5 Fabulous Gay Bachelor Party Ideas

By Peter Minkoff

Crunch the numbers from the last six weeks of wedding announcements, and there it is, plain as day: The median age of the gay newlyweds is 50.5  A wedding truly is a memorable event and the entrance into entirely new life. But, as you are getting ready to say the “I do” and spend the rest of your life with your partner, first, you should say goodbye to your old single life for good  and celebrate it!

You can choose to celebrate that event with your partner together or throw a separate bachelor party. Of course, if you have the same circle of friends you can do all those things together. If, however, you are friends with different people, then you can wait for the wedding day to connect them.

Regardless of what your decision will be, here are 5 awesome suggestions about on what to do on that special night.

Cocktail party

Cocktails anyone?

Cocktail party is one of the greatest ideas for bachelor parties, especially if your wedding is during summer. Not only it is easy to organize them, but they are also affordable. Not that you should care about that. Most importantly they can be creative and personalized. Make a few signature cocktails that will remind you of your relationship or on your single life, if you prefer. To spice things up a bit, play a game. How long has it been since you’ve played “truth or dare” for the last time?

Great Gatsby inspired party

The Great Gatsby love!

Oh, wouldn’t it be just lovely to be able to travel through time and return to the flashy and glittery 1920’s. So turn your glamour on and make a festivity worthy of remembering. When deciding for this option you should think about decoration: feathers, gold and pearls. The next step is champagne, champagne for everyone. When having a Gatsby-themed bachelor think about hiring a jazz band, or play some old movie soundtracks, and then dance the night away. A little party never killed nobody, right?

Masquerade party

Bachelor party in costumes!

Whether you decide for a grand, gala event as the ones hosted by European royalty and aristocrats or for a funky theme, you can find many costumes online and some of them will definitely match your needs. If you opt for the first one, make the event as mysterious as it can be, and then at the stroke of midnight and with great fanfare remove all the guests and you, should remove your masks. If you, however, prefer some other theme, decide for just one, for example: favorite musicians, movies, TV shows, etc.

Road trippin’

Dreaming Mykonos!

Pack your bags and sail off to an adventure. This is the party that depends the most of your interests. Think of a place you always wanted to visit. Is it Mexico, Buenos Aires, London, Paris, Mykonos? Whatever you decide, this is an ideal chance on making your dreams come true. Talk about this with your friends and think of some doable and affordable options.

Introducing the passion

My take on la fiesta!

There is nothing more passionate than Latin dances, so gather your friends and find a great dancing place. And here’s the fun part: Hire a dancing teacher and learn to dance salsa, tango, samba, rumba, etc. Make it a themed party, by having drinks and foods which origin from Latin American countries.

All you have left to do know is to have an amazing time. We wish you a fantastic bachelor party and a happy marriage life!
