The night before the wedding, the grooms best friends and male family members take him out for one last night of debauchery and pleasure also known as a Bachelor party. This celebration in the groom's honor was originally called the bachelor dinner, or stag party. Like many other wedding traditions, the custom has stood the test of time. It first came about in the fifth century, in Sparta , where military comrades would feast and toast one another on the eve of a friend's wedding. Even today, a bachelor party customarily takes place quite close to the actual wedding date, as it has become known as the groom's last taste of freedom. Despite the risqué entertainment that is associated with stag parties today, bachelor parties have not always entailed this controversial element. Although rowdy and boisterous, bachelor parties are traditionally organized to allow the jittery groom and his wedding attendants to release some anxieties before the big day. The kindest thing you can do for the Groom-to-be is to pace him. Bachelor party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a nice way to complete a Bachelor Party Theme. Bachelor Party decorations like mugs, and beverage hats can act as centerpiece and can also double as party prizes. Party favors like badges, glow sticks and cowboy hats fit a Bachelor Party Theme.
