Top 10 Bucks Party Ideas

Well, well, well… another buddy bites the engagement dust and here you are scoping out cool Bucks Party ideas to throw the pinnacle of all Bachelor parties.

Strap yourself in mate. It’s time to simultaneously shift both your hedonism and decorum from first gear into fifth. You have a delicate balancing act of spoiling the Groom, roasting the Groom and pleasing all da boiz, whilst clawing it out the other end semi-unscathed.

This is a tradition you do not want to kook on. Seriously… bucks parties are a tradition rooted in ancient history. Dating back as far as 5th Century BC, Spartans were the OG lads to first honour a groom’s last night as an unmarried man. Although, we sense “good form” for bachelor parties back then were a little less wild and a little more (or a lot more) polite.

But as much as us 21st Century folk idolise a notorious party to rival The Hangover, in reality you only want to lose a few inhibitions, not the Groom.  

Remember, this isn’t about being a bad (and misogynistic) 80s sex movie.

Yet we can’t all have Jon Olsson’s legendary father-in-law and mates as a logistical brain trust, the luck of being in the right place and right time with Bill Murray’s spontaneity, the #sponcon deals of Nick Jonas, nor the allowance of Prince Harry. 

So listen up all you wannabe Tiger Woods,  this is how you can come close to par.

Gliding through an unforgettable “last night of freedom” – minus the next day headaches, anxiety, regrets and/or felonies – has never been smoother.

Here are the top 10 best bucks party ideas for an unforgettable Bachelor party.

1. Whisky is a win

dylan-de-jonge

Sometimes the Groom-to-be would rather be sipping on a dram of rare whisky, than smashing down tequila shots. Lean into the refined route and round up each lad to bring along their finest bottle of choice. Stack up the options, and have a personal bartender serve up the tasteful mouthfuls and the tasteful chat. 

2. Surprise boat party

They’ve been immortalized in film, music, books and popular culture.. just think of Lonely Island’s “I’m on a Boat”. Boats are clearly a classic party space and a clear winner for a cool bucks party idea. Nothing rocks the boat like your favourite mates soaking up the sun, whilst sipping on your favourite frothies, skimming across the water past land dwellers. Ya get wet, ya go wild, it’s simple math.

But these things are more fun when the Groom (or even some of the guests) don’t know the full schedule of play. So spice it up and ensure the Bucks crew don’t know at all until they rock up to the marina. Ideally you go large too… because when you combine surprise with boats you want a superyacht not a dingy. 

Nicholas Frankl, three-time winter Olympian and owner of luxury events company My Yacht Group, has been hosting the most exclusive Grand Prix parties aboard superyachts for the last twelve years. His simple advice? “Make sure your Perrier-Jouët champagne is first class – cold and chilled – and that the caviar is ready upon arrival.”

3. Place your bets

Competition, friendly or not, is a no brainer. Take the rivalry to a VIP Poker room, a private basketball court,  a world-renowned golf course, a shooting range, or an entire games arcade. Place your bets and let the games begin. Our only suggestion? Make sure you hire a cool scorekeeper to keep it fair. 

4. Playtime

There’s truth in toys get the boys because we all love a kick of adrenaline.

Think a high speed race track with luxe cars, wave jumping on jet skis on the Gold Coast, motorcross bike riding in the outback, cruising a yacht in Sydney Harbour, surfing uncrowded waves down the coast or battling it out in a Melbourne virtual reality centre. 

Keep tabs on who is winning what… then allocate the shots accordingly.

5. Fancy dress

This isn’t one just for the ladies… and interpret how you will: either dress up in costume or dress like your Bond.. yes James bloody Bond.

Prepare a dare, a costume or something to compliment the Groom’s birthday suit. Weave in a little (or a lot) of bearable humiliation for the Groom. Key word being  bearable. … but then be sure to have an appropriate outfit change for the continuation of celebrations. You don’t want the night cut short because of an inadvertent nut slip.

Otherwise, stick to the tux and go luxe.

6. Fuel fun

The mode of transport is more key than DJ Khaled and relies on a correlation with the size of the Groom’s (no, not that)… entourage and, probably, ego.

