A Last Hurrah: 5 Weird But Amazing Bachelor Party Themes

The bachelor party is as ingrained in our culture as marriage itself.

The tradition dates back all the way to the 5th century B.C. when Spartans would host a feast in honor of their soon-to-be-married friend.

Nowadays, things are a bit less restrained. The words ‘bachelor party’ conjure images of drunken debauchery, strippers, and more.

But alcohol and strippers are so overplayed. It’s time to think outside of the box and give your friend a night they’ll never forget!

Here are five strange yet amazing bachelor party themes.

1. Unleash Your Competitive Nature

If there’s one thing most guys love, it’s competition.

Make your bachelor party into a fun, ultra-competitive series of games.

Start the day off with a game of baseball at your local park. Anytime someone strikes out, have them drink.

Then, head back to your apartment, hotel, or Airbnb for a game of charades. Fill the topics list with embarrassing factoids or stories from the groom’s past to make it extra fun.

Finally, end the night with a game show-style quiz to see who knows the groom the best. It’s affordable, it’s fun and best of all, it lets you get creative.

You can even get a trophy or silly novelty toys as a prize.

2. Backpack Through The Wilderness

Sometimes it’s nice to escape for a while and get away with your friends.

If you’re looking for something a bit more subdued and your friend loves the outdoors, grab your camping supplies and head into the woods for a long weekend of backpacking.

Pick a scenic area the groom has always wanted to visit and take your time enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. Work together to build a campsite, fish or hunt for dinner, and reflect upon your friendship.

3. Recreate Their Favorite Movie

Bachelor party themes can be tough to come up with. But as a rule of thumb, they should involve something the groom enjoys.

A favorite movie is a great place to start.

Be forewarned, this takes a good deal of time to pull off, but it’s so strange and fun that everyone will have a blast. Find a copy of the groom’s favorite script online and hit up your local costume shop for props and outfits.

As for a location, you have two options:

You can recreate the movie on a limited scope at someone’s home or apartment, or you can make it a pub crawl, with each pub serving as a different scene.

4. Race to the Chapel

Does your friend have a need for speed?

Channel your party’s inner speed demons and get behind the wheel of an authentic NASCAR vehicle.

Race to see who can complete the circuit the fastest at one of 16 historic raceways.

5. Take a Hidden History Tour

Sure, you know your city’s layout pretty well. But do you know the true story of your city’s past? Book a hidden history tour and see what secrets you’ve been missing out on all along.

Then, secure a sweet ride by booking a Party Bus so you can travel in style.
