Where Should I Go For My Bachelor Party?

Where is the Bachelor Party?

When deciding on a place, it is important to keep in mind what kind of scene you and the rest of the party envision for the bash. Are you looking for a relaxed environment to celebrate the groom’s last night of freedom or is the group ready to shut down the bars downtown?

Choose a city/state that fits that preference and what activities everyone wants to do. Don’t make the mistake of choosing an area with a lively downtown if you want to utilize the outdoors.

You’ll spend half of your weekend traveling because the location does not actually match what everyone wants to do.

Where to Stay for the Bachelor Party?

Once you decide on an area and a time, you need to find where you will be able to crash at the end of the day. From Airbnb’s, hotels, family lake houses/cottages, condos, the list goes on with options. Again, be sure to pick a place that makes sense. If you know that you are going to focus the party in a downtown bar/club setting a hotel would be a good fit since most hotels are central to those areas and transportation will be a breeze.

If you decide to make it a weekend-long party, talk with the groom and groomsmen about their favorite weekend destinations to get suggestions on where to stay. Reserve a hotel, condo, or campground. On the pricier side, trips to cities such as Las Vegas, Atlantic City or Cancun are always a great time.

Just remember that bashes like these can sometimes exclude those with busy schedules or who are a bit strapped for cash.

TMR Recommendation: We know that getaway man weekends aren’t always easy on the pocketbook. If you’re staying in a hometown, we recommend planning an activity during the day and then hitting the bars at night.

Thousands of Satisfied Grooms and Groomsmen

Since 2008, we’ve been the go-to site for personalized, unique groomsmen gifts and wedding tips for men. We’re also proud to be the original groom’s gift registry.

I reached out to The Man Registry on a Saturday, just 7 days before my wedding, asking for help with my groomsmen gifts. I heard back within an hour and was able to get 8 personalized coolers in just 3 days. Ordering was easy and the quality was top notch. Would highly recommend The Man Registry!

The Man Registry is phenomenal. The customer service is exceptional - seriously. You send an e-mail and a person (a friendly one at that) actually responds within an hour. Also, gift options are diverse and plentiful so you'll be able to find what works best for you.