Charter a private jet or a helicopter, try hiring the entire fleet of Porsche 911s on offer at Cliff To Coast or hire a hummer or a convoy of classic Pontiacs / Aston Martins / Mustangs and Chevrolets. Riding around together keeps the group morale flying high (sometimes literally if you’re in the private jet option). 

7. Get outta town

… or go into town.

Secure a Bachelor pad for the night.. or weekend.. or week.

Does the Groom prefer penthouses, lake houses, beach houses, beach shacks, chateaus, chalets or a camping ground? Obviously international travel is looking limited for the moment, but can you travel interstate or downtown? Whatever you do, move the laddish antics away from your home, the Groom’s home, and any of the guests’ homes. Bucks night debauchery (even if that’s just a helluva lot of glass to clean up from whisky tasting) is not for your casa.

8. Bring luxury to the table

You want excellence in quality and service. It can manifest in the choice of poison, the transport, the venue, or the steak (eating is not cheating if you’re running a marathon). Come to think of it, food is really where it’s at. Find a Chef’s Table or book private catering in along with some black tie waitresses to dose up the opulence. 

9. Ladies

Whether the Groom is a “gentleman” or an absolute “lad”, sometimes you just need to balance out the testosterone. We’re not even saying get a stripper… because if tv and movies have taught us anything… that often fails.

So how about a topless waitress, an elegant host, a group of atmosphere models or a bartender? You’ll get class and charisma. Just no touching please.  

10. Sinful selfcare

Selfcare seems to be the buzz word of 2020. And ya know what? We’re here for it. Sometimes the lads need some serious rnr. Go tee up some (above board) massages, pedicures, yoga, classical or acoustic musician to bring on the chill vibes before the hectic big day.  Of course if we’re all about balance then you’ll need to balance all that out with a few delicate sins… like Cuban cigars or fine wine. Surely we have some yoga teacher talent in our mix… or even just a model who gives a great head massage whilst making a solid negroni. Have a look 😉

Now you wouldn’t think we’d just load you up on a bunch of unique bucks party ideas without a word of warning did you? So here comes our 2 cents of unsolicited advice… document the night if you wish, but some things are best left in memory… or as from Sid from The Hangover wisely advised: “Remember what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except for herpes. That sh*t’ll come back with you.”

We truly wish you good luck. Send it!

What do Promo Staff do and how can I hire them?

Sometimes you hear friends along the grapevine talking about how much fun they have doing promo work. Sometimes you hear from successful business peers about how much promo staff were great for their brand. And sometimes you have no idea what-the-f promo staff actually do. We’re guessing, you’re here because you’d like to be let into the promotional staff club. To be honest, us too… What do Promo staff actually do?

How do we do promo?

This?…

Seriously, anyone got any idea?

Pour yourself a vino and let’s work this one out together.

Jks, we got a clue cus we’re in this game… but pull up a chair and that vino none-the-less.

It’s not an age old question, but it sure gives “What would Jesus do” a run for its money.

Whether you’re considering being a promo model as an avenue (or basically street party) for making some extra cash… because let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to be paid for having a good time… or, if you want to elevate your business brand (or name, should you be an influencer) and hire promo staff, here’s what promo staff do and why they’re so valued.

Read on amigos.

In a nutshell, promo staff make other people feel good. You know, all the gooey happy feels. Not love, but just some super stoke happy vibes.

Promo staff read the crowd, then make it their mission to talk and elevate the mood of every possible person in the room… or on the street… or whatever space they’re allocated. They’re not afraid to talk to strangers and, in fact, could probably chat up a brick wall.

Promo staff jobs often include being required at events – hiring promo staff to promote a brand directly with guests is a great networking tool as it grows connections and helps people to recognise the brand name, the business logo and the person in front of the company. I mean, who wouldn’t remember a logo on some beautiful, beaming human oozing the happiest and charismatic personality?

Functions get busy, especially when you’re the host. So promo models at function help leave the stress behind for the host, so the host can enjoy their time as much as the promo staff. Good promo staff help a brand or host forget they’re worries.

They also hear what people think of the brand or business, tactfully.. then will give that feedback and any recommendations to the brand. They’re a conduit between the brand and people.

Essentially, they do whatever activities it takes to get a brand noticed.

Promo staff jobs may involve: talking to strangers on the streets, handing out gift bags, greeting guests front of house at an event, mingling, showing people how a product works, making products lewk good, lewking good whilst making food.

