ridiculous amounts of alcohol, chances are he won't appreciate them at his bachelor party.

The planned activities for the Bachelor party vary greatly from groom to groom. Some prefer consuming huge quantities of alcohol and hire strippers. Others just prefer a night on the town with the guys. Once again, make sure you know exactly what the Groom is okay with. Don't make it awkward. You don't want to throw the craziest party on Earth with topless waitresses, blow-up dolls, and a mob of strippers if he wants to just go out for drinks and some reminiscing.

Make It Memorable

You want to make sure you spend some time planning if you want to throw the Groom an awesome party. Select a good date; a weekend is probably your best bet. Find a good place to hold it, whether it's a VIP room in a restaurant or you're renting out a whole club. Make a guest list, and be sure to communicate with these people enough time in advance so they can come. Take into consideration what kind of menu you're going to have. If you need to get catering or a bartender, make sure you book it enough time in advance. If people are going to be drinking, you might want to think about hiring a limo or some friends to take them back to their houses. You do not want them to be out driving drunk.

It's getting more common to have a party that includes both the Bride and the Groom. If your Groom prefers to share the party with their Bride-to-be, don't be offended. Bachelor parties can be pretty touchy subjects with brides, especially if you or your friends are reputed partiers. It can still be a great night out for the Groom, you, and his friends to celebrate his impending wedding and your best man speeches brother.

It's nearing the Big Day and you are on the home stretch. Get plenty of rest, because wedding days are long days, and you don't want to be phasing out during the party. Even though I know you won't cry, pick up some tissues before the wedding. I'm sure someone will need them. Your part in the wedding is very special, and you want to be able to perform to the best of your abilities. The Groom chose you to help carry him through this very special day, so be proud of that.

When it's time for you to make your best man wedding speeches, remember to be sincere. This is your chance to thank the Groom for choosing you and how much you value your relationship with him. Remember to practice, practice, and practice some more, but don't memorize it word for word. Don't get up there and try to remember every rule or tip you've ever heard for making your best man wedding speeches successful. The main goal is to be natural and passionate. If you fumble a little bit, don't panic, everyone knows that your job is a tough one. Even professional speakers fumble from time to time. No one is expecting you to write a speech for the President. Just relax, be yourself, and have a little fun. You're allowed.
