Non Traditional Bachelorette and Bachelor Parties

More and more men and women are moving away from "traditional" bachelor and bachelorette parties with strippers and massive amounts of beer. This may be a sign of changing attitudes, or a reflection of the average age of people getting married is a lot older now, either way, it's time to consider other, more creative and non traditional bachelor and bachelorette parties.

First and for most is to find out what the groom and bride-to-be interests and hobbies are, then use that to base your ideas on. Here are some of the great alternative and creative ideas to help you decide on your stag or stagette event. Note, that some of these are geared towards either the male or female group, but many can be one or the other.


The Amusement Park Bachelor Party

This is where you can go to be a kid again. Get day passes for a local, or further away, amusement park. If you go to a far one, spend a night at a hotel too. Take in all the huge rollercoaster’s, rides and eat greasy food all day. Follow that up with a night out at a pub or local restaurant for more food and drink. If you find one with a large go-kart track too, then you can have competitions and races. Use the track times to compete for prizes, or the losers of each race have to a liquor shot ( later that evening, not while you are racing go-karts ).

The Outdoor Bachelorette or Bachelor Party

This type of stagette or stag party can be a lot of different things. You can go camping for a day, or weekend. If it is not warm enough for that, you can take a weekend ski trip, get on one of the weekend ski tours and not have to worry about driving either, let the bus driver do that for you. Then you can party all weekend instead of just one day. You can also do an extreme event weekend and do some white water rafting, hiking, sky diving, bungee jumping, etc.

Alternative Night Out Parties

The traditional night out bachelor or bachelorette party usually involved a couple night clubs or strip clubs and lots of drink. Instead, go out to a comedy club, or dinner theater. You can also go out to a bar, but instead of drinking the drinks, take a bar tending class there. A non-traditional type of night out could also be a beer or wine tasting night at local brewery or vineyard. Combine that with a great, catered dinner too.

The Really Different Bachelor Party

Get out and build something…. What I mean here is volunteer as a group on a weekend to help build a house for habitat for humanity, or something similar. This would be great for someone who already volunteers and for a group of guys, or girls that would really enjoy helping others in this way. There are a lot of other similar type of activities you can do like this too.
