Find a Stripper for Your Bachelor Party
Strippers and bachelor parties go together like two peas in a pod. But for those of us new to the bachelor party scene, it's a little tough to find out how to acquire some adult entertainment. While a stripper can take the top of the list of groomsmen gifts, you have to be careful when you're finding one. Talking to adult entertainment companies Strippers, or people who supply strippers, are sometime not the most reputable folk. Think about it. People don't like to take off their clothes for cash because they like to be social. Put some effort into finding a good company. Here are some tips: Call around. If you want to work with a professional business (and since you're bringing a stripping stranger into your home, it might be a good idea) most of these companies are found in the phone book or online. Some companies may have a policy that you have to book the entertainer over the phone during your initial call. This is an empty threat. It also means these guys can be super shady. Get the deal in writing. If you plan on working with a company, make sure there is a written contract sent to you by email or fax. This is also a great place to get a good estimate of what the "show" will consist of before hand. Find out what your stripper looks like. You won't get anything like our old naked guy at the top of the page, but sometimes these companies send a lower-than-expected product to your doorstep. You can either: pay the fee and send her packin' - or - bust out your groomsmen gifts of Personalized Brush Metal Flasks, and drink that unnecessary armpit hair away. Check ahead of time if photographing or filming is above the board. Most of the time it's not. The last thing you need is an angry, half-naked stripper... or way worse, her big mean bodyguard taking the camera away. Another great bachelor party tip Bachelor Party Confidential recommends to put your best man on point for the party. It's his job to keep your groomsmen in line. It's cool to have fun, but if all hell breaks loose, the stripper will bail at a moments notice. Otherwise, have a good time and enjoy your last moments of bachelorhood.

Cigar Night - Start a Cigar Club with the Guys
Remember that scene in "Knocked Up", when Pete went behind his wife's back to participate in that nerdy baseball draft? Poor Pete! We all know guys (especially married ones) long for male camaraderie. From boy scouts to fraternities to the mob, the boys-only club is an American institution. But now that you're married guys' night doesn't have to end. With a few groomsmen gifts and some creative ideas, you can start you're own cigar club and hang with the guys, without being as secretive as Tony Soprano. Set up a Smokescreen Hate to say it, but she probably disapproves of your stinky cigar habit. There is nothing worse than going in for a kiss and catching a whiff of a stale Swisher. To appease your new wife and your best buds, designate one room as your man lair and take your stogies underground. Deck it out in wood paneling and Cuban furniture. Then, mark your territory with this classic pub sign. As an invitation into the brotherhood, enroll your groomsmen into a cigar of the month club. Or present club members with these personalized humidors and cigar holders as groomsmen gifts. Just don't forget the lighters! Initiation Rituals What's any club without initiation? We definitely don't suggest anything as serious as a hell week hazing from your frat days, but do have a little fun with club initiation. Make your club members smoke the worst tasting cigar you can find. Or have them dress in classic Havana costumes for a night. Once all members have passed initiation, throw a party and pass out the latest issue of Cigar Aficionado and these cigar-related groomsmen gifts. Your buddies will be super proud to belong to the most exclusive club in town. Cigars, Scotch, and Golf: A Debonair's Dream Although puffing stogies while shooting the breeze with your boys sounds entertaining, you'll need more than that to keep your buddies entertained. Nothing goes better with a premium cigar than premium scotch. Definitely have an endless supply ready for your guys and give out these flasks as groomsmen gifts, so you won't get stuck washing out their glasses. And if it's a sunny day, take a club field trip to the golf course. Cigar smoking isn't legal everywhere, but there is nothing wrong with a cigar in the car (unless of course, your new bride disagrees). For more cigar items and groomsmen gifts, shop GroomStand.

