Millennials: Natural born killers

you're planning your bachelor party already?

 

There's only like 7 years before your daughter and I can officially wed

 

which daughter are we talking about?

 

And here it is

 

Yeah

 

admiralawesome1 TheWampa my price of admission won't be that extreme. We're talking $170 music fest ticket + $75 lodging + whatever for transport, food, and beer.

I'd rage if someone necessitated me paying $1500 to attend their shit.

 

Yea if you asked me to spend that much I'd kindly ask you to fuck yourself

 

I'd like to apologize in advance for giving you the shortest commute to the wedding aside from our Tallahassee natives.

 

I mean, a lot of 1500 would be personal spend on food & drinks probably.

 

You can have a great time somewhere for less than $1500

Less than $500 was probably pretty fucking lame

 

He doesn't drink so I imagine it was just any other weekend for him

 

Now in RPG form:

It was OK, I'm not really a party guy though.

 

all you want but it's true... if you go to a reasonably large city and stay in a good area in a nice AirBnB your lodging alone is gonna be ~$125-200 a person for a 3 night trip. As an adult you'd assume there's at least one nice group dinner somewhere that ends up $75-100/ea after booze and tip. Take the low end of both of those and you're already almost halfway to $500 and you've only paid for a place to sleep and one meal.

if it's a 2-night trip under $500 is doable if you're driving but fuck a 2-night bachelor party. half the people won't get there til late friday night and leave early sunday morning.

 

Plenty of fun can be had for far cheaper, especially if you go outside of large cities.

 

It totally depends on what you're doing. I went on 3 this year, all Friday-Sunday. Asheville, Louisville (bourbon trail), cabin in North GA. All around $500.

 

went to one where we rented out a massive house in the virginia mountains. got some really nice steaks to grill out one night + plus kegs + food for friday dinner and saturday lunch. was like $200/person. i thought it was a really good time but i guess i was wrong and it actually was lame :(

 

comments are hilarious. boomers are so convinced they're in the right despite literally decades of evidence.

 

outdoorsy bachelor party would be the obvious outlier... that's just not very common. have been on at least 15 since college and a lot of those guys were/are camp/hike/fish guys and the destination still ended up being a "party city"

so to revise my original, possibly unfair, blanket statement: less than $500 was probably pretty fucking lame, if the bachelor party was in an entertaining city

edit: did everyone live within driving distance of these 3 locations? If not then add a few hundred to that trip for air fare and it's well over $500...

 

Everyone drove. From Alabama/Atlanta mostly, carpooled. Longest anyone drove was from Cincinnati to the N GA cabin. It's just not that difficult to have a good party weekend for relatively cheap. Hell even NOLA bachelor parties I've been on haven't been much different in price.

But yeah airfare will kill any budget.

 

Apparently we aren't adults either since we didn't eat at a really nice restaurant with a $75-100 per person bill.

 

stop talking to me weirdo

 

Most I've spent on a bachelor was Vegas, and 2 guys just wanted to do clubs and the pools. Most others have been under 750- 1000, and pricing has been because I blow a lot on cocktails vs. beer.

 

isn't there a bachelor party thread somewhere

 

i thought we killed bachelor parties already

 

from you posting in other threads you seem like you'd probably grab fast food on the way to the nice dinner

 

I'd be much more likely to skip dropping $75-100 on a meal than to do that.

 

shawn thinking $75 for a nice dinner and drinks as being outlandish is just so fitting for him

you ruin everything, shawn

 

He doesn't drink, he has no concept of those kinda of bills

 

even if you don't drink, that still isn't outrageous if you get an appetizer + nice steak + dessert + tip

of course he probably tips like a total asshole so gonna assume that's where the big point of confusion is

 

Right I'm just saying his theory on bachelor party costs is entirely fucked up because he takes out the biggest cost from the jump

 

You can't buy a desert at a restaurant dummy

 

dessert has two s's. like you want two scoops of ice cream. c'monnow

 

I've been to places where the cheapest steak is $22 and I haven't come anywhere close to dropping $75 on a meal, even with a 20% tip

 

Applebees?

 

No. I've only been there once in my life and got a sandwich.

 

not with that attitude you can't

 

i'm surprised the bachelor party topic went in the direction it did

 

Why don't you drink alcohol?

 

He prefers butt chugging it.

 

A lot of alcoholism in my family, so I'm likely genetically predisposed to it, and I don't want to go down that path. Also a cousin of mine was a horrific alcoholic, fucked up his life because of it, recently ended up committing suicide because of the fallout from the alcoholism.

 

edit: I'm dumb

 

it's the millennial thread, but yes, ripping user# 37084 for killing the alcohol and fine dining industries goes against the spirit of this thread

 

No generation before has gone in bachelor parties.
