let them have it whenever they want to have it, btw i might be careful of your husband around those strippers with lollipops... ENJOY!

Traditionally I believe it is held the night before but I think in recent years, too many brides have been horrified by husbands either getting into trouble, being hungover or worse drunk at the wedding, or just plain ol not showing up. Having the party at least a week or a few days ahead of time is the safest bet. This means all the men can go out and have a good time and still have time to recuperate if anything should happen.

I agree with mom and bride, who wants to be married to a drunk groom? If they're getting married on the 7th having the party on the 3rd sounds perfect. This way the guys can have all the fun they want and not have to worry about hurting anything!!

And as a guest I would hate to attend a wedding where I felt the occasion deserved that all the guest pull out the stops by buying new clothes and accesories, finding baby sitters, etc all to see a disrespectful groom puke at the alter!

Are you having a rehearsal the night before the wedding? I am a man and I have been to several bachelor parties, both as a friend of the groom and as the groom. Having a bachelor party the night before the wedding is a mucho bad idea.

My husband didn't have his bachelor party the night before. He had it on a Friday night a week in advance. I had my bridal shower the same night. I think it is best to have them in advance because you don't want the groom showing up to the wedding hung over, or still drunk depending on some parties.

I wouldn't EVER recommend having the bachelor party the night before!! Honestly. Given that the guys are all about staying out all night drinking (and getting the groom as drunk as is humanly possible!) - it could spell disaster for members of the bridal party AND the groom. No one wants to remember their wedding day as the worst hangover they ever had.

well it just depends on the couple, i just got married 2 weeks ago. i told them not night before, cause then all the groomsmen and the groom will be hung over and that isnt what you want on your wedding day is a headache and feeling like if you open your eyes you will throw up. If you think that the guys can control their intake of drinks then you could do it the night before. but if you are questionable due to the occasion then you should tell your husband to do it like the weekend before. that way it is done and over with and the night before is the rehersal dinner and all the family can sit and relax the night before and just eat and chat about everyone elses experiences.

well good luck and tell them congrats for me!

My fiance is having his bachelor party tomorrow for our marriage on sunday. More and more people are deciding to do them earlier so that the fiance is back in tip top shape before the crunch time of the wedding like the rehersal dinner, etc.

My brother threw me my bachelor party on the weekend before my big day. You don't want the whole wedding party all smashed and hung over through the wedding. Tell him to have it on the 3rd or on June 30th.

It depends on when is convenient, but I don't think it should be the night before the wedding. Do you really want a groom and groomsmen hung over in the wedding pictures?

Traditional yes. B/c it is suppose to symbolize the male's last night of being single. However, it todays society I would do it the weekend before. Just so everyone involved can recover and look fantastic in their photographs.
