Jack Colton Says: How to Plan a Bachelor Party

Well, spring is here, and summer is not that far behind. And we know what that means... wedding season. Of course, with wedding season, comes BACHELOR PARTY SEASON! Las Vegas is THE place for a bachelor party, but it is also a viscious jungle of tourist traps. Who oh who can save us from becoming lunch for some hungry capitalist?

JACK COLTON TO THE RESCUE!!

As always, our favorite Vegas style-ite Jack Colton has the goods on how to plan things right, and see that the night goes off without a hitch for you and your friends.

Here's a peek:

STEP # 1) SELECT THE RIGHT GROUP OF PEOPLE:
You always want to have a good balance of personalities in any group situation, and a Vegas Bachelor Party is certainly no exception. Avoid any awkward “unvites” by limiting your invitation list to people that you (and your bachelor) know well and that you’ve already had lots of great stories with. And whatever you do, don’t be afraid to leave “that guy” (the one that everyone secretly hates) at home.

Step # 2) Choose a date range that works for most of the group.
Plan your Vegas Bachelor Party keeping everyone’s work schedules and known family events in mind, and since you are a large group of guys – try to not book your big trip on a very busy Holiday weekend (especially if you plan on going to any nightclubs). Once you’ve nailed down a couple of solid possibilities (do not rule out mid-week dates), check out Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz for the best airline and hotel rates. Talk to everyone and agree on the best time to get everything booked and, if possible, have everyone book their flights and hotel rooms at the same time so that everyone will get to town and be in the same place at around the same time.
