Prince Harry and his buddies are planning a wild stag party in South Africa before Prince William plunges into wedlock in April. Here's a tell-all guide to organise the last night of drunken revelry marked by singledom

They call it a bachelor party in New York, a stag do in London, and Buck's Night in Sydney. Indians don't have a term for it, yet. It's one of those Western concepts we've borrowed because we can't have enough of wedding celebrations. As if the sangeet, mehendi, cocktail, reception weren't enough, organising a bachelor party has become de rigueur.


Prince Harry plans to throw a stag party for Prince William in South Africa.
The African continent seems to be a favourite with the two princes, who
were in South Africa last June on their first joint royal duties overseas.
Prince William proposed to his fianc ufffd Kate Middleton, while the two were
holidaying in Kenya


A bachelor party is supposed to be hosted by a groom's best man or close friends. The guest list should include close confidantes only. You don't want random acquaintances dropping by. Make sure you consult the groom on who to keep out. A surprise bachelor party sounds like a great idea, but it's way too risky.

There are three keywords to a bachelor party -- booze (keep it flowing), games (anything from poker to cricket) and, uhm, strippers. Let's deal with the last one first. Understand that strippers at a party are illegal! But the absence of a stripper does not mean you start taking off your own clothes once you are drunk.

Go ahead, and play Sheila Ki Jawani, but leave behind the pelvic thrusts. To entertain guests, you could hire a projector and play movies. We leave it upto you to choose the genre of movies you want to play but we suggest keeping a copy of Andaz Apna Apna handy. You never know when some Chachaji decides to check on the boys at the party.

And when the crowd is tired of watching films, switch to games. Drinking games are a favourite, and so are those that reveal intimate, embarrassing details about the groom.

Bachelor parties are also associated with poker. If you don't know how to go about it, get the guys at https://www.pokerplanet.in/ to help you learn the real deal. While you are at it, get hold of some Cuban cigars.
Lastly, the chaotic madness from Hangover, the bachelor-party-gone-wrong movie, is still fresh in our minds.

So even if you are allowed to drink irresponsibly, make sure there's a sober driver around to drop everyone back home.

Get naughty (at your own risk)
>> Bottle up some wicked gifts in a jar with the help of gift planners.

>> We'd suggest a few places that could bake you remarkable cakes, but that's got us in trouble before, so go online and look them up yourself.

>> Head to the groom's favourite nightclub ufffd the entertainment will be taken care of, and you won't have the hassle of cleaning up after.

>> Get out of the country ufffd think of an exotic destination ufffd if you can afford it. If you can't go to Las Vegas, try Goa.
