You are groom’s bestman and have been given the responsibility to organise the pre-wedding bash for your friend. However, you have no clue on how to go about it. Then, friend you have reached the right place that would offer you adequate and creative ideas in organising the memorable Bucks party for your dear one.
1 -
Step 1: Discuss with buck: You need to discuss with your buck a general plan of the day. Of coarse there will always be surprises but it's no good planning a day fishing if he gets cronic sea sickness. Get some base line agreement on the days activity
2 - Seek advice from the experienced horses: Those who have already had to organise Bucks parties can offer you pearls of wisdom regarding the planning and organising.
3 - Carry out Research: You can read through magazines and online material, regarding the possible ideas that can be implemented.
4 - Take close friends in advice: Don't be scared to delegate your responsibility to your close friends and can seek their advice.
5 - Decide on budget: Generally, the Bucks’s friends pool in and divide the expenses between themselves. Decide how big the budget is and plan the bash accordingly.
6 - Decide on date: Choose a date that should be convenient to the Bucks and the attendees..
7 - Decide on Venue: Lots of options are available on this front. Depending on budget you can stay local or look at inter-state destinations and make a weekend of it..
8 - Have a theme based party: Having a theme based party makes the celebrations livelier. You can decide on themes like the ‘James Bond Look’, ‘Hyippie Look’ or you can get a little wild and go for ‘Samba look’. If possible try to organise something for the daytime that will give everyone the opportunity to get to know each other and something to talk about, before the evening kicks off.
9 - Prepare the Guest List: This is a special event for the Bucks. Consult him and invite all his near and dear friends and family for the bash. Avoid keeping the invitation open ended as it may result in coming along of uninvited guests whose boisterous behaviour might ruin the party.
10 - Seek Confirmation: Ask for confirmation from all those who intend to attend the bash.
11 - Avoid scheduling the party the night before the wedding: It is a good idea to hold the party 1-2 weeks before the wedding. If the bash is hosted just a day prior to marriage then it would not give sufficient time for the groom and his guests to recuperate from the indulgence of the night before.
12 - Prepare Speech: Being Bucks’s best friend you would also be required to give the speech. There are certain guidelines that should be kept in mind while preparing a speech. The speech should be sincere with smattering of humour. However, avoid being unnecessarily funny. The speech can contain any interesting anecdote from Bucks’s single/unattached days. You will also be required to toast for his new life.
13 - Plan safe transport for guests: Make provisions for adequate transport facility to ensure guests get home safely. You can even go for making a short contract with a cab service.
14 - The Buck should be the man of the moment: The bestman should ensure that Buck is having fun. The occasion is to celebrate his new innings as a married man. The Bestman should ensure the Buck leaves his bachelorhood in style.
15 - Plan a surprise for the Buck: Add a surprise to the bash. Probably best you work out what's best suited for your buck.. Of course all that should be done in good humour.
16 - Avoid overly provocative entertainment: Buck's parties are all about fun but be sure that you don't get the buck into anything he won't be able explain away the next day.He is getting married after all..
