THE UNITY OF B - A - G
The second part of The Body Bag Method is The Unity of B.A.G., or:
B – Babes
A – Alcohol
G – Grub
You would think that the interrelation between these three items in regards to a bachelor party would be self-evident and to elaborate any further would be a waste of breath. Au contraire, mon freire! This subject is a little more complicated than it would seem. In order to ease of your planning and to make sure that the party stays on track, I recommend that you have a unity of at least two of these in play at all times during the party – and preferably all three. What do I mean by this? Basically, I mean that you want to try and choose destinations and/or locations for your party where you have at least one of these combinations present:
Babes, Alcohol, and Grub
- or just -
Babes and Alcohol
- or just -
Babes and Grub
- or just -
Alcohol and Grub
As we saw in the example above, there are inherent pitfalls involved when you choose locations that are too far apart. You should never make a plan that involves more than a five to ten minute limo ride away – even in traffic. If you do, you end up spending more time in transit than you do in actual party mode. This is the very reason why locations like Las Vegas or New Orleans are such popular destinations for bachelor parties. They have a supply of all three of these bachelor party staples in surplus, and usually within walking distance of each other. This makes your role of being a bachelor party planner absurdly easy.
You can also find a Unity of B.A.G. by throwing the party yourself at a rented vacation house or a hotel room. This actually is the perfect example, due to the fact that you can easily arrange for all three things to be brought to you instead of having to go out to get it. You can call a caterer for the food, you can purchase all the booze you’ll need (usually for a lot less), and you can hire a stripper to come right to your door. You can make it so that all of the most basic of bachelor party needs are well within your reach and under one roof.
The job of planning a bachelor party doesn’t have to be an arduous and painful task. The B.O.D.Y. B.A.G. Method, when used in conjunction with the other how-to articles on this site and The Doomed Groom’s Bachelor Supply Shop, will make everyone believe that you had to work like a crazy man to organize everything and that you are actually one incredibly smart cookie. They’ll never be aware of how little effort you had to actually put into it, leaving you with the satisfaction of knowing that the only idiot there that night…
Is the one getting married.
