I\u2019m going to leave the obvious connotations to this question unanswered and instead focus on how to spoil the bachelor himself.\u00a0 Going on a bachelor party is literally the closest thing to having your 5th<\/sup> birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese\u2019s.\u00a0 It\u2019s supposed to be a magical day where extravagant food is ushered to you by oddly dressed characters at any moment\u2019s notice and for no good reason at all.\u00a0 Did you have to pay for your pizza?\u00a0 Heck no.\u00a0 Those quarters for the arcade machine surely won\u2019t from you sweating your brow while meticulously doing the dishes that one time for your allowance.\u00a0 So your buddy\u2019s bachelor party should be no different.\u00a0 He shouldn\u2019t have to pay for a thing, but does that mean you have go broke so he can have a good time?\u00a0 Not a chance.<\/p>\n

Assuming your friend isn\u2019t a recluse loner with a single human friend (you) and a myriad of action figures, there will most likely be a slew of other underlings willing on debauchery at every turn.\u00a0 While some will call those guys \u201cfriends\u201d or \u201cbuddies\u201d or \u201ccompadres\u201d, I like to call those guys \u201cfractions.\u201d\u00a0 They pay their own way and help you pick up the tab for your real friend, the guest of honor and bachelor.\u00a0 Bar tab is $200 and there are 11 of you, of course your buddy doesn\u2019t pay, he\u2019s the bachelor, divide that piece by 10 and get $20 per person.\u00a0 Dinner was $500, collect $50 per person.\u00a0 Hotel room was $1000 for the weekend, get $100 per person.\u00a0 By now you\u2019re starting to see I can divide by 10.\u00a0 The initial number that popped in my head was 13 but there wasn\u2019t a calculator around and I don\u2019t have enough toes to do that math.<\/p>\n

Boiled down to a simple truth, your buddy shouldn\u2019t have to pay for a thing for his special day, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to pick up the tab alone.\u00a0 Just make sure there are enough fractions there with you.\u00a0 And try and get that number to 10.\u00a0 Anything else will be difficult to divide by. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
