My DH went to Miami (South Beach with like 10 guys for 2 nights). Waaaay more over the top than mine (myself and 5 girls went wine tasting, out to dinner, and then out to a bar/lounge, and stayed overnight at a hotel). He happened to be lucky that his friends could afford a more extravagant trip.
FI is going to New Orleans in March for a weekend with a bunch of his guy friends. Ironically, I'm doing the same thing but for jazz fest in April (squeeee!!!)
We're both going to Vegas, just on different weekends. Of course, the girls are staying at a nicer hotel but thats about the only difference.
He didn't have one! Kind of hard to have one when our wedding was not pre-planned and he randomly picked a day and said "We're doing this today!" as he whisked me and the kids off to City Hall to get our marriage license.
My husband's friends picked him up and took him out for a night on the town - whiskey tasting at a fancy bar, 3-course dinner at a nice restaurant, and drinks at a normal bar they all like. None of them are the strip club type, so I wasn't worried about them getting in too much trouble, but I was worried about my then-fiance getting himself home in one piece after a night of drinking (all of his friends are married so they really let loose with a guys' night!). I invited his out-of-town friends to stay with us so that they could all come home together. They got home around 2:00 am, surprisingly sober, and stayed up all night having a very sweet guy heart-to-hearts about marriage, friendship, and having babies (obv, I eavesdropped for a few minutes). It was really cute. :o)
The Thursday before the wedding he and all his friends (I think about 10 guys) went canoeing. They spent the day on the river. Then they all showered, went out to dinner, and did a little bar hopping. He was home before I was (which was good because my bachelorette did not go all that well and I really really needed a good cuddle) :).
My FI and his groomsmen will be going golfing and then to Dave & Buster's.
FI will be going for a golf weekend, and maybe for some drinks. Not into the bar/club scene anymore, and definitely not worried about him going to the strippers.
He went drinking with his buddies in one of their hotel rooms the night before the wedding. I'd had a bridal shower before, but no bachelorette. Neither of us cared much to have a party apart from each other.
He's kind of doing two things, his two groomsmen have offered as a gift, to take him to the formula one racing in Montreal this year? (does it only happen once a year? I know nothing about racing!) I REALLY hope they take him, he doesn't have a lot of money to travel and I think he would love it, so I hope they follow through.
And then he'll probably do something with more friends closer to the actual wedding. He's not really into stip clubs, but he's also not planning it. I don't care either way.
FI & I both really enjoy a good party so we have high hopes for our bach parties! He's planning on a get-away were 15+ of his buddies can all go canoeing, fishing and camping (of course with lots of beer included in all activities). I'm doing a bachelorette shower, dinner and bar-crawl with about 10-15 of my friends and I'm thinking it'll probably be a theme party of some sort...I'm such a sucker for themed events. :)
@NauticalBride2011: Mine is doing the same thing to attend the NCAA tournament.
As of right now, FI is planning and out of town trip to Nashville with a few of his friends.
I think my girls and I may go to sips n' strokes and back to my house for more wine, chocolate, & cheese! I don't think we will go bar hopping. We may go to this one strip club here in town that has guys on one side and girls on the other. I’ve only been once and it was hilariously cheesy.
DH went on an overnight deep-sea fishing trip with some friends.... it ended up being a horrible trip and not one person on the entire boat caught a fish. I told him it was symbolic that there were no more fish in the sea and he already scored the biggest catch ;)
For my bachelorette - my 4 besties took me out for a night of dinner and dancing... I spent the night, taking care of my very drunk friend and another one went home early. It was a total bachelorette FAIL - but I had zero expectation and didn't really 'need' one - but it pretty much SUCKED ;)
DH and 18 of his friends went to Lake Tahoe for 3 days. They stayed in a gorgeous house right on the water and partied the whole time. I did the exact same thing but on a budget... went to a lake a couple hours away from Seattle and only took my BMs. His party was way more expensive than mine, but I'm pretty sure I had just as good a time (if not more so) than he did!
What fun trips! I am thinking tonight is the stipper night and tomorrow is the Hockey game for sure. I have told them I don't care if they go to a strip club just no girls in the room. However, I am almost positive that two of the Gm's got a girl for the room. I am not stressed though.
My husband went to Las Vegas with his guy friends for four days. They golfed with a hired "caddy" (aka, some hot girl in a plaid mini skirt) and went clubbing and to shows.
My bachelorette was supposed to be the Saturday night that he was away in the evening after my bridal shower, but his mom crashed and refused to let us do anything other than going out for dinner.
We're both going to Vegas for a 4 day weekend with our friends.. same weekend, trying to not run into eachother
We both had to do ours the night before the rehearsal - he had guys flying in for the wedding, and that was the earliest they could attend.
