Bachelor Party HELP!

Footloose301 · 01-05-2013, 04:52 PM

Well my 24 year old brother is getting married in November and I'm the best man. Typically, strip clubs and skanks would be the center of the party but he doesn't want any strippers. He's the type that loves to drink and party. I was thinking of hitting up Ybor City, near Tampa FL. I am looking to spend $500-1000 on this party and will be 6-12 guys in this party.

So far I think the best idea is to take a limo or party bus up to Tampa (1.5 hour drive) and bar hop. I'm not too familiar with Ybor City or Tampa though. I don't know which clubs to go to or whatnot.

I need ideas guys!!!!

Thanks

$500-1000 will f the budget just on the party bus if you're driving that far for a night

May of recommend like having everyone meet up there the maybe get bottle service at a place then bar hop, have a good time, then come back to a hotel/suite that you guys got for all the guys?

I did I recent bachelor party in Austin, TX

Had the presidential suite at The W, walked out to the bar/clubs, then had bottle service at one club, chilled a bit, went to another club where we had bottle service.
Then came back to the hotel... (These ******** hired hooke... Strippers.. LOL!!!)

It was an AMAZING night

Well I can spend more. Not a big deal. But don't want to spend $2k. Also, I was plannig to ask each guy for a little money towards it.

Limos are like $80/hr, right? That'll be $160 each way, so $320 for travel + bars/clubs VIP

Bro don't feel obligated to pay it all.

They are part of the wedding party for a reason. It's no shame to ask them for pitch in money, to soften the blow for you. They are enjoying it too......

I was never the best man....but part of wedding parties and I have always pitched in a few hundred for the event.

Your brother is saying no strippers because his woman told him too. Get them anyways and dont tell him so he has deniability.

I didn't have any strippers at mine

Why the fúck are you paying???

We almost split everything... I paid for an extra bottle, one guy paid for an extra bottle another night and one guy paid for the strippers

But that's because we wanted to go above and beyond, everything else was pretty split up, all chipped in for the hotel, and the limo and the bottle service

Footloose301 · 01-05-2013, 08:22 PM

I already said I was going to get money from the guys.....

Besides, I'm not worried about that. Ball parking overall costs.

Just looking for ideas on where to take him and whether I should get VIP at one place or two places or what you guys suggest.

I've been to several bachelor parties and we always split costs and went to a couple bars and strip club, but no strip clubs for him and we want to head to Tampa.

jofro6 · 01-05-2013, 08:30 PM

you should def not be paying for it all... I coordinated my best friends bach party last year and everyone that went chipped in, not just the groomsmen.

Also, the stripper thing, yeah he told me "no strippers" as well cause he wife told him and me we couldnt have any. Well guess what, those strippers were definately there for a few hours lol

Footloose301 · 01-05-2013, 08:32 PM

Jesus guys, I'm not paying for all of it lol. I had to put a number out there so somebody didn't recommend we fly to Las Vegas, gamble the night away, and get a penthouse suite haha.

If the party comes to $1000 and I get $100 from each guy then I'm golden.

Get in touch with Ryan (98intrigue). I bet he can help out. He lives in Tampa.

nmjaxx9 · 01-06-2013, 12:39 PM

I would def rent out a place, you dont wanna bar hop with that many people.
