Farewell to the bachelor life

The friends take the soon-to-be-married person to celebrate the bachelorhood one more time. The groom or bride-to-be will be taken from home or work unexpectedly for a surprise day out. For example, they go on a pub crawl, a canal tour Amsterdam, eat something or do a physical activity. Either way it will be an unforgettable day.

Cultures

A bachelor party can also consist of other activities. For instance Muslim women celebrate Henna Night: an occasion for singing and dancing. The bride is beautifully decorated with jewelry and henna while nuts, oriental sweets and fruits are eaten. The groom visits the mosque with his friends.
