MAIN Entertaining Wedding Guide Bachelor Party Ideas

The old bachelor party tradition usually includes lots of drinking, toasting, dirty songs and good gags and, of course, the occasional stripper.

But modern bachelor parties can also include anything from a weekend paintball bash to a casual get-together with close pals for a night of bowling and beer.

Whether mellow, or wild, responsibility for organizing the bachelor party usually falls to the best man. Meanwhile, the rest of the groomsmen can usually be relied upon to chip in for expenses.

Since there's nothing worse than a groom in need of a monster hangover cure (brides can be very touchy about this - go figure) the traditional "night before" bash is increasingly being moved to the week before the wedding ceremony.

Finally, if you're planning to include a DJ in the mix, check out some ideas for songs to fit the occasion:

• Who Let The Dogs Out - Baha Men • All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight - Hank Williams, Jr. • The Boys are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy • Running with the Devil - Van Halen Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions • Gin and Juice - Snoop Dog • I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash • Back in the Saddle - Aerosmith • Devil With A Cause- Kid Rock • Every Day - Dave Mathews Band