Bachelor Party Hangover Cures
Bachelor party checklist: Super hot stripper - check. Personalized flasks as groomsmen gifts for all your best buds - check. Official last night of booze-fueled debauchery as a single man - check. The bachelor party is going to be off the hook, but no one wants to pay the price for it the following day. At GroomStand, we want to keep the good times with your groomsmen good, so here are some level-headed tips to party hard and recover by wedding day. What is a hangover? Before you go out and get nuts, it's best to understand what's going on when you slug down drinks. Hangovers are not fully understood, but what we do know is that alcohol depletes vitamins and water from your body, which makes you dehydrated. Alcohol is also a mild diuretic - meaning it makes you pee a lot more than normal. As the body absorbs the alcohol, the stomach is irritated and the liver processes the alcohol from ethanol to methanol and acetaldehyde... which ends up being a toxin. The Hangover Cure It's recommended that you drink one glass of water in between each drink of alcohol. Since your bladder might explode under these conditions, replacing those vitamins and water is the name of the game. Sports drinks or children's dehydration remedies are chocked full of B12 and other vitamins, which makes them great sources to turn to during and after your big night of drinking. If you have some great groomsmen, they'll get you up in the morning for some light exercising. When you move around, it helps your body remove all the toxic chemicals faster than lying down. Hand out some Personalized Louisville Slugger Major League Baseball Team Logo Bats as groomsmen gifts so you can smack a few dingers at the local ball field. Not all hangovers are this easy, and as awesome as your bachelor party is, you may need some other options. Other hangover options Every culture and background has their own idea of what helps a hangover, here are a few unproven, but helpful hints: Latin, Spanish and some Asian cultures turn to spicy foods. The idea is that with all the spices, your heart rate increases and you sweat out all the toxins just like you would if you were working out. The only downside is that the spicy foods might disrupt an already upset stomach. Many European cultures believe it's a good idea to consume greasy or fatty foods before and after a night of drinking. These dense foods tend to absorb alcohol much better than compared to drinking on an empty stomach. If you're feeling super ill, you can try a table spoon of honey in a glass of water, which is known to relieve nausea and the shakes associated with hangovers. As for medications, opioids like hydrocodone, codeine and oxycodone can provide pain relief. The mix of some of these medications with alcohol can be toxic, so make sure to only take these after you've stopped drinking. Talk to your Physician before attempting a extreme hangover remedy. Never take Tylenol after an all-night drinking binge. You do want to make it to your wedding, don't you? Fruitless remedies Some people turn to more alcohol in the morning, aka "Hair of the dog." Drinking more normally makes matters worse. If you plan on going this route, drinks like the Bloody Mary combine the spices and vitamins mentioned above for a well-rounded hangover wake up. Fructose and glucose (sugar), artichoke or any dietary supplement have no scientific confirmation of preventing any signs of a hangover. Wedding Tip: Designate one of the groomsmen or the best man as the party planner. Make sure he has all the details together regarding transportation and hangover cures, and reward his efforts with great personalized groomsmen gifts to remember your legendary night. Preventing your groomsmen from getting sick is far better than dragging a fallen soldier around all night long.