Promotional staff are a total mood. And they make people want a taste of that mood.

Finally… Promo staff also know how to do one very imperative thing.. party whilst keeping it together (often, even booze-free).

They engage with people to deliver a unique, emotional and memorable experience.

They ensure people leave with a smile.. and maybe a cheers.

In the words of Will Ferrell from Blades of Glory… or Jay Z and Kanye’s “Ni**as in Paris” (whichever way you wanna look at it)… they get the people going.

Wanna do that… or get people that do that? We know a place

Ideas for Your Next Private Party

You know who we lowkey admire? The Royals. Hear us out on this…

Because surely they know how to party behind closed doors. They’re forever composed in public.. But do you know what else they are? Smug on a Sunday at Church. Because no doubt they’ve had a debaucherous Saturday night in the privacy of their own homes.

Afterall, what can be more satisfyingly smug and a subtle flex than coming up with, and flawlessly executing, unique private party ideas that leave your closest friends munching on some memberberries for months, if not years after they are done? The private parties that go down in history, but are kept on a “if you know you know” basis. You know the ones that – if there is photographic evidence – Facebook / Instagram memories remind you of down the track. Or even the ones that get triggered in the “remember that time” style of conversations? Like that time this author held a 200 person 90s party and the next day noticed that the doors were missing #truestory. Who needs doors anyway right? 

Well actually, it’s probably to keep gatecrashers and the rona outside of your home.

Unless you’ve been in the Big Brother house, we’re clearly very aware that iso has changed the partying game (#stayhome), so you will need to get creative with your next private party.

Pysch!… we’ve done all the creative thinking for you, obviously.

Buckle in and get your private party planning ready, because:
a) you have the time, and,
b) we have the juice on ideas for your next private party.

We won’t be isolated forever, so when things return to (somewhat) normal and we can high-five (or kiss) whomever we please, we are going to need to celebrate the fact that we can, well, celebrate.

Read on for our private party ideas on how you can party remotely (but still exclusively with your clique) in the best interests of everyone right now, and how to start planning for when this whole rona mess is over and done with (currently cueing that 200person 90s reunion party and unhinging my doors in preparation). 

Netflix Party

Fear not, you can still throw a modern movie marathon for your film fanatic mates, thanks to the Chrome plugin ‘Netflix Party, ‘ which is completely free! You’ll get a party URL and group chat feature which allows for screenshots, emojis, and GIFs so you can still enjoy some running commentary with your very best crew. 

Hopefully you tackled cuffing season early, and cuffed yourself to a bae before iso came into effect, so you can Netflix Party… drop out of the URL and chill… then opt back into the Netflix Party… then chill. See what we’re getting at here? Load up on the popcorn, curate an iconic selection of movies and be safe. 

Virtual DJ Set

If movies are too wholesome, then take a cue from Flex Mami and throw a YUGE iso house party. JQBX is a free app that links to your Spotify so you can throw a club-esque rave, where you can mix in your own beats or simply share the bangers with your friends. The question is: is it a banger? Well, my friends, songs can be cheered or booed, and there is a chatroom, so the hit or sh*t debates can still rage with your virtual iso crew.

Ladies Night In

Ladies… what’s more liberating than burning the sweatpants we’ve been living in? To be honest, this could go in one of two directions: you can go all out and dress up in black tie (if you don’t know exactly what that means, we have you covered), or strip right down to the basics… like your Bonds basics. 

Make it virtual right now… tune your favourite girls into Zoom, let your hair down and your living room turned into a d floor. It’s a mature party option for the gals only, so anyone with a male partner / rona bae needs to send them off to the bed early. But if you take this IRL, when iso is over, be sure to bring in a few lads in their Bonds basics to bartend. Wink wink and cin cin ladies.

Yacht Raft Up 

Kids, it’s time to raft up or go home. Let’s be honest here, when you can finally get back on a boat, there’s no way you’re going home after what feels like a lifetime in iso. So I guess rafting up is the only option here. 

Shoot a message to your closest mates to organise their own yacht with a fun crew. Set a date. Set a location. Set yourself up for a ripper of a yacht raft up party. 

Then on set date, have each of your mates set sail to the destination on their respective boats, and raft up for an exclusive yacht party. No outside boaties welcome.

