A bachelor party in October or November will take place indoors. This calls for one location, more table space, game components that aren't weather-dependent, and a planned photo opportunity.
Most bachelor parties are planned in spring and held in summer. But weddings shift, schedules fill up, and a good number of parties end up in October or November. That's not a problem — it's just a different kind of party.
An afternoon in the park with a barbecue, an outdoor photo opportunity, and a group walking from location to location: that works in July. In autumn, you'll be waiting for a taxi in the rain with twelve people. If you're planning a bachelor party for the coming months, adjust the program to what the weather allows. This article goes over what changes and what you'll need for it.
One location instead of a route
The biggest difference lies in the structure of the day. A summer party can consist of four parts in four different places. In autumn, that becomes a string of putting coats on, taking coats off, wet shoes, and a group that falls apart.
Therefore, choose one main location — usually someone's house or a rented space — and build the day around it. Perhaps one excursion in between, but with clear departure and return times. This also means you need to seriously decorate that one space, because the group will be there all day.
Two things that have the most effect for the least money: lighting and a clear place for drinks. LED Balloons, 5 pieces cost €2.95 and give a room where the curtains can already be closed at five o'clock atmosphere without having to hang anything. With Barrier Tape with Funny Text, 25 meters for €2.95, you can mark which areas are part of the party and which are not in two minutes — handy if you're at someone's house.
Indoors means: more table, less walking
If the group is indoors all day, the focus shifts to the table. That's where eating, drinking, playing, and talking happen. Also, expect more drinking than at a party where you walk around in between, so make sure you have enough glassware.
The Shot Glass Set of 6 pieces, 60 ml costs €3.00; for a group of twelve, buy two or three so you don't have to wash up halfway through. For decorating the drinks themselves, small items work best because they fit on any glass:
If you're drinking from cans, the Penis Suction Cup for Can, glow in the dark for €14.95 is practical: everyone knows which can is whose, which saves on waste during a long day indoors.
A program that doesn't depend on the weather
Outdoor activities cannot be planned in autumn. Replace them with items that fit at a table and that you can divide into blocks of twenty to thirty minutes. This keeps the day moving without being dependent on a rain shower.
The activity that was a barbecue in the summer usually becomes cooking or baking together indoors. This works well as a group activity: it naturally takes an hour, everyone has something to do, and food is produced.
A sash or tiara that has to be worn all day becomes annoying faster in a warm indoor space than outdoors. Therefore, choose something light that the guest of honor can easily take on and off. The Penis Tiara Pink with 2 Penises costs €4.95 and the Tiara Penis with Rings €9.95.
For the rest of the group, buttons work better than headwear: they're on your sweater, you forget you're wearing them, and they go outside under a jacket. Bachelorette Party Buttons, 6 pieces cost €4.95. If you do go outside briefly, Neon Gloves in 4 colors for €5.95 have a dual function: warm and recognizable in the dark.
If you're going to a venue or concert with the group, many locations require a clear bag. The Small Clear Festival Bag for €19.95 covers that — always check the venue's own rules beforehand, as they vary per venue.
A moment that yields photos
At a summer party, photos happen naturally because there's light. Indoors in November, you need to plan one moment when everyone stands together. A Confetti Cannon Hearts 38 cm for €4.00 is the simplest tool for this: you set up the group, count down, and you have your photo. Buy two, because the first often goes off too early. If you want something bigger in the picture, the XL balloon, penis, approx. 44.5 x 74 cm for €4.95 serves as a background. Be mindful of cleanup: confetti in a carpet is not easy to remove, so do it on a hard floor or put a sheet underneath.
Ordering and compiling
Everything for the day itself is together in the Bachelor Party collection. For room decorations, look in Party Supplies, for your table in Glasses, and for game components in Erotic Games.