7 Bad Bachelor Party Ideas
Avoid these 7 bad bachelor parties at all costs. Some are totally lame. Some are so hedonistic, they could land you in jail. If your comrades bring up these bad bachelor party ideas, tell them you have cold feet and if they persist, swiftly revoke those groomsmen gifts. Bad Bachelor Party Ideas 1. Walk the Plank. A short cruise on the open seas sounds like the bachelor party idea ever. What could be cooler than five guys on a boat, playing poker, sipping martinis, and grilling up some grub? Five guys at home, playing poker, drinking martinis, and grilling up some grub! Heck of a lot cheaper and no sea sickness. If "Gilligan's Island" taught us anything, it's to stay on shore. 2. Relive Swingers. C'mon guys. Reliving a movie for your bachelor party is the lamest idea ever. You're an original. Don't convince everyone to talk and dress like the crew from "Swingers". Don't suggest wine tasting with the boys like in "Sideways." Wine tasting could never be that much fun! And emulating "Very Bad Things" leads to someone buried in the desert. Think of it this way: Elvis sunglasses are awesome; Elvis impersonators are pathetic. Use elements of movies in your party plans, don't re-enact them scene by scene. 3. Amateur Hour.... at the Comedy Club. This is what happens when you let your fiancee plan your bachelor party: The bad comedy club. Don't spend your last night of freedom listening to a middle-aged comedian's amateur routine. Why? We guarantee his stand-up will be filled with stupid marriage jokes about how much he hates his wife. After a tortuous hour of "marriage humor," you'll be crying in your cocktail and wishing you never proposed. 4. Let's Get Tattoos! Do not under any circumstances go to a tattoo parlor the night of your bachelor party. This is precisely how regular dudes end up with blotchy unicorn tattoos. After this shin-dig, you'll have to give tattoo removal kits as groomsmen gifts. 5. Sky Diving, Base Jumping, Wind Surfing. Extreme sports (basically anything in an energy drink commercial) should be off limits for your bachelor party. Visible scars and broken noses just don't look right with a tux. Save the cliff diving for when you're honeymooning in Hawaii. 6.Tijuana. While Vegas is a suitable destination for a bachelor party, Tijuana is not. Tell your bride-to-be your going to Tijuana and no matter how supportive she is of stag nights, she'll raise her eyebrows and shoot you "the look." 7. A Salacious Show. We're totally for entertainment of the ummm...visual sort. That is, if it comes fiancee pre-approved. But avoid Vegas-type shows with scantily clad women for one reason: Justin Scheidt. Scheidt's bachelor party went sour after dancers pulled him on stage for the traditional "embarrass the groom" routine and he sustained permanent injuries to a sensitive area. Yikes. There you have it, the seven worst bachelor party ideas. As long as you stay away from boats and Tijuana, you'll be fine. Have a great time! PS. When it comes time to buy those groomsmen gifts, look no further than branddepot.com/collections/groomstand.

5 Bachelor Party Don'ts
I just saw The Hangover, and let's just say I have a new found love of bachelor parties, tigers, and Mike Tyson. It's all fine in fantasy, but nothing can ruin your wedding faster than a bachelor party gone wrong. Picture this: You stumble down the aisle, half hungover after and as you take your vows, wondering what salacious acts you took part in the night before. Not fun. Have a good time but avoid these five bachelor party don'ts: Don't get tattoos. Bachelor party tattoos are out. Drunkenness + tattoo = splotchy mess on your neck that looks like a bruise or has your fiancee's name spelled wrong. Don't go skydiving. I'm all for skydiving, but do it either after your wedding or months before. Walking down the aisle wearing a neck brace isn't fun. Don't lie. Who wants to spend their bachelor party hiding out from their fiance. Don't tell your fiancee you're going wine tasting when you're really going to Vegas. Secret bachelor parties aren't fun at all. When you're supposed to be livin' it up, you'll be uncomfortably checking your phone for text messages. "Ssshhh, my fiance is on the phone." She's not your mom, she's your fiance. Talk about your expectations for the bachelor party well ahead of time. Don't be lame. It's your last night as a single man. If you're not a big drinker, forgo the shot glasses for poker sets. Whatever you do, find some way to celebrate the end of your bachelor days. Don't go to Tijuana. Vegas is one thing, Tijuana is a party animal of a different color. While I think it's a perfectly acceptable place to visit while you're completely single, it's not a good place to go when you're getting married the next day. Tell your in-laws you're headed to Tijuana for the bachelor party and you'll get more than a few raised eyebrows. And who knows if you'll ever make it back.

