1st, its been a while since I have been on here. Im glad to be back!!!
ok. now the predicament. I am the best man for my buddy. Everyone knows that the best man plans the bachelor party. Well, it has been requested by both parties that there be no nudity . (yes I know, but that will be made up during mine ). I was thinking going paintballing, but one of the groomsmen shot it down, and the rest are not happy . I need to find something that fits the criteria, and quick. Its gonna go down Aug 4th. None of us , and our next best option is camping. Only a few of us drink (the soon to be hitched one refuses to have any sip of goods, and he is of age ). Here is where I turn to the real men for help. Any suggestions??????

Reason: misspelling of a word
you don't need alcohol to have fun, though i enjoy it, but anyways, i can't think of anything really, all the bachelor parties i have been to were just parties where everyone got drunk.
i say grab all these poeple together and rell them you threw out a few ideas, lets hear what they think, let them solicit ideas so everyone will be happy.
ultimitly though, i think you shou,d find out what the guy who is getting married would like to do, that is who the party is for anyways.
you;re in drum line at a university and you're strapped for ideas?????
Why not hit up a baseball game, or deep sea fishing, snorkeling, night out on the town, hitting various clubs get a limo and a DD..... One of my freinds is having a poker tourney at a local pub for his BP
I had a similar problem with planning my brothers Party. Some were religious and there were youngsters going Too.
What I came up with was a dinner and then comedy show. Everyone had a great time. Those who wanted to drink could and everyone likes to laugh..
Just don't get a seat to close to the front or you will be the show...
Are you sure this guy is okay? No drinking, no nudity, where did he find the girl hes going to marry? Maybe drug your mate, feed him copious amounts of alcohol then take him to every strip joint and knock shop in town, he might actually have some fun for the first time in his life and realise he doesn't want to get married. The other option being to step down from best man duty and tell your mate to get a life.

I think he's been hanging around a convent too long!
As for the paint ball thing, it sounds like everyone else wanted to give it a shot, so if the one guy doesnt like it, tough, the party isnt for him. Try an amusement park if that is more their speed(non-paintball guy might want to ride the little tea cups so his little tummy feels ok afterwards)
And last, when in doubt, go rent Bachelor Party for some ideas!
You need to show this guy a great time before he goes down that dreaded path of doom.
I was the best man for a buddy of mine and was in the same predicament. I had no idea what to do, and to top it off I didn't know half of the guys my buddy wanted me to invite. Anyway, after coming up with a few ideas that some liked and some didn't I began to get frustated and finally settled on golf. Those who wanted to play met us at the golf course. Those who didn't, met us later for a BBQ. It turned out to be a good time except some of the guys got my buddy so drunk he passed out before nine o'clock.
Those that know me know I'm probably one of the least conservative guys around here- but my own bachelor party was a dinner out at a local comedy club. It would have worked out pretty well, except my one aunt that came up for the wedding wound up in the ER with kidney stones that night. As it turned out, I don't think i made it through the main course before I had to leave.... it was a long night for wifey and I.
It makes me sad to say it, but one of my buddies had one of the lamest bachelor parties ever. We went bowling. Yes folks, bowling. This guy was a top shelf party animal til he met his wife, then he went all soft. But I guess that beats mine, I didn't have one. Oh well.
Well- it depends. I made a deal with wifey. She wouldn't move back to her folks house for the week before the wedding, and I'd have a real low-key bachelor party. I know some of my friends think I wussed out.... but do the math guys.
When my buddy got married last year, he had a work stag and a friend and family stag. The work stag involved going to the bar after work and getting hammered, then going home. Okay, so that happens every day.
The family stag didn't happen as it normally would. See, he lives about 3 hours away from his friends and family. He was supposed to come down for a weekend and we'd get this thing done. We were gonna go to an Indian casino in Washington overnight, but I guess he chickened out. To be honest, I didn't like the idea either, but I would have gone along with it, had he not backed out.
Ultimately, what we did, the week before at about 10 pm, I called up the other groomsman, and asked if he felt like driving 3 hours to go play golf "up there". He said no, not really, but he liked where my head was at, and sent his best wishes. Then, I called my engaged buddy, and told him to clean off his clubs, we're going golfing in the morning. Wife and I packed up, and went to bed. Got up at 5 am, drove the 3 hours, and woke them up. A long day I tell ya. Breakfast at a golf course, golfing, lunch at a bar with a pool, swam around a bit, drank some more, our women were getting just as drunk. So he had a Jack and Jill stag.
After all was said and done, nobody got embarassed, nobody got in trouble, and I had a bad round of golf.
