50 Fun Bachelor Party Activities the Bride Will Approve Of

So, one of your best buddies has officially gotten engaged. It’s now your responsibility to choose a bachelor party destination and plan some fun activities. Guys are notoriously horrible at making plans, so we’ve come up with some ideas for you. Here are 50 fun – and stripper-free – bachelor party activities your friends will undoubtedly enjoy and the bride will approve of.

Drinking Games

Let’s start with the most obvious choices. Drinking games are the quintessential bachelor party activities. It might be your friend’s last chance to get shamelessly plastered before becoming a married man. Our list of drinking games includes some old classics and new favorites:

1. Beer Pong
2. Flip Cup
3. Stump
4. Kings
5. Civil War
6. Thunderstruck
7. Shot Roulette
8. Up and Down the River
9. Edward Fortyhands
10. Cheers to the Governor

We’re willing to bet you’re familiar with at least a handful of these games. You don’t need a fancy setup to play them. Solo cups, a deck of cards, a good table and plenty of drinks are all you need. It doesn’t take much to make a man happy.

Yard Games

At some point in the party, you will want to get fresh air. Set up some yard games so your friends can continue the party outside. These games offer the perfect blend of skill and luck that inebriated partygoers are sure to love:

11. Beer Die
12. Cornhole
13. Horseshoes
14. Spikeball
15. KanJam
16. Ladder Toss
17. Flag Football

The cool thing about these games – with the exception of spikeball and flag football – is that they only require one free hand. You and your buddies can go on drinking throughout the game. Just make sure you mix in some water while you’re playing!

Outdoor Adventures

If the bachelor is an outdoor enthusiast, he probably wants to spend his last days as an unmarried man surrounded by nature. These outdoor bachelor party activities will give him that experience:

18. Hiking
19. Fishing
20. Hunting
21. Paintball
22. Skydiving
23. Camping trip
24. Beach Getaway
25. Bungee Jumping
26. Go-Kart Riding
27. Firing Range
28. White Water Rafting
29. Skiing or Snowboarding

Chances are your friend has a specific outdoor adventure in mind, so don’t be afraid to ask him. Most people don’t like surprises, especially when they involve special occasions like birthdays and weddings. Give yourself and your friends enough time to prepare for the trip and start making plans ASAP.

Sporting Events

A sporting event is a safe bet for a bachelor party activity. It has food, alcohol and the perfect atmosphere for half-drunk men to forget their responsibilities and enjoy themselves. Your friends would have a blast at thest events:

30. MLS soccer match
31. UFC event
32. NHL hockey game
33. MLB baseball game
34. NCAA or NBA basketball game
35. NCAA or NFL football game
36. PGA, LIV or DP World Tour Golf Tournament

If you live in a major city, you might be able to attend multiple sporting events in one weekend. There are at least three major professional or collegiate sports simultaneously happening throughout the year.

Visit to the Big City

When in doubt, take your bachelor party to a big city. The best bachelor party memories often take place in dirty urban dive bars at 1:00 a.m. Consider going to these American and Canadian cities to give your friend a memorable sendoff:

37. Las Vegas, Nev. 
38. Miami, Fla.
39. New York City, NY
40. Buffalo, NY
41. Denver, Col.
42. Nashville, Tenn.
43. Austin, Texas
44. Dallas, Texas
45. Charleston, SC
46. Honolulu, Hawaii
47. Philadelphia, Penn.
48. Montreal, Quebec
49. Toronto, Ontario
50. Vancouver, British Columbia

Of course, you must remember the ultimate rule: no strippers. One of your closest friends is just a few months away from tying the knot. Don’t ruin his relationship with his fiancee with one bad decision. Keep the parties clean and don’t cause any temptation.

Throw a Bachelor Party to Remember

Your friend is settling down with his new wife in a few months. He will have new commitments, which means less time with his friends. Throw a party he will remember with these bachelor party activities and give him the last hurrah he deserves.
