If you're not still in shock over the fact that your buddy has decided to put his single days behind him, then it's best that you do everything you can to plan the ultimate bachelor party. You owe it to the guy to celebrate the amazing times you two had together throughout his single days and to go out with a bang. Of course, it all starts with the location. You want the best for your right-hand man (or should I say wingman), so consider the following options for maximum fun before he takes that long walk down the aisle.
1. New Orleans, Louisiana
The Big Easy has everything you need for a bachelor party and requires hardly any planning. Book a room at one of the many hotels in the French Quarter, walk out onto Bourbon Street, and enjoy. Don't even bother dressing up; you'll be fully decorated by the wild crowds within a few minutes. Just immerse yourselves in the celebration and join one of the street parades. Mardi Gras has more than enough liquor to go around, great Cajun cuisine for when you and the guys get hungry, and ladies everywhere who just want some beads.
