Picture this: you’ve been named Best Man. It’s the happiest day of your life. But then you start thinking about one of the biggest responsibilities you’ll ever have (the buck’s party) and the pressure hits you all at once. You’re now responsible for your mate’s once in a lifetime (we hope) best night ever and have no idea where to start. Well lucky for you, there’s no need to worry, because Varsity has come through with the ultimate guide to planning the best bucks party!
Remember, it’s his special day! If you want to create a memorable night that your mate will love, make sure to check in with him before locking anything else in. For example, you could double check that your invite list is accurate – have you missed anyone? Does he want a bigger or smaller party? It’s better to ask his preferences so you can tailor the party to what he wants. You could also consider having a ‘do not’ list, to make sure you don’t end up organising something he’s not interested in. If you’re on the same page from the beginning, we guarantee you’ll nail it.
Even though a good buck’s night is worth spending a bit of money on, there’s no need to go overboard. Before you spend all your money, sit down and make a rough total of how much each activity will cost. If you’re not sure about where you should cap the budget, contact a few of the groom’s friends to ask how much they’d be willing to contribute. Once you know how much you have to shell out on all the fun stuff, you can see what’s doable and start booking!
One of the most important decisions when planning a buck’s party is choosing the right venue to party in! Activities can be fun, but also expensive, costly and time consuming – a great way to get the most out of your day is to start off with an activity the groom loves and then move to a venue where you can spend the rest of your time at. Our tip: choose an easily accessible, centrally located venue, where the entertainment comes to you… like maybe your favourite sports bar? At Varsity, we have private function rooms for parties, where we provide an all in one experience – food, drinks, venue and entertainment sorted in one go. So, why not celebrate with your mates before the big day here at Varsity – the ultimate place to get together, unwind and have a cracking good time.
When finalising the guest list, make sure the groom’s expectations are appropriate of who will be able to attend – unfortunately not everyone will be able to make it on the day. After chatting to the groom and creating a group, consider arranging a get together and throw around ideas with the groomsmen. After you’ve set the details, you can send out the invites outlining:
You’ll also want to ask for an RSVP, their contact info and any dietary requirements. Once all the information has been sent out, it’s just a matter of confirming the numbers and gearing up for the big party!
