I need help planning a bachelor party.

Ok, I'm best man at a friends wedding (just asked me last week, wedding is this August.) So I need to plan a bachelor party. My time is short, so I'm thinking of having it at Dave and Busters. Pool, food, and fun. Like me he is a Christian so there will be no stripper. Neither of us has issues with people drinking. There will be pool, video games, food, and (optional) drinking. I am also planning for some time for people to get up and eulogize him, say something nice, pray. I'm hoping for a good mix of funny/serious. If possible I want to get an old or fat guy (or old and fat) to dress in drag to come out and dance for him. That would make me laugh till I pee'd.
My questions are, how do I know how much to charge, am I trying to make money for him too? Do you have any ideas of other things to make this more fun/memorable? Is there anything I'm not thinking of?

No, you are not making money for anyone.

The best place to start is to go to Dave & Buster, tell them what you want, and ask for a price. Then go from there.

I just did the same for my cousins bridal shower. Called the place, told them what we wanted and they did all the rest. At the end of the night they gave me a bill which I paid (it was my present to them) and that was that.
Having everyone pitch in is good to, but I suggest you do it before the party, not at.

You are forgetting to invite donteatpoop.

But otherwise, yeah you're kind of trying to make him some cash so the boys can give him a nice send off. Kind of. It's sort of optional, really. I didn't "make money" off of my party, but that didn't make it any less spectacular. I appreciate and respect the "no stripper" rule, by the way. I asked the same thing of MBK when he was the best man for my wedding. I'll tip my hat to the two of you, and a beer back as well.

As for making it memorable, just invite one trouble maker with a plan to evacuate him. He'll remember that.

Oh, not that kind of memorable? Hmmm... I think the whole event is destined to be memorable regardless. ESPECIALLY if you get the old/fat guy in drag. lol.

So there's going to be no stripper for religious reasons but you DO want a fat old guy in drag?

MMMmmkay.

Not sure how to take that...

Also stag parties are nothing without face painting. Oh, that's kids birthday parties, never mind.

I'd wondered that myself, but I suppose that "There will be no stripper there because I don't want one." should be sufficient reason.

MrP - you should note that with regard to strippers this is the one area where a man may use female double-speak.

Any man saying "That's OK guys, I don't want a stripper." actually means "Damn straight I don't want a stripper - I want a team of strippers."

On a more serious note, are all the attendees of a similar religious bent?

Here's what my brother's best man did for him. It was a weekend long bachelor party. He arranged for one of those furnished apartments to use as a place to stay for out of towners and as the central meeting place for the bachelor party. Friday night was check in at the apartment and then we all met at a local restaurant/bar that had a large outdoor area that could handle a large party easily. Good time for everyone to meet and get aquainted as not everyone invited knew every other guest. Easy night, laid back. Those that wanted to could head over to the apartment afterwards (pretty much everyone) and play poker, craps or drinking card games if they wanted. If you were drinking you had to check your keys at the door. No drinking and driving. Strict rule. Saturday morning was a group golf outing that took most of the morning and early afternoon. Rest of the aftermoon was open. Then we all met at the apartment at six where the best man had arranged for one of those large airport shuttle type buses to take us to Austin (from San Antonio) and drop us off at 6th Street. Couple miles of 6th street is lined with bars and clubs and on Friday and Saturday nights they close off the street to traffic and it's pretty much a huge block party. We just worked our way up and down 6th street hitting shot bars and clubs. One rule was that anybody who bought the groom a shot had to have a shot with him. My brother had to drink every shot bought for him. With 13 of us buying him shots, we'd only have 1 each by the time he's had 13. We got him pretty plastered. Then the shuttle bus picked us up and took us back to the apartment where everyone just crashed all over the place. Still no driving allowed after drinking. Sunday was spent having a huge paintball war at one of the larger ranches near here. All in all, it was one the best weekends I've ever had. Feel free to borrow any or all of these.

This is true.

??? What does this mean?

Here is something a lot of guys seem to have a hard time understanding. The see a comment like mine and what they read is, "I don't like strippers." This is not an issue of whether or nor sexy naked ladies dancing around are fun to look at, its an issue of making a right moral choice.

On a more serious note, are all the attendees of a similar religious bent?
Nope, it will be a mixed crowd. And to further explain, the old fat guy in drag (if I can get one)will not strip. He will just prance around a little and then leave.

Great idea.

I was at 2 separate birthday parties, both for dudes, and the wives hired this guy dressed in drag. The wives gave him all kinds of info before hand, so the dragged dude did sorta of like a roast for the birthday person, acting as if they knew one another etc. It was hysterical, and I have to say, the best part of the party.

Who are you trying to raise money for? Because if you are charging attendees without their being womenz expect a riot, or you better have large quantities of psychedelics on hand.

2.

If you google hard enough....I'm sure you can find SOME Christian religious doctrine, justification, or pardon for having strippers for a bachelor party. It isn't like you are hiring hookers.

I didn't have a bachelor party, and I'm fine with that because I eloped and didn't have a wedding. But for any guy that is actually going through the whole wedding shebang....you should really have a night to remember.

FOR INSTANCE: If I DID have a bachelor party I wouldn't want strippers either, but I'd like to have all my old friends together to lick some paper and wander around the beach one last time. That would be something to remember.

I live in St Clair (not shores, the one near Port Huron). And yes, the Dave and Busters by Lakeside Mall is the one we will be using. And yes it would be awesome if you were able to come. And no, you cannot bring your own stripper/s. And what is part Christian!? And do you own a dress? Are you fat? Cause I was just wondering.
