Would it be rude to ask GM to host bachelor party?

    When planning the wedding, FI decided he didn't want a best man. He felt equally as close to all of the groomsmen, so he wanted them all to be the same. 

    But now, we are nearing less than three months before the wedding and so far, no plans have been made for a bachelor party. We live with family, with three other people, so having it at our house (which isn't ours) doesn't seem attainable. 

    He really wanted to go camping, but it's going to be freezing then. And no where around here allows alcohol on camp sites. I suggested cabins, but he didn't like that idea. 

    I've been really really thinking about asking his friend to host the bachelor party. So far, I've gotten three people who want to host my party and I don't want to have a party if he can't. I thought of politely suggesting to his friend that no one has come up with anything so far. I would plan it myself but not only do I have no idea what to plan, we're broke. 

    Would it be rude to ask his friend to help plan? I'd ask his brother, since that wouldn't be so bad, but he's living with us right now, and so far, things with him have been so frustrating. (He's been having problems with major attitudes and for lack of a better word has been acting pretty mean to us).

    I would absolutely ask the other groomsmen.  Perhaps they all assume someone else is taking care of it.

    I don't htink it would be rude to ask if someone has thought about planning... I think it would be rude to ask someone point blank to do it though.

    Who are you closest to? I'd start there. Boys... sometimes they just don't get it sometimes :)

    If you have all their emails, I'd send a group email saying "Hey guys!  I don't know which one of you is planning ______'s bachelor party, but let me know if (you need any ideas/you want to know when the girls will be on ours/etc]"

    That might spur them into action, without directly having to ask :)

    If he wants to go camping, he could ask that the bachelor party be held early- in September. There's no particular reason they have to wait until November.

    Bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, and showers are not a necessity, they are an extra ... Perhaps start the ball rolling by saying you would like to treat the guys to a night out at a local sports bar or sporting event ... might spark one of them to  plan something.
