Miss Marple Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 My sons are all groomsmen in a friend's wedding coming up in June. This friend was my oldest son's roommate at college all 4 years. He is an only child and he spent a lot of time with us during the years. He came to feel that my sons were his brothers :) It is all very sweet. His parents are school teachers and have had their opinion of homeschooling change based on getting to know my sons. So they are putting together a bachelor party. All are Christian young men and don't/won't do a club or anything sleezy. Also, my youngest is under 18 so that adds a further dimension to what they can/will do. They cannot take a trip (thought about a camping trip) because my oldest is taking off work and only has 1 day. I told them they could do a "spa" for men - get facials, massages, etc., and find a Groupon or Living Social deal. A couple of the boys like the idea because they have always wondered what that would be like. A couple think it's too "girly". Any ideas for a good, clean, low danger bachelor party? (paintball was nixed due to bruising) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 DH was 20 when he got married, and all his groomsmen were younger by a year or two. I think they did the laser tag/go-kart track/pizza and Xbox at home thing. He played golf with his dad and groomsmen on the morning of the wedding.

AdventureMoms Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 My cousin did bowling. None of them were bowlers, particularly, but it was a good way to hang with the guys, and beer was available to those who wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't remember where you are but kayaking or whitewater rafting is a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Laser tag, pool party, bowling, baseball game, poker night, something like Dave and Buster's (food and game room), go carts, batting cages, mini golf, some kind of scavenger hunt for the groom- ending in one of the above.....

AndyJoy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I planned my best friend's bachelorette party under similar circumstances (Christians, teen sisters of the bride) in a town I didn't know, so I utilized the internet to plan a multi-stop jaunt around the town. The bride wore a goofy hat identifying her as the bride-to-be. First we had goofy fun at a local park, then we went out for pizza, then we walked around the mall (and bought some lingerie), then we rode the mall's carousel, then we stopped at Baskin Robbins for a custom ice cream cake I had ordered ahead of time. I brought plates, forks, and a knife and we ate it there, much to the staff's amusement. My DH and his groomsmen had dinner at a favorite restaurant and played pinball/video games at a local arcade.

Chelle in MO Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 My teen sons were included in an event like this last year. They went out to dinner and to a Cardinals' baseball game. Everyone had a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
