Bachelor parties can range from super cheap to super expensive.  If a friend of yours owns a fleet of helicopters and your other buddy happens to be in an open relationship with 12 strippers then you pretty much can throw an amazing party for free.  For the rest of us, here’s some specific ideas for how to throw a cheap bachelor party.  Let’s be clear too: cheap bachelor party doesn’t mean low quality.  In fact, what we should call this is – where to spend a lot and where to spend a little on your bachelor party.  Also, because we’re focused on Atlantic City, some of the ideas will be specific to AC.



Things to Save Money On At A Bachelor Party

Transportation – limos and party buses are great – but basically you’re overpaying.  Now, we don’t mean that in all cases but in Atlantic City’s case – everything is pretty much next to each other and/or you’ll be able to do everything you ever wanted all within one of the great hotels.   Once you step inside the Borgata or Harrah’s (and some others) there is no need for transportation anywhere.   Also, limos and party buses mean you’re on a schedule.  This isn’t work time – this is fun time so being on a schedule shouldn’t be part of the plan.   Cabs can get you anywhere in AC quickly and are always waiting at the front door of the hotel.

Drinks – buying a bottle or many bottles for a VIP nightlife package may seem like a lot of money at first, but a little quick math proves this is the best idea you can have.  A drink at a good club can easily be 10 bucks.  Multiply that by how many every member of your party will drink that night and it can be very expensive.  Have you ever measured how many drinks you can get out of 1 bottle – lots!  So, buy a bottle – this is the saving money reason to do it – not to mention all the other perks of VIP.

 Girls – get a reputable provider who tells you all the costs up front and doesn’t have any hidden fees.  When you get a quote make sure that includes the stripper show and isn’t just a fee for them showing up to your place and if you want them to get naked it’s more money.  Yeah, that happens with many of the lower quality and shady providers that spring up in classified ad sites and yellow pages.

Planning – the more you plan the more you’ll know about where to go and what to do.   Is 250 bucks a night a good price for that hotel room?  You won’t know unless you compare a couple places and times – do your planning.  Also, the further you plan ahead of time the better.  Everything works on supply and demand and as it gets closer to your party the supply goes down, demand goes up and therefore price goes up.  The VIP that used to cost 300 is now 700 – it happens, book early and avoid it.



Things Not to Save Money On At A Bachelor Party

Same list as above – yeah, we think you should try and save money wherever you can.  However, don’t be an idiot and think you’re going to get everything for free or near it.  Extremely hot girls, or the most popular clubs, or the best hotels have 1,000 people just waiting to take your spot on their calendar.  The best thing you can do is work with us and plan and book early to make sure you’re getting the best deals

Anything for the Bachelor – he’s the reason you’re here, he’s the one on the way to get married.  Make sure everyone in the party knows that it’s their job to make sure the bachelor has a great time and in most cases doesn’t pay for anything.   Then, make sure he knows the same thing when it’s your turn to play bachelor.

Steak – eat a good steak if you’re going to make a steak dinner part of the festivities.  Don’t have a “formal” dinner if you aren’t going to splurge on the best steak you can find.

There you have it, some good things to think about when you’re trying to figure out how to save money at a bachelor party.   The best thing for you is that you’re looking into an Atlantic City Bachelor Party which means you’re in the right spot for a great time and not being too expensive.  Contact us and we’ll work out the rest.

Take a good look just above the high heel of any good stripper and you’ll see one of the most important parts of their outfit – the huge wad of cash rubber banded to their ankle.   After years and years of painstaking research we’ve learned something very valuable: tips make strippers happy.     We’ve also learned that, the happier the stripper the better the bachelor party.

The right way to tip is different whether you’re having the party in a strip club or having the strippers come to you (which is the method we much more highly recommend).   So, let’s talk about the best way to tip your Atlantic City Strippers.

First things first – make sure everyone at the party knows that they should be tipping the girls.  Also, if you’re an incredibly smart best man you’ll also make sure that you stopped at the bank before the party and load up on dollar bills that you’ll trade to the guys in the party.