"No Baggage With This Baggage"
The bachelor party has been set. It's time for the groomsmen to take the groom out for one last hurrah, and that final hurrah can only mean one thing -- donkey show at El Diablo's in Tijuana, Meh-hee-ko! (Zagats gives it 4 out of 5 stars and so does this reviewer!) You haven't lived until you've heard a donkey bray with a Spanish accent. As you plan for this delightful little jaunt South of the border, a few questions will undoubtedly arise: Q: Will I die? A: No. Tia Juana's tourism industry is vital to the local economy. They want you and your boys to leave the country happy (without any unexpected "groomsmen gifts") so that you will return again and enjoy the city's other unique live theatre offerings. For example, this fall Casa de Chi-Chi will be staging The Man of La Mancha staring Donkey Blow-Me. I smell Tony! No, not Tony Award. Antonio Tony' Munez, the enigmatic artistic director of the theatre. He never bathes. Q: Do I need my shots? A: No. The cover charge at El Diablo includes inoculation. Diptep, Tetanus, Hepatitis B -- they got em all, AND they'll even salt the tip of the syringe for you. Q: Should I pack lightly? A: That's your call. You know your glands better than I do. I do, however, know you will need to pack your gear in a Logan Deluxe Duffle Bag. It's lightweight and crafted with durable water-resistant fabric so if you spill tequila on it, no problemo -- easy clean-up! It's also got brass hardware, heavy-duty zippers, leather detailing and a padded shoulder strap perfect for slinging over your torso as you dart in an out of street vendors selling Chiclets. And the best part, you can get the bag personally monogrammed for zero pesos! What great groomsmen gifts! So, hasta luego, groomigos! Have a great trip and don't forget to bring back a little something for the brideand make sure that little something is not syphilis.

"Break Free From The Ol' Ball & Chain"
Just recently I attended my brother-in-law's bachelor party that was held at an Indian Casino. I had never been to an Indian Casino before and was quite impressed. Who would've thought that under one roof you get could cash your chips in for wampum AND get frosty mug of firewater? But I digress. My brother-in-law's best man, let's call him Rick (because that's his actual name), thought it would be funny to have my brother-in-law, let's call him Rick (because coincidentally that's his name, too) walk around all night holding a plastic black ball tethered to his ankle by a plastic black chain. Ah, the ol' ball and chain gag. "Hey, look at Rick everybody. Rick made Rick wear a ball and chain because Rick's getting married next week. Get it? Ball and chain?!" Yeah, we get it, Rick! Not that clever. All you had to do was look at Rick's face to see that Rick was embarrassed that Rick made Rick wear that stupid thing. C'mon, Rick! Get creative! Don't make us start calling you Dick'and don't leave your boy Rick hanging as he plays craps while holding a plastic bowling ball. There's a better way to show the world your best friend is getting married, and that you support the next chapter in his life -- give him a Last Night of Freedom t-shirt! This 100% cotton ditty is an awesome gift for the groom, and he will not be embarrassed to wear it anywhere! And let's not forget groomsmen gifts for the groomsmen. They can sport Last Night of Freedom Crew t-shirts in support of the groom-to-be. Both shirts can be personalized with the name of the groom and/or groomsmen on the back for free. I wish Rick knew about these t-shirts before he broke out the ol' ball and chain. If I knew about them, I'd certainly know who to give the "Dick" t-shirt to.

