Groomsmen all dropped the ball with Bach party- help! (XP)

Hi all, 

We're getting married next weekend and I've just found out that none of the groomsmen have done anything to plan the bachelor party for my fiance.  Needless to say I'm pissed off especially b/c for the past 3 months theyve done nothing but talk about taking him out.  

Whatever.

I know it's not the bride's place to do so, but I don't want him to be without a party, so I'm looking for help on ideas to plan it.  

Does anyone have ideas for a bachelor party (girly bar need not be the only option) for the South Chicago area, or other ideas in general?   

Your help is greatly needed and appreciated.

    Your heart is in the right place but you need to step back.  If your girls didn't plan a shower for you would it be appropriate for your FI to step up and make it happen?  Not really.

    I understand you are frustrated since they mentioned it, but they aren't required to throw a bach party.  Let it go.

    I agree with pps. It would not be appropriate for you to plan a bp for your fi.

    You should consider, too, that men don't always plan things in great detail the way women do. They might be the kind of guys that decide on Friday afternoon where they will take him on Friday night. Did they actually tell you they are not doing anything?

    Whoa there tiger. I think ya need to chill there. I think your FI will survive without going to a strip club before he gets married to you. If him and his friend's want to go, they'll go. They don't need you to plan it for them.

    [QUOTE]Agree with the above.  <strong>The party is a gift, not a right, and neither of you should host it since it's a party in honor of the groom</strong>. How do you know it isn't a surprise?

    agree with all the above PP's. It's not your responsibility to plan it and the groom doesn't HAVE to have one. If his groomsmen choose to throw him one, then thats fine but they don't have to.