Private Boat Party

If a raft up is a little too dicey to organise – we get it, people flake – then keep it to your tightest pals and hire a private boat / yacht / superyacht. Bring a few DJ, models, topless bartenders, on board and cruise through the day (or night) with a trusted crew to get down and sea legs wobbly with. Make it a Wolf of Wall street or Kardashians-in-Capri-on-their-superyacht vibe.

Bring someone new party

We’ve all been a little couped up and socially distanced, so what better way to celebrate the end of that than by meeting some new people? The ‘bring someone new party’ is a great way to gather your core group of friends and task them all with bringing a plus one (that no-one knows) along to the private party. Usually, we’d say you can organise some icebreaker games to acclimatise the newbies into the group, but if you get on board the Partistaff bandwagon, we have some legit party animals who don’t need no babysitting.

Go forth and watch your friendship circle double in one epic night.!

Singles Only… +1

Now as much as we’re all for our friends and a big friendship circle, sometimes those long-term couples kinda put on a drain on the night. You just wanna be single and mingle, not talk about renovations and what breeder they’ve been looking into when they’re about to get a dog. So this is a mature party for the singles only. Round up all your single comrades, get them to bring a single +1 (or, cough cough, a Partistaff +1), then Bob’s your uncle… who won’t be there because Bob is married and there are no couples permitted.

Just be prepared for the raging hangover after this one.

 

You really don’t have to hit the town to have rager of a night. Hosting your own private party is the new Ibiza people! If we have learned one thing recently, it’s not to take the pleasure of our friend’s company for granted, so as long as you have an exclusive but solid gang, the setting for a good time (or a cleared living room for a d floor) and, let’s be real, some booze, you are in for a wild night. 

 

The Best Party Snacks and Appetiser Ideas

[ Disclaimer: If you came here thinking this is a blog post full of snacks to perve on, you’re on the wrong page… you need to be looking here. For the rest of you genuinely needing the lowdown on party snack ideas, carry on. ]

We’re the type of people who have eagle eyesight when it comes to food. You know the type… no sooner have their ears pricked up at the slightest mouth crunching, whose noses twitched at the faintest waft of basil, than their eyes have darted to a plate of bruschetta

Come to think of it… you’re probably one too. We’ve even developed a quiz for you to figure out if you’re the type:  

You’re at a party and you spot a party host wandering the crowds with one arm cocked up and intermittently stopping at each archipelago of cliques amongst the sea of party people, with a smile drawn across their face. A smile that could be quasi-fake (as they’re hiding the weight of what they carry) but they’re that experienced it looks oh so convincingly genuine. The party host utters a few words to the posse they’ve stopped at, who receive those beaming words with pure joy, glance down and their eyes light up. You know it in your bones, without even really seeing what the host is carrying, that they’re offering those people a delicious party appetiser.

Then next minute, you either:

  1. Make a beeline for the host; or,
  2. Wave the host down like an absolute maniac whose life depends on it. 

Did you answer 1? If yes, you’re the type.

Did you answer 2? If yes, you’re the type. 

Didn’t answer? Don’t kid yourself, you’re the type. 

It’s no doubt you’re the type, because it happens to everyone at every party. Because eating is not cheating. Because we’re secretly ravenous when we arrive at a good party. Because a party without food is a recipe for hell. 

But what’s worse than a party without cold, hot, finger food or plate food, and without McDonald’s in UberEats delivering distance? A party with food that’s not even worth the calories. A party where you finally get to see what the party hor d’oeuvres being carried around are and they turn out to be slices of cabana sitting atop Tasty cheese on Jatz crackers. Whilst these can be a guilty pleasure for some (FYI, not guilty over here), it’s a truly underwhelming choice of appetiser for the majority of guests at an event. 

If you’re hosting an event, it all comes down to treating people the way you like to be treated… with mouth-watering party snacks. 

So let’s elevate the party snack game people! Let’s deliver the best party appetisers around that you almost need additional waiters or party hosts as crowd management. Because when those hawk-eyes and aroma-sensitive noses detect food, it’s game on. 

Here are the top snacks for parties to match your best cocktails and bring your guests to the party snack intersection of Appetising Avenue and Binge-worthy Crescent.

