hen’s party<\/a>. He might be more reasonable about agreeing to a ‘no touching the stripper’ rule if it applies to you too!<\/p>\nCheck the date<\/h3>\n
Traditionally the buck’s party was the night before the wedding, but these days most grooms are holding theirs several weeks before the big day. When you talk about your buck’s and hen’s parties, discuss how close to the wedding you think is appropriate. If you are worried that your fiance’s mates are likely to shave off his hair, or draw glasses on his face with a permanent marker, make sure you leave at least three weeks between the buck’s night and the wedding.<\/p>\n
Reset your expectations<\/h3>\n
As soon as you think about his buck’s party, your mind will be full of booze, pranks, strip clubs and sleaze, but in actual fact many guys are now choosing much more wholesome pursuits. White water rafting, golfing, paintball, and fishing are now all popular buck’s party activities.<\/p>\n
Of course these may be followed by a barbeque and a few beers, or even a night in the pub, but the focus is often more on having a laugh with the boys than watching naked ladies.<\/p>\n
Stop watching the clock<\/h3>\n
When the night, or the weekend of his buck’s party arrives, make sure you have plenty to occupy yourself so you’re not constantly worrying about what he’s up to. If possible try to arrange your own hen’s party for the same time. Otherwise, plan some wedding tasks that are easier to get him out of the way, have the girls round for some chic flicks and a sleepover, or head out for a spot of retail therapy and a fancy dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4471,"template":"","au_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-32457","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-hensparty"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=32457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
