A Spa Make-Over Bachelor’s Party
No, I did not get the title wrong. I did put the words Bachelor’s Party and make-over together in one statement, and that’s the exact topic for this article: planning for a bachelor party that involves face masks and peels rather than booze and lap dances (at least not at first).
Sounds too gay? Not really!
There’s a theory going around that tells us: men are more vain than women. While this can spur some heated debate, there is no doubt that the world’s sexiest men have at least one facial and some plucking a few times a month! So you thought Brad Pitt was just born with that gorgeous complexion huh?
The objective is to give the bachelor and his guy friends the time to feel all the benefits of being pampered, massaged and exfoliated with just them and the attendants around. This way, they are free to preen and have their precious mirror time without emasculating themselves in front of their girlfriends or wives.
The Agenda
Rent out a spa room or hold the party in the bachelor’s house (with rented spa 
beds). Find attendants who will be discreet and inconspicuous. I would suggest girls who mean business; experienced and professional massage therapist who are there to massage not to flirt. An experienced dermatologist, such as those from our sponsor Martin Sands can come to give constructive advice on blackheads and pimples to anyone who asks.
Food and Drinks
The activities might be delicate, but these men’s appetites are not. When the clock says lunch time or dinner, you can be sure these men will stand up from their massage cots/exfoliating baths to wolf down the food on the table. Fruits and vegetables are good for dessert and appetizers, but bring in a hefty serving of fried chicken with them. And, all the drinks they can consume.
After Pampering Activities
This is when a mock massage therapist can enter a big birthday box and say “ta-daaa”. With the men properly sensitized by their massages and scrubs, their senses will be too. Who said this bachelor party will be devoid of the fun of other typical bachelor’s parties?
Have fun!!!
Cross Country Party Trips: For a More Adventurous Singles Party
A bachelorette party in another location is preferred by those who have the means to bring their friends with them to other countries. Some of the more popular destinations include Thailand, particularly Bangkok, the city of fun and thrills. There are certain activities that a bride to be wants to share with her friends before tying the knot. Some really new things that she wasn’t able to do before.
Getting the best accommodations and tickets at the last minute is difficult, particularly for a big group. For really far destinations such as Europe, getting accommodations is trickier because of the rush. Luckily, prebooking online has made this task a lot easier.
Here are some recommended links for those looking to turn their parties into a cross country affair: Thailand Hotels, Bangkok Hotels , United Kingdom UK Hotels, Manchester Hotels.
Hors D’Oeuvres
Pronounced as ‘Or-derv’, these delicious morsels are the most commonly served appetizers in parties. In fact, the French term itself means “a dish served as an appetizer before the main meal”.
There’s no set recipe for the best hors d’oeuvres, but the best tips for making interesting and party-worthy ones include a unique presentation. A nice tray, cheese in wedges, well trimmed bread and crunchy toast… all these will make your appetizer dish hard to resist.
Soft cheeses are usually served in a separate plate while the chips, toasted bread or crackers stay on the tray. However, for ease of eating by guests, I suggest spreading the cheese or the liver pate on these before serving. After all, party people are mostly just standing in groups talking and probably won’t spend time hanging out on the buffet tables.
The appetizers that don’t require much effort to make are sure hits in parties. Ask the caterer to make the viands or main dishes, while you yourself can create the canapes and finger food. A real cost saver.
My example is Sauteed Mushroom on Toast. This can serve as appetizer in house parties where anyone can just go to the table and grab a bite.
Here’s what you need for a party of 4:
Toasted Bread - 8 pieces
One can of sliced Button Mushrooms - drained
Garlic - 4 cloves, crushed
Onion - one bulb, sliced
Red Bell Pepper - sliced (julienne) for garnish
Soy Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce - 2 table spoons
Hot Sauce - for spicy variation
Salt and pepper
Sautee the garlic until browned, followed by the onions. Add the button mushrooms and keep sauteeing at high heat, gradually adding the soy sauce/Worcestershire sauce, the hot sauce and the salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper strips before turning off the fire. Pour the mushrooms over the toasted bread.