Sausage Rolls

They need no introduction. Just make sure you forget the servo sausage rolls. We’re talking gourmet territory sausos.

Spring rolls

Keeping on a roll with the rolls, are you even at a party if there aren’t spring rolls being served? We think not. Definitely the most iconic Chinese appetiser in the 21st Century, make sure they’re extra crunchy.

Peking Duck Pancakes

Bless those Chinese! The richer cousin of Spring Rolls, Peking Duck Pancakes are just that little more delectable (although a little less universally loved due to vegetarians or vegans). Nonetheless this Chinese classic goes down faster than a ducks feet paddling to stay afloat.

Cheeseboard

Cheeseboards never go astray as the ultimate cold appetiser ideas for party… and they’re highly “Instagrammable”, if that’s your thing (which, let’s be honest, it is).  Whack out a few wheels of cheese on a cheeseboard, littered with muscatels or grapes, berries, quince paste, pates, nuts, prosciutto and the MVPs of crackers, and you’re set to win over anyone. Just keep the vegan cheese in mind too. They say less is more, but in the case of a smorgasboard of cheeses, more is more. There’s an art to the cheese board, and it’s an over-consumption style of art

Struggling to choose cheese?

The French know how to make a delicious fromage and the D’Affinois is the creme de la creme… literally it’s where the gooey, indulgence is at. There’s no going back. 

Jarlsburg is a smooth sailing cheese across the board for all guests. Mild in taste and safe for anyone that may be secretly cooking a bun in the oven. 

Castello Blue (even available from Aldi… of all places) is like crack. It’s also an easy blue for anyone to get addicted to. Careful, or you’ll devour it by yourself.   

Bega does a Heritage Reserve Vintage Cheddar which will bring sharp flavours with a crumbly texture – the perfect match.

A baked Camembert. 

Otherwise, just bring in the professionals to make one up for you. If you do the cheeseboard well, be prepared to find half the party hovering around the table it’s spread across.

Truffle Ricotta

Perfect for sharing, and tres fancy thanks to the truffle, Truffle Ricotta is a party in itself. So it deserves it’s own throne.. not on the Cheeseboard.

Arancini Balls

The only issue with Arancini Balls is deciding whether to take them whole… or in halves.

Taramasalata with Olive Bread

You’ll want as much of a mouthful as it is to say “taramasalata”.

Just be prepared to for the double dippers getting involved in the this heaven-for-tastebuds mix.

Cob loaf

Speaking of being prone to double dipping…

Whilst there have been many takes on the cob loaf, the classic spinach cob loaf is where it’s at when it comes to the top party snack ideas. This shit is so scrumptious it can cause fights (true story for this blog writer who has seen an intense verbal showdown erupt when the cob loaf wasn’t shared). So take it from us, it’s better for everyone if there’s at least two.

Lemon & Garlic Sicilian Olives

If we had a Sicilian Nonna, we’d be asking her to marinate this style of olives every damn day. The perfect accompaniment to wine whilst helping you ease up on the indulgence train (we once heard they apparently fill you up and prevent hangry bingeing?). They’re legitimately healthy so will counterbalance any of the other party appetisers.  You don’t even need to cook these babies… just go to your local deli and “molto bene”!

Zucchini Fritters

Inoffensive to all and with the right amount of moreish crunch. Zucchini fritters are friendly to vegos, equally loved by meat eaters, and easy to pop into mouths mess-free.

We also recommend over-catering with your snacks for parties. Firstly, because running out of party snacks is embarrassingly irritating (for everyone’s hangry stomachs). Secondly, because you’ll reap the hangover snack rewards the following day.

Party snack away friends!

Top Hens Party Ideas for your Hen’s Weekend

Best Hens Party Ideas

We’re calling it! There’s been an over-saturation of Bachelorette soirees that merge coordinated tiaras, glittering sashes and, let’s be frank, uninspiring nights out. Kitchen teas antiquated premise also insinuate ladies should be celebrating a lifetime of domestic duties… but not on our watch!

As Maid of Honour (or hello there to the controlling Bridezilla attempting to plan her own hens), you want to simultaneously ditch the tacky and bury the Tupperware “party” vibe. However, you do want to cook up the perfect recipe for a party. One that combines: a foundation of originality, a generous dose of tasteful inappropriateness, and a large ratio of cheeky fun.

