• Treat him right before he takes the plunge.wedding celebration image by Warren Millar from Fotolia.com
  
  To plan a bachelor party in Massachusetts, you need to think of who the person is you are throwing it for, how many people would come and price. Obviously the groom can't pay a cent, so as long as people can cover their own fees and split up those of the main man, the planning should be fine. Keep within a previously agreed upon budget so financial tension does not induce extra stress. Bachelor parties are known to get a bit crazy, but if you plan it correctly you can be sure to cater to the groom's personality and preference.
  
  

Red Sox/Party Bus/Clubs

• Going to a Sox game with buddies is a great way to start off the night. It is important to have an actual activity planned so that you don't go party hard right away and crash by midnight. The Red Sox will provide the perfect distraction while the drinks start to flow. After the game, have either a limo or a party bus show up at a predetermined location. At this point, if some people could not afford the game or simply could not make it, extra friends can wait in the limo to surprise the groom. Spend some time touring the city and arrive at your preferred club. For erotic dancing, try Centerfolds in the theater district. Otherwise, choose the groom's favorite bar and go there. After the clubs, have the driver take you all back to the same hotel or house to continue the festivities.

Skydiving

• Not every husband-to-be wants to be dripping with alcohol right before he slips on the ring. For the adventurous groom, head to Skydive Pepperell. One hour outside of Boston, the skydiving company will teach you how to dive safely from over 12,000 feet and set you up on a tandem dive. Choose your day carefully, because if the cloud cover is too thick you will not be allowed to jump. If the group has more than 15 people, the groom jumps for free.

Race Car Driving/Patriot Game

• Another option for the man who is less interested in a booze-fest is race car driving in Braintree. At F-1 Boston, learn to drive the cars like a pro and race against your friends. Since Braintree is on the way to Foxboro from Boston, consider seeing an afternoon or night Patriots game at Gillette Stadium. A party bus is a good idea for this trip so everyone can participate in the festivities. No drinking before F-1 racing.
