Alright, so I got this problem that I need some suggestions from people out of the "circle" so to speak. My boy is getting married. Originally he was getting married at home/here LOCALLY. Well him and his fiance got this crazy idea to get married in Hawaii. So they are and we were asked to go if we wanted to. So most of his close guy friends (8 out of us) coughed up our own money for this hawaii trip/wedding. As you know the prices went up to Hawaii because of ATA airlines. So our tickets cost us $800 another $200 for hotel and whatever cost is going to accrue when we are there for food and activities.
My problem is, I asked the 8 of us if we could get some bachelor party going for him, because that's tradtition. But they all said that the Hawaii trip was enough money to be coughed up. I feel really bad, and want to do this. My friend that is getting married is even asking me if we are gonna do one. I feel forced to cover any charges now for this bachelor party if no one can help me out. So basically I would come out even more money on top of this. Basically I know after everything is said and done this trip/bachelor party will run me $2500. Doesn't seem like a lot, but when you have other prioties, car payment, bills, etc.....funds are tight at the moment.
So I ask you guys. What would you do? Is the trip enough? Should I get a bachelor party no matter what?
Thanks for any advice. [ June 04, 2008, 03:39 PM: Message edited by: Venomized93 ]

Just hit a club while down there and let the night be as it may. I wouldnt bust for a full fledged party tho. Maybe a night of kicking it, get drunk and act a nut. Hell in the end you may be saving his relationship down the path by doing something conservative yet fun.

You can get a dancer at the hotel for cheap under $500, buy some beer toss it in an ice chest and have at it. You dont need to spend big money to have fun just make sure he gets tossed.

You can alway's have the party before You go to hawaii & that way the people that can't afford to go to hawaii can join in with the fun and expence of the party.

Fuck that...we didn't even go to our friends wedding because it was in Hawaii. They WERE close friends too, actually the bride was my wifes maid of honor. But I'm not about to pay $100's of dollars for that shit and I don't care who the fuck you are. Granted the time of there wedding we could barley make rent and were just 1 year and a half into our own married life. You want me to go bad enough you pay for my ass. You want a bachalor party on top that shit??! Ahahahahahahahahhaahha here is five bucks, go get a blowjob in the city.

I say for a dude getting wrapped up like that a bachelor party would be a bare minimum.
You can get a stripper to come thru for like $~250. How far you want to go determines the final bill.
Get the dude as shitfaced as possible so even if the stripper sucks because people ain't coughing up bills he won't even remember.

Yeah, Im the best man. That's why Im here asking because like I mentioned. We all dropped out of our own money $1k for his wedding to get there. Not including the money that we need to spend there. Im all for the bachelor party, but the other 7 that are going are somewhat saying "no more money". So Im trying to get opinions if I should just do it myself with my own money, since no one wants to fork over some to help out.
Im also, somewhat tight with funds at the moment. But have back up, if absolutely necessary. CREDIT CARD, lol. [ June 04, 2008, 10:43 PM: Message edited by: Venomized93 ]

See that's the other problem too, there are other friends that we have that can't make it to HAWAII because of expenses/time availaible. So I would like to do it here for that reason. I would like to get them to fork over the some money too. We leave 1st week of JULY. So I'm brainstorming on how/what we can do.

Not sure where you guys are from, but you can just have a quick weekend thing out in the city. Get yourself a hotel (probably like $250 a night) and go Broadway or something. Get fucked up one day...then go strip club hopping the next. I know its not much, but if you guys all stay at a hotel, it'll feel like you're actually out of town on vacation somewhere....
Most spots on Broadway are free (bars) and the strip clubs have some deal where you pay for one and get access to like 2 or three other ones.
Good luck and have fun
