what's the point of bachelor parties?

and strippers and lots of alcohol? Isn't that a sort of lamentation that you're actually giving up your singlehood? And doesn't that mean that you're not happy that you're committing the rest of your life to just one person? I don't know about you. But when I get married and I found out that such a bachelor party took place - with strippers and my future-husband getting drunk, I'm calling the wedding off.

Hahaha. Nice arguement. But bachelor's party are suppose to be a time for the groom to thank some friends and say goodbye to singlehood. Its not a lamentation, it is a celebration of what have been a great single life. Strippers are just accessories. and they are just add ons and not mandatory

Welcome to myLot and I'm guessing you're a Kabayan :) I don't get why such an "accessory" is favored by many. I know that it's supposed to be a celebration but having strippers around seem to insult the holy commitment to be made the very next day. And in addition, you make it sound like a great single life does entail having stripper around :P - that's just how I interpreted the arrangement of the argument :)

well a lot of bachelor party a lot of things get out of hand.some cases the marriage is off after a bachelor party.personally these types of party require a lot of self control.if you are weak my advice is don,t do it .

I think that "risking marriage" is not the only issue here. Not because the husband to be "survives" the bachelor party and the marriage goes on, doesn't mean the bachelor party was appropriate...

My fiance and I are both against Bachelor Party's or Bachelorette Parties. We don't like the idea of getting drunk, and strippers would be akin to feel like we're cheating on one another. I agree that it's almost like a cry that your not ready for the commitment. My fiance and my friend wants to have a party for my fiance, but at the same time he knows and respect that neither of us (nor our friend for that matter) drink, so therefore it'd be more like a hanging out session for the two of them, plus friends then anything else... no girls, ofcourse.