Golf Bachelor Party Gone Bad
Throughout the dawn of man, or at least the last 100 years, a guy’s bachelor party meant it was time to eat, drink and have some rowdy fun. However, the rowdiness is typically associated with the groom and his group of friends. Apparently, that doesn’t always hold true! Recently, a bachelor party outing at a golf course in Florida got out of control, and it wasn’t even the groom and his groomsmen that threw the first proverbial punch. Read on to find out what happened, and on a saner note, find out our suggestions for golfing groomsmen gifts. According to a report in The Florida-Times Union, a pre-wedding day of golfing for a guy and his buddies turned randomly crazy as another player took out his frustrations on the group. The bachelor party posse was playing at the Beach Municipal Golf Course in Jacksonville, FL when the golfer playing directly behind them got frustrated because he felt they were horsing around, being slow and keeping him from expediently playing his game of golf. Instead of simply asking if he could play through, the 61 year-old man apparently drove his golf cart into the group at full speed. After hitting the group with the golf cart, the battle continued with words flying and golf clubs being brandished (even by the older female golfers with the aggravator). Members of the wedding party suffered a variety of injuries, none life-threatening, ranging from small cuts to leg bruises. The man was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Thankfully, the wedding party was able to make it safe and sound to the wedding and the ceremony was not affected in anyway – only a great war story to tell at the reception! Personalized 4-in-1 Golf Tool Golf and gadgets, could a guy’s life get any better? This cool tool offers the golfer four practical tools including a hoehorn, divot fixer and ball mark not to mention a cigar holder, neatly foldable and handsomely designed with a combination of silver plating and brush plating. If they could just figure out some way to include a pop-up golf umbrella, sized-just-right to fit in a pocket golf tool would be the most awesome thing ever! Plus, since the carrying case can be personalized, it makes a fine choice in gifts for the groomsman. Napa Leather Clip-on Golf Bag: This handsome bag offers your golfing accessories a luxurious parking spot and will draw compliments, even in the most upscale of country clubs. These groomsmen gifts feature five slots for tees, zippered pocket for divot tool and ball markers, and a Velcro closure to keep your valuables safe.

Premier Golf Accessories Set: Elegant enough to display on your desk in that coveted corner office, this set is also sized right to slip into a golf bag when it is finally time to head out of the office for that (ahem) offsite business meeting. The hinged box features a clear-view lid and holds three golf balls, golf tees and a marker. Adding the recipient’s three initials onto the engraved silver plaque makes this handsome groomsmen gift one of a kind. https://branddepot.com/collections/groomstand has a fantastic selection of golf groomsmen gifts that will quickly get you out of a shopping ordeal.

Top 5 Bachelor Party Ideas 2015
Not all bachelor parties have to be racy, raunchy events! In fact, the traditional drunken carousing that comes to mind when someone says "bachelor party" is actually becoming less and less common with men today.More groomsmen and best men are treating the grooms-to-be to other types of activities, and five of the best bachelor party ideas to inspire your get-together in honor of the groom: Hit the Trail. If the groom loves the great outdoors, take the bachelor party out on the open trail. Organize a hiking or fishing trip with a night of camping together afterward. You can tent camp, rent a camper or RV or reserve a cabin for your overnight accommodations and spend the evening sipping beers and swapping stories about the groom. Check out our adventure personalized groomsmen gifts! Have a Full House. Deal out some fun for the groom with a poker-themed bachelor party! Great for a small, intimate get-together, a poker party can be held at someone's house or in a private room at your favorite bar or restaurant. You don't have to play for money, or if you do, you could give the winnings to the groom at the end of the evening to help finance all those wedding expenses. Sip a Little Something. If the groom loves craft beer, fine wine or high-end whiskey, scotch or cognac, make the bachelor party a tasting celebration. Find a local brewery, winery or specialty bar to serve as your venue and spend the evening sampling and sipping. Go on the Hunt. A bachelor party scavenger hunt can be incredibly memorable! With these bachelor parties, you divide the attendees into teams and everyone tries to find items from a preset list. Personalize it by making the items or destinations relate to the groom. For example, the players could have to get a napkin from his favorite bar, grab a souvenir from the place he met the bride, pluck a leaf from the shrub outside his parents' house and more. Be a Spectator. For grooms that are super fans of a local team, there's no better bachelor party than a private event in a box at a game. You'll be able to watch the action, drink ice cold beers and enjoy a catered meal while you spend time together. Best of all, the groom might just get to cheer on his favorite team to victory. Even if they lose, he'll still be a big winner when the night is through, and as the official party planner, you'll be the MVP. Ultimately, the best bachelor party is going to be something that the groom will enjoy. Think about his tastes and what he would consider a good time, and you're sure to plan the perfect bachelor party but also check out our top 5 groomsmen gifts of 2015!