He and the boys (9, I think) drove 3 hours to a larger city, and got a few suites as a fancy casino hotel. They went to dinner, bar hopped, and then came back and gambled. They called it a night around 4:00ish.
My girls and I bar hopped and went to dinner, then rented a hotel room downtown and crashed there. Nothing crazy on either side!
Mr. Shef plans on having a total "nerd fest". His words, not mine! They will go airsofting and paintballing and then probably play a bunch of LAN games and then send the underagers off (Like his brother and a few cousins) so they can have a night of drinking and being total nerdy geeky guys. I love him but if they pick up a game of D&D for his Bach party, I don't wanna know! I like to pretend he never gets that nerdy sometimes! lol
Mine did a weekend in New Orleans and LOVED it. I did a weekend in Vegas, so our b-parties were equivalent in their extremity, I suppose. He did have quite a few more people than me. I think he had 12 and I had 5. But it was a great 5. :)
My husband, his two older brothers, and a couple other guy friends spent the night at the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. Apparently they had a really really expensive dinner, smoked lots of cigars, and gambled.
Me and a large group of my girlfriends went to a Cuban restaurant (with the never-ending pitcher of sangria), then ended up at a gay piano bar (which was Awesome). I think I had more fun than my guy did, but there were extenuating circumstances (read: an obnoxiously drunken alcoholic best man).
My finance's bachelor party isnt til october but he has been planning it. He is going on a salmon weekend, he is a huge fisherman and we moved to south Carolina from Michigan. So he hasnt been salmon fishing in a couple of years and it was a big yearlly trip with all his friends. So they will be going up north sleeping in a tent by a lake and spending all weekend fishing.
Its kind of funny because I planned my bridal shower and bachelorette party around salmon fishing season. So we could fly back up to michigan together:)
He woke up early and did a round of golf with the groomsmen, Father's, Grandfather's and friends. Then they went to BDubs for lunch and then the younger guys went and played Paint Ball. Pizza dinner.
We had the girly party including cermanic painting and a party at my MOH house (aka SIL). Not such a good time but thats for another post another time. =-(
The boys met up at the SIL house at 9pm (also my brother and 1 of the best men) and had a party bus all together. DH was done after the second bar, we took him home (a lot of other got off too) and I went out to another for last call with my parents and like 7 other people. We had a blast and many of the people said it was the most fun Bach party they had been too.
EDIT: The boys were also supposed to go to Dave and Busters (vidoe game place) but were too drunk. Thats why they had the after thought pizza dinner. He's kinda a dork. lol
Ours will kind of be a weekend extravaganza. Golf with the boys, dinner with the fathers/brothers. And finishing it off with a huge campout/cookout/fourwheeling party at FI's family's land with the entire bridal party and a few selected others.
My FI is a big gamer, so his bachelor party is just going to be a night full of video games (ie probably Halo & Call of Duty) & beer drinking with all of our guy friends from undergrad! I think mine is probably going to be going out to dinner first (so my 17 year old sister/bridesmaid will be able to come) and then to a piano bar afterwards, either near my house (about 15 mins away) or to one in downtown where there's a lot of other bars too (about 50 mins away)
My FI and is friends are also gamers. They're planning a LAN party. FI hardly ever drinks. We live in Vegas, so it wouldn't be hard for them to go to a strip club or any club. I'm very grateful they're not into that stuff.
For my bachelorette party, I think we're going to do karaoke.
We are doing a jack and jill type party. We are all (guys and girls) going to dave and busters for dinner and games. However, I really feel that my FI's dream bachelor party would be a bunch of guys sitting around a video game system lol.
Ours were the same weekend. FI went with his friends overnight to detroit for the detroit auto show and then gambling at the casino. I had my bridesmaids here for the weekend with one night that was the actual "party" (with others-- we had a lingerie shower, dinner, and a comedy show), and then the next day just the BMs for mani/pedis and a girls' night in type event (although FI was home that night and he likes my BMs and they him so he actually hung out with us hah)
He's been to Vegas and TON of times for many Bach parties.. he has also done NOLA and Chicago for Bach parties.. so he decided to do Miami for his.. he went down for 3 nights with 13ish guys. I went to Vegas with 6 girls for mine.. I couldn't decide between Vegas and OC, MD for mine.. I had a blast but part of me things that a road trip would have been fun!
My DH had a weekend in Miami with 20ish guys for his bachelor party. Our group of guy friends go all out for b parties. He is currently in Tahoe for a bachelor party now. That's why I'm bored and on WB ;)

My FH just left for his Bachelor party weekend. He is driving down state to go to a Hockey game tomorrow night with his boys. They are going to have 6 guys total with them. This got me thinking...What did/or is your FH going to do for their bachelor party? Is it equal to what you are doing? He is going to be gone for 2 nights. Mine will just be a single night out on the town with my girls but drinking and time will be limited because I have my rehersal the following morning at 10:00am.
