When people say bachelor party, they normally think it involves
strip clubs and naked girls in Victoria Island. However, it’s still
possible to have decent fun amongst a group of men without strippers and a
night of debauchery. In situations where the groom actually has no wish to
have a “conventional” bachelor party, it will be worthwhile to bond over
activities that involve a bit of adrenalin and also a bit of relaxation.
Your Bachelor party can start in the day so you’ll have a full day of your
last hurrah as a single man with the guys.
Here are some stripper-free bachelor party ideas to consider:
Road Trip
Pack up some food and hit the road to a neighbouring country like Benin
Republic or Togo with lots of tourist attractions and activities. Hire a
driver and maybe a tour guide to take you around the city and also so that
you focus on having a good time with your guys.
Games Night
The ultimate chance to declare who the champ is in a game of ludo,
scrabble, poker or WHOT! Better yet, there can be a games line-up
throughout the night along with some finger food and drinks.
Football
It’s time to show your Drogba skills in a competitive game of 5 –a-side
football. Be creative and form two teams complete with different colour
jerseys or shirts with each person’s nickname inscribed on it. Finish the
day off with a finger-licking barbeque and some refreshing drinks.
Golf
This can only be pulled off if the groom and some of the groomsmen already
play golf. It’s a mature sport and one’s love for it can only deepen like
fine wine. Golf actually involves a lot of technique so get ready for this
one!
Beach Trip and Camping
This could be a peaceful getaway, away from the woes of the city. Ilashe
and Inagbe beach resorts have accommodation and are conveniently situated a
25 minute boat ride out of town. Music, beach buggies, jet skis and food
are all the guys should need. You can even skip the beach house for some
primal fun instead- camp out with the guys instead. Grill some suya and set
up tents. You and the boys won’t forget this experience in a hurry.
Sports Night
Get together to watch a game at the groom’s favourite sports bar or at home
while everyone is wearing their club’s jerseys. What sport are you and your
buddies into - football, basketball, rugby or tennis?
Trampolining or Paintballing
Interested in being a big kid? Let out your inner Agbaya and go on
a trampolining spree to feel light- headed in a fun way, and burn some
calories while you are at it. Or be action heroes for a day and go
paintballing. Remember how fun Police and Thief was as a kid? The game is
all grown up, complete with gear and ammo.
Try a combination of these activities and incorporate them into the
ultimate bachelor party weekend to really have fun, stripper-free style!