Prepare to salivate ladies (and not just at the Chris Hemsworth-y abs of steel). Here are the best Hens Party Ideas that’ll turn any Bridezilla into a humble Hen.

Nudity… but make it art

Scrap the stripper and still get the Full Monty – with class and creative output – through a life drawing class that will find the Frida Khalo in all of us. Whilst it’s an intriguing practice in mindfulness and understanding the masculine form, we guarantee you will get a few ladies lacking artistic flair and going wild with drawing stick figures (with big packages). Let’s be real, it’s because they’re too busy perving on the subject. There’s always one!

Acro yoga

A Bride’s most important asset for her wedding day is her diamond ring.

Ahem, we mean health. So eliminate any pre-wedding jitters with a Hens activity that lifts the Bride’s mood, and her body.

The whole Hens group can get upside down and stretched into complete zen together (as well as help the bride be at peak flexibility for the honeymoon), which makes it the perfect group activity.

Bottom’s up!

No, not your rear ends.

Bottom’s up to the bottomless brunch.

We’re here for brunch, and probably staying very much put. Perfect for the bride who wants to kick off festivities a little earlier, and embrace the continuous flow of Mimosas (and probably a highly humorous decline into inebriation).

Host it at home, and our bartenders will keep those Mimosa’s topped up so all you’ll need to worry about is the smashed avo.

Ladies who Lunch

You know what follows on from a bottomless brunch?… a long lunch.

Maintain the bottomless brunch marathon, let the lunching begin the Hens Weekend. Either way, we all know ladies who lunch launch into a long affair of delectable fun.

No women ever denied herself a long lunch.

YAS KWEEN!

Best Hens Party Ideas Yes Kween Drag Priscilla

For when you need to drag in the heroes of icebreaking, a Drag Queen can up the ante of charm… as well as the amount of times the term “darling” is dropped.

Garden Hens Party Games

Where better to let groups of women congregate for a day of cheeky competition than a lush lawn.

Line up the balloon-popping by humping relay, landing the ring on the penis, to a more reserved match of croquet. Throw in a picnic and the options for Hens Party games are only bound by imagination (and probably the weather).

Our hot tip: hire a topless waiter to be your referee for the day and keep all competition cheeky rather than fierce.

Private movie night

Best Hens Party Ideas

When the Bride is a little more relaxed or introverted, set yourself up for a night in with Ryan Gosling, George Clooney or Brad Pitt.

Line up her favourite films, classics, or a Sex and the City marathon.

Then all you need is someone to serve the champagne and popcorn.

Karaoke

Squealing women are a common occurrence at a Hens weekend, so let it be channeled through the gift of karaoke.

Whilst we can’t guarantee ear drums won’t be strained, we can guarantee Whitney Houston, Madonna, and Taylor Swift.

And, as we learned from My Best Friend’s Wedding, even the most tone-deaf of singers can’t spoil a solid karaoke sing-off.

If you’re really nervous about the Hens guests belting out their best bangers, ring in the crowd warmers and atmosphere models to help loosen up the voice boxes… and the mood.

Dance monkey

Ok ladies, now let’s get in formation.

Limber up the Team Brides party in lycra and turn on Beyonce.

Whether it’s twerking or salsa, a dance class is high energy, endorphin-filled and incredibly likely to turn into a never-ending d floor session to last the whole hens weekend.

Wine Tasting

You know what pairs well with wine? More wine.

Let the subtle notes of your-friend-is-about-to-get-married combine with the hints of its-her-last-night-of-freedom , play into the enjoyment of drinking rose, sauvignon blancs and shiraz and wine-ing down.

Topless Butler

Get the entertainMENt ladies really want; charisma, washboard abdominals, and the ability to pour a glass of champagne. Forget strippers that, in reality, bring on the Bride’s embarrassment, constant cringing (we’re already stressed enough about imminent wrinkles) or give you anxiety about having their junk on your latest Zimmermann outfit. With a friendly and respectful topless waiter / butler / bartender, you can leave all the serving up to the gents who will keep you in fits of laughter. Do they exist you say? We thought you’d never ask… we have plenty of them ;).

 

Go on ladies, give the lads a run for their money when it comes to the Hens Party versus Bucks Party.
