Bachelor party advice

[Five-hole]

Hey y'all.

So my sister is getting married in the summer and I happen to be the best man as well, and so it's my responsibility to throw the bachelor a kickass party. I have a couple ideas but I would love if a few of you who've been down that road (either attended, threw, or were the recipient of) had a couple of pointers.

Here's a few stipulations and some info and whatever.

1) He's expressly stated several times he doesn't want strippers or escorts or call girls or whatever you want to call 'em. I'm happy to oblige as he's marrying my sister.

2) It'll be in and around the Okanagan area but we're open to a bit of travel.

3) We want to do a lot of outdoors-related activity. Hiking, camping, caving, climbing, sailing, etc. I'm already pretty set on doing some caving in Skaha.

4) It's going to be over a couple of days and I want it to sort of culminate at a big party getting s-faced at a sweet spot.

As well as activities any good gags and stuff are welcome suggestions. For example my sister's bachelorette party had a "Viking Van" all decorated up with spray paint and crap which they abducted her in to begin the weekend. I wanna do stuff of that calibre but my imagination isn't that great (and I've only been to one bachelor party before which was the standard-fare strippers / private room / topless waitress deal).

So help me out guys!

And let me get this out of the way:

Hookers and blow.

Hookers and...DAMNIT

Seriously, the dude doesn't want strippers at his bachelor party....WEAK.

He's marrying your sister, so if you think it's okay to have strippers, then it's okay to have strippers, and to hell with him.

You could bring strippers on this hike disguised as tour guides, and then they go nuts at the s-faced party at the end! It would be totally awesome.

Anyone who brings a camera to a bachelor party gets kicked in the balls - hard.

Also, make the groom play a round of golf or go grocery shopping in a pink dress.

The best bachelor party I ever attended ended at the Foothills Hospital. One of the party goers got assaulted with a weapon downtown. Then we had to go to court over Christmas break. Wait, that was the worst bachelor party I ever attended.

Advice: Do not carry on festivities near the Cecil or any establishment similar in nature or reputation to said Cecil.

It sounds like you might want to consider a multi-stage event based around the Penticton area. You could camp and hike in Okanagan mountain park, camp on Skaha beach and climb the bluffs, rent a hotel room and hit up the casino and the nightclubs in town, rent bikes and take the kettle valley trail up to summerland or through Naramata, rent a boat and cruise up Okanagan lake, go swimming, and throw a wine tour in along the way (which sounds girly, but is perfectly suited to jackassery after about the second winery).

I'd recommend renting a house on the water if you can get it. In the heart of the summer, that'd run you about $3500 for a week, but would fit a fairly large group, and allow you to have some private shenanigans. Of course, there's no shortage of hotels either.

I guess that leaves porn open


Seriously though, make it all about the groom, with lots of drinking and harmless shenanigans

[Thunderball]

Golf, Sailing, Hiking and lots of drinking. Maybe a Winery tour if you're all into that.

I'm of the mind that if you need mindless sex-based debauchery that could land you on your ass or at least in the doghouse as a bachelor party, you're not ready to get married. I'm sure many disagree with me. I just know that all of the people I know who had ######ed bachelor parties are now divorced. The ones with restrained ones aren't. Just my opinion though.

Waterskiing - Skaha Lake

Penticton - casino

Osoyoos - Kelowna - wineries

Washington state - casinos

A wine tour(s) is likely.

Some camping I'm considering is into Berg Lake in Mt Robson park. It's a little ways away but it should be epic.

My 'rents have a boat in the area and jacking that and camping on some beach seems like a good idea.

I also want to try to see how many pools / hot tubs in hotels we aren't paying for or staying at we can sneak into.

[burn_baby_burn]

Dressing up the groom or anything humiliating like that is just gay, not that there is anything wrong with that, but I'm assuming that your brother in law to be is hetrosexual since he is marrying your sister. Remember, its his day, make it speacil for him. Any activity that you think will be fun and will include all his closest friends will be cool.

HOUSEBOATING!!!

Perfect marriage of outdoorsy stuff (hiking fishing) and lots of party opportunities for anyone who wants.

Usually in the Schuswap, but I think they have it in the Okanagan valley too. If not just go to the Schuswap man.

It'll totally fit your number 4, and there will be lots of other people to join in on the party if you want.

[Hack&Lube]

oh wait, it's your sister marrying the guy. Probably not a good idea then.

Glad you like it.

Yup, should be less than a hotel or anything like that. You can go golfing, just sit and drink with friends, be outdoors. You got your hot tub already there, you can meet other people. You can do the whole boat up in a bachelor party theme and embarrass the heck out of your friend.

[kermitology]

Groom should end up one night duct taped to a light standard.. That'd be on my list of requests for whenever I get married.

[Bill Bumface]

If you houseboat on the Shuswap there is a golf course, Hyde Mountain, that you can get to by boat.

[JohnnyB]

I second houseboating.
It is simply the best thing you could possibly do.

[jofillips]

lol, is the fascination with hookers a North American thing?
i understand the blow, but hookers for the groom?? great way to start off a marriage!!!!
