9 Rules For any Chicago Bachelor Party
Below are 9 rules to follow if you want to have the ultimate Chicago bachelor party. Feel free to print these out, have them laminated and readliy available as a reference the night of the party.
1.Do not plan the party for the night before the wedding - The groom does not want to go through a day of greeting family, friends and strangers while dealing with a pissed off wife and nursing a hangover.
2.Start planning the event at least a month out - his gives enough time for most of the attendees to clear their calendar and/or get the appropriate clearance from the tower.
3.Arrange for transportation - Nothing can ruin an evening like a DUI or someone puking in your car. Let’s face it, there's gonna be drinking and we want everyone, or most everyone, to get home safely so book a limo.
4.Share the cost evenly or at least fairly - Plan out all of the expected expenses, add 20% for incidentals and divide it amongst the attendees. Or better yet invite the groom’s boss to the party and have him write off the party as a business expense.
5.Plan a second to last supper - This dinner is more than just the beginning of the night, it also gives your stomached a nice base for all of the evening's alcohol consumption. The “last” supper comes in the form of White Castle, something from the menu at Taco Burrito King, or a 3AM breakfast at Tempo.
6.Choose the final party group wisely - Sure the soon to be father-in-law and brides brothers can come to any daytime activities, and dinner but that’s it. Make sure the group that is around for the real party consists of the trustworthy ones.
7.No pictures allowed - Bachelor party photographs can and will always come back to haunt someone. If pictures really need to be snapped, it should be at the beginning of the night before any real party events start. This rule cannot be emphasized enough
8.Keep the daytime drinking to a minimum - If any daytime activities such as golf or a Cubs or Sox game are planned before the big night, go easy on the booze. This will ensure more guys, especially the bachelor, make it to and through the night's festivities.
9.Keep It Somewhat Simple – While stopping at 3 sports bars, 5 nightclubs, and every strip club within a 100 mile radius riding in a bus full of half-naked 18 year virgins in their catholic school uniforms being driven by a midget dressed as a leprechaun sounds great, it’s not very realistic. There in no way a midget would be able to reach the peddles and see over the steering wheel to operate a bus. That being said, if you really are looking to pull something like this off, Chi Town Bachelor Party is the company to help you do it.