Secondly, you don’t want to just throw all your money out all at once.  Let the girls get warmed up, start dishing out the dollars a little bit after they get started and make sure that between you and the rest of the guys you keep peppering the girls with bills for as long as you can.   If the girls see that 1) you’re throwing money out little by little and 2) that there’s a nice wad of bills in your hand they’ll keep going for a longer period of time.  

There’s also plenty of creative ways to tip so make sure to work with your girls to come up with the most interesting.  There’s always the frontal squeeze where you hold the bill in your mouth and the girl squeezes her boobs together to get it.  Don’t forget about the sticky wicky where you lay down with a bill on your mouth and a girl has to find something wet to sit on you with and take it off your mouth (wash your face after the show).   Have a contest with the guys to see who can come up with the best way.

If you get girls that are fun enough (and that’s the type of bachelor party stripper we specialize in so contact us) you’ll also have the chance to play lots of fun games like hide the lollipop or whip cream races.  If you really want to have some fun, set up a tournament board and work with us on our “special games”.

Remember, the happier the stripper – the happier you’ll be.  So, contact us and book your in-room Atlantic City Strippers for the best entertainment you could get.

When you work with a company like ours, you can be sure you’re getting the best possible pricing for everything you could want in Atlantic City.  That being said in our experience we know that being the one that’s organizing the bachelor party means that you have to put up with a bunch of guys that are going to be asking you about the package cost all the time. 

Here are a few tips as you come up with the cost you want to charge each of the guys coming to the bachelor party.

• Give them a ballpark price early so they can start putting away money and give you a level of commitment, tell them it’s just a ballpark and will be refined as time goes on.
• Tell them that the pricing changes based on the number of guys coming so the more they commit to whether they’re coming or not, the better you can estimate costs.
• Make sure the groom/bachelor knows nothing about what the party costs – he’s the reason you’re all going so he should go for free
• Make sure the bachelor/groom’s cost is split between everyone else
• Work with us to get one complete price, in a bachelor party package, for whatever you want to do
• Collect as much money as you can early
• Collect and ask for a bit more than you think you need because it’s good to have a buffer – if you’ve collected too much give it back to the guys right before the strippers walk in so they can use it for tips or drinks later on.

We know pricing out a bachelor party sucks and it sucks more when you have 12 guys asking you a bunch of questions about it.  Use the tips above to help make it suck a little less.

In this post we’ll help you save money by looking at your bachelor party package budget and one of the main areas that drives the overall cost – the place to stay.  Don’t worry, we think where you stay can be important, so we won’t just say stay at the crappiest place you can find – 10 miles outside of town.

Instead, here are 4 ways to save money on your overall bachelor party package costs:

Timing – saving money is all about timing.  Want to do it in the middle of summer or a holiday – expect to pay more.  Instead, focus on off-season times and when there are fewer crowds.  In Atlantic City you can always find great hotel and casino room rates but winter is when some of the best rates get released. 

Discounts – Anybody in your group from the military, anyone in Triple A, anyone have comps?  Make sure to check with the entire group that may be going to the bachelor party before you go to book the rooms.   Don’t forget to look for group rates or the group planning office too if you’re gonna need more than 3-4 rooms.

Calling – We think online hotel reservation sites are amazing (see next list item), but if you did find some discounts within the group, or you’re a very smooth talker, try giving an actual call to the property you want to stay at.  You’ll be able to get more firsthand info. on other ways to save for your trip, what weekends might be cheaper, or just use your charm to convince the agent on the phone to lower your rate.

Online – check everywhere online.  The hotel or casino websites are a good place to start but don’t forget about the specialty sites like Expedia or Kayak.   After you’ve checked those and have a good idea – head over to Priceline or some of the other hotel room discounters to see if you could score even cheaper rates.

Those are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to saving money on rooms for your AC Bachelor Party.  The best way to make sure you’re going to save the most money is to keep doing your homework and looking and then when you think you’ve found a good deal – lock it in.
