So where do you celebrate? When to set? Which attractions to choose? What do you eat and what do you drink? We have collected for you the most important tips and details on everything you need to organize the perfect bachelor party.

Do not close anything without consulting

This is probably the first rule: every bachelor has his own personal preferences regarding his bachelor party. That’s why it’s important to find out in advance with the groom-to-be whether he’s really interested in a crazy or solid party, a weekend of spending time in a B&B or maybe a relaxed and intimate trip with the guys in nature.

Date is a matter of timing

Make sure to find a convenient date for the groom-to-be and the other guests. It is recommended to schedule at the end of the week (Thursday, Friday night, or Saturday night), when most of the friends are available. It is better as early as possible, so that everyone can manage accordingly, beat the traffic jams or arrive relaxed. If you want to meet already on Thursday evening, you can also ask the participants to take Half a day off on the same day, to start the party at a reasonable time and without annoying delays.

Location

The most important element in organizing a bachelor party is of course the “location”. Today there are a variety of popular locations for bachelor party celebrations:

• In Israel: Classic locations for bachelor parties – B&B for rent, a spacious family suite, a luxurious holiday villa or a fashionable loft. Most bachelor parties are held in the central region, and in second place – in the north of the country. All these buildings and facilities are specially designed for this throughout the country, therefore guaranteeing maximum privacy. Essential ingredients for success: quite a bit of alcohol, grilled meats, a quality sound system, a heated pool, a jacuzzi and maybe a dry sauna. And don’t forget: you broke – you paid (don’t riot in the villa, and don’t destroy furniture).

• Abroad: Assuming you have enough time and money to get on a plane, there are those who choose to celebrate the bachelor party abroad with a variety of diverse activities. In such a case, it is advisable to choose a nearby geographical destination such as Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Crete, Thessaloniki, Rhodes or Antalya. This is in order not to waste precious time waiting for flights and without getting bored at airports. It also means that you have to book a flight in advance at the lowest price possible, to free up money for what’s really important: entertainment and maybe a little shopping.

Other popular destinations for bachelor parties abroad are Romania, Prague (Czech Republic), Sochi (Russia), Kiev (Ukraine), Berlin (Germany), Budapest (Bulgaria) and other destinations in Europe. These destinations are especially preferred by Israelis, Because they offer affordable prices for every pocket along with great clubs and an attractive night life.

Budget

Figure out the total budget for the bachelor party and make sure everyone knows what their share is. Yes, this means opening an Excel sheet and making sure that there are no deviations. It is important to know your budget for the bachelor party in advance so that you do not find yourself with unplanned expenses, which later lead to unnecessary arguments or fights.

It is also important that the budget be convenient for everyone, and to take into account those whose current situation is not improved. The budget should include the location, alcohol, food and scheduled activities. It is recommended to manage the budget matter on an open and transparent platform, where you can track the distribution of payments in real time.

Guest list

Do you invite friends from high school or just the closest circle of friends? Since this is not your bachelor party – make sure to consult the groom before you invite the whole world and his wife. It is important to know who to invite and who not according to the groom’s wishes in order to create as happy and fun an atmosphere as possible for him.

Alcohol

There are two types of bachelor parties: those where there is not enough alcohol and those where there is too much alcohol. You must not fall into the situation of “not enough alcohol” because then the mood may crash.

Activities and attractions

Whether it is in Israel or abroad, apart from huge amounts of alcohol, a bachelor party should include a variety of activities for the invitees and of course for the groom himself.

Of course, ordering a stripper for the intended groom is a common phenomenon in certain circles, but there are many men who do not support such ideas and prefer to invest their time in other hobbies, for example: a poker tournament or setting up a console game complex, for the gamers among us.

Another option is a bachelor party in nature, which includes adventurous or extreme sports activities such as paintball, jeep trips, abseiling, kayaking and many other challenging and varied activities that include spending a whole day in nature, usually accompanied by a qualified guide.

Many like to close an evening in a pub or club for them and their friends especially for the special occasion, which can only happen once in a lifetime. Another favorite option is renting a private yacht with a skipper or sailing on a small boat for fishing or sports purposes. Just make sure in advance with all the invitees if they have seasickness, phobias or other concerns, if they know how to swim and dive (if necessary), so that the party does not end with an unpleasant feeling, headaches, vomiting or an unusual event such as drowning.

For a solemn conclusion

Since the offer in the field of bachelor parties is so extensive, the possibilities for celebrating the bachelor party are many and varied. You can celebrate the end of your bachelorhood in Israel (as is customary) or abroad (rare), in villas equipped with all the best or in the great outdoors. Even a get-together on the beach is a reasonable option. the near ones
