A bachelor’s party is conventionally thrown as a surprise by the man’s best buddies to commemorate his passing from one life phase to another. It’s also done to congratulate the would-be groom on his decision to take the next step… to get hitched!

Nowadays, a bachelor party is planned ahead of time, with the groom having a say in everything. Of course, nothing will stop the well-meaning friends from throwing a surprise party, but for the most part, a planned bachelor’s party can be better because it gives power to the exiting bachelor in terms of choosing a theme, a venue, fixing his schedule and inviting the people he wants to invite.

Without a doubt, the bachelor’s party is one of the most memorable nights in a would-be- groom’s life, so he’ll want all of his closest friends and family there with him to join in the fun. A typical bachelor’s party comprises the things he will “miss” from his previous life as a single guy, including staying up all night drinking and going to strip clubs. But recently, more and more types of bachelor’s parties have been sprouting. If you’re planning a bachelor’s party for a friend or a colleague, you might want to try a day spa party theme, a western barbecue theme and a personal massage theme.

Although some of your friends might not like the idea of putting on mudpack on their face and receiving advice from consultants for their chest acne, these themes are still very unique and memorable. To some of the men, this might even be a once in a lifetime experience. At the very least, the bride-to-be will be glad to know that her groom spent the day moisturizing rather than going to a strip club.

Everyone loves to go to the the cinema house to relax, but with the soaring gas prices, traffics jams and the cost to watch one movie, watching movies the old way has lost its appeal. Going to the movie theaters every single day is definitely costly, but what if you want to have a movie party to celebrate an occasion. One movie buff will tell you that you can get bigger than life pictures and surround sound in your own home.

This is my idea for a home movie party:

1. Make the popcorn multi-flavored. You can use several popcorn shakers (any old container with a cover will do). Prepare different flavors: chocolate, butter, lite butter, caramel coated, cheese, pizza and sour cream.

2. Create personalized seating. Some home theatre seating, the good, plush kind, are expensive, but we can accessorize any love seat or divan to make it the perfect companion to that wonderful movie. You know how some people love to sit on the floor while watching a movie? You can use your old pillows to accommodate guests who love sitting on the floor with a tub of popcorn in front.

3. Your Home Theater System. Knowing the basics of a home movie theater set up in a small room is crucial. What part of the room has enough space to accommodate your television? The den, of course! Next, is your television set. The best size is 27″ and if you already have this, you only have to spend for the DVD player. If your player has progressive scan, great; but even without progressive scan, your good old DVD player will do.

Perhaps the most important components of a home movie theater are the home theater speakers. How many, you ask? You need three high-quality home theater speakers for your home movie theater; one on the right side, one on the left side and one on the rear center of the converted den.

4. Your Movie Collection

Depending on your guests, their age group and their preferences you can prepare the following movie genres: chick flicks, classics and sitcoms. I know someone who pulled off a successful “Friends” marathon recently (who else misses Chandler, Monica and Ross? How about Joey, the aggressive wannabe actor?).

Have your own home movie party now!

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!!!

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.
