Fun activities for bachelor parties
If you are responsible for planning your friend or family member's bachelor party, you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders. After all, it's not just any celebration, it's the celebration of a big milestone! But don't worry, we won't leave you without some brilliant stag ideas to spice up the night.
What do you think of the stereotypical bachelor sex activities? We say they're getting a little overused! There are so many other things you can do, and not all of them have to involve drinking until you drop and hitting a strip club. Of course, we have nothing against the classics in themselves! But you can be a little more creative than that, right?
To arrange an incredible bachelor party, you need to do one thing: pay attention to the interests of the groom-to-be. Will he have the biggest party of his life on a full-scale bachelor party adventure weekend? Or does he prefer a more relaxed bachelor party at home? Maybe he has some dreams that you can fulfill instead? If you can't think of anything right away, you can be inspired by our suggestions!

Bachelor proposal for Party animals
Maybe the bachelor is keen to enjoy craft beer, go out clubbing or experience a whole new level of partying? We have some unique stag party suggestions so you can satisfy all your celebration needs without getting stuck in boring schedules!
1. Party on the water
Get ready to sip cocktails on a luxury yacht, play music on deck and let everyone on the beach know that your best friend is getting married! If you are planning a bachelor party in Stockholm, the lake is filled with boats ready to host your party.
2. Take a party bus for a ride
Sitting in an enclosed space with music blaring so loud you can barely hear your thoughts may not be everyone's cup of tea, but a real party person will love a bachelorette party on a bus!
Visit a brewery
How about a festive and stylish bachelor party? If the groom likes a good pint and new experiences, why not organise a craft beer tasting! Local breweries will be more than happy to let you sample their range of beers. You can even arrange a brewery tour with a bunch of them. That way, the groom will be able to discover some new favourites!
4. Throw a pool party
Add a touch of luxury to the stag party! There is no better way to jump right into married life than jumping into a pool. Extra points if you get him custom swim trunks or have everyone wear matching swim trunks for the bachelor party. Personalized T-shirts are out, and custom swimwear is in!
5. Visit a themed bar
How about a golf bar, like Signal by Golfbaren in Stockholm?
Regular bars are fine, but if you want to make the celebration really memorable, choose a different place! A themed bar makes the bachelor party more exciting.
Is your friend an aspiring rock star? Why not a private room at Golden Hits. Are they a board game enthusiast? Why not book a bar inspired by Monopoly? The possibilities are endless. The groom is sure to love the themed drinks and unique decor at whichever venue you choose!
6. Take a mixology class (and get drunk!)
You know what's better than just getting drunk? Doing so while learning a whole new skill! You can sign the guys up for a mixology class and learn how to make some delicious drinks. Hopefully, the groom will be able to impress his future partner with unique drinks in the future. A definite long-term benefit!
How about a bar or club that offers both drinks and activities? You can play and drink at Boulebar in Stockholm, go to Gothenburg for some Paintball or play Bubble Ball in Malmö. You won't have a hard time finding a venue that offers entertainment that the groom will enjoy, we promise!
Bachelor activities for the adventurous
Is the groom-to-be looking to boost his adrenaline levels? No problem! We've got tons of ideas for indoor and outdoor activities that the whole gang will love.
8. Have a guys' weekend in the wilderness
You heard right, we're going to the wilderness! Pack your backpacks and go camping or even book an ultimate survival experience. If the groom wants an adventurous event, he gets one! If you want to visit the forest without the extreme element, you can have a bachelor party surrounded by nature and wildlife!
9. Organise a field day
You either hated them or loved them back in school, but a stag field day is sure to be a favorite! Some of the best challenges you can include on the agenda are bubble ball, ax throwing, clay pigeon shooting and rock climbing, but the classics work just as well. Find out what everyone is capable of (especially if the stag party includes guests of different ages) and don't be afraid to go wild!
10. Escape from a room
Oh, the famous escape room! If the groom is ready to enjoy a thrill that is a little less physically demanding, renting a session at an escape room is the perfect choice. It's one of the best little bachelor party ideas; your group can work together to solve the puzzle and find a way out. Just let the groom take the credit for figuring out the final puzzle, even if you already know the answer!
11. Shoot some shots (safely)
Hey, we're not posting this because it's a stereotypically male activity!We're talking about a game of laser tag or paintball to let everyone use up all the remaining energy and frustration in a fun way. To add a perfect bachelorette party twist, you can have one team target the groom, while the other protects him. Just don't be too hard on the poor guy!
Bachelor suggestions for the player
Does the groom-to-be like to play some games? Perfect! Organizing a stag party with games is easy, just figure out what you want to do, collect the resources and press play!
15. Board and Card Game Evening
Just grab the groom's favorite titles, find a cozy spot, and order some drinks and snacks! It's an affordable and stress-free way to make a stag party at home memorable. Just make sure it's not too subdued for the groom! An easy way to make this game night stand out is to get a custom game set, like a personalized Monopoly set.
16. Visit a retro-inspired arcade
Let the groom's inner child roam free among arcade games and retro consoles! A bachelorette party at an arcade is the way back in time before you send your mate off into married life. One rule though – any winnings you get should go to him! You can even rent a venue just for yourselves to make sure no one blocks the groom's favourite machine.
17. Solve a murder mystery
The groom has honed his deduction skills through all these computer games, so now it's time to put them to the test! Murder mystery games are a guarantee of a good time and they are not even very difficult to set up, especially if you have a creative streak. And if you don't feel like going through all that effort, shame on you! Your friend deserves it! Just kidding, of course.
Final points
Organizing a bachelor party is a big responsibility, but nothing you can't handle! Keep the groom's preferences in focus and let yourself be inspired by our suggestions. To make it even easier for you, here is a quick checklist to keep in mind:
☑️ Groom's pleasure - Know his likes and dislikes! There's no need to throw a wild party if he's the quiet, low-key type. And forcing him to have fun doesn't magically turn him into a party animal!
☑️ Element of surprise – It's like a secret mission: the groom cannot know every detail of the celebration you have planned for him! Usually it's best for him to know as little as possible. Create a group conversation just for the other guests and do your best to hide any clues before the party starts!
☑️ Everyone's Abilities – The guests at a stag party are often a wild mix of ages, backgrounds and skills. Consider everyone's abilities when creating an agenda! Maybe avoid an exhausting hike if one of you has a broken leg, for example!
☑️ An ice breaker – It's likely that not everyone will know each other before the bachelor party and things can get a little awkward. That's why you need an icebreaker activity!
Are you ready to start planning? Your friend's wedding day is coming up, so don't hesitate! Choose the idea that he will like the most, add a personal touch and get started. A good bachelor party is the one organized by a good friend!
