\"pulling<\/a><\/p>\n

Every best man wants to throw a memorable buck\u2019s party, but the days of\u00a0simply booking a stripper after a few drinks at the local pub are well and truly behind us. Modern buck’s nights are about a different type of entertainment.<\/p>\n

Golf days, paintballing , fishing trips and brewery tours have become regular events for buck\u2019s days, but it seems not every best man wants to organise every little detail.<\/p>\n

A buck\u2019s party \u2013 known as a bachelor party in the USA, or a stag night in the UK \u2013 is, traditionally, an occasion for the groom and his friends to celebrate a man\u2019s ‘last night of freedom,’ and, though, it’s a\u00a0bit of a gender stereotype that a maid of honour is far more likely to throw herself into planning a hen\u2019s night – thinking about the theme, decorations, invitations, etc, experts say\u00a0most\u00a0best men are far happier to outsource the task.<\/p>\n

In many cases, it turns out this brilliantly organised ‘outsourcer’ is the best man\u2019s wife or girlfriend. She’ll usually end up shouldering a lot of the responsibility for planning the event, but for those who don’t have someone close to help with planning a buck’s night, there are the professionals such as Nyree Stevens, who has helped organise hundreds of buck’s and hen’s parties across Australia through her companies, My Ultimate Bucks<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0My Ultimate Hens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe find these days men don\u2019t get as many opportunities to go out with their friends, so there is a lot of pressure to make it a really special night, a really memorable send-off for their mate,\u201d says Nyree.<\/p>\n

These days, it is generally recognised that grooms are a diverse bunch, and that many might want something a bit more unique than a drinking binge and a stripper as their \u201clast hurrah\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nyree started her first business My Ultimate Hens<\/a> six years ago, but branched into buck\u2019s events last year after continually getting asked if they organised them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were getting a lot of feedback from the hen\u2019s side of things, people were asking \u2018do you have anything for the groom?\u2019 We realised that there was a real gap in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also realised that the best man often wants a great result with bugger all effort. With the hen\u2019s packages, we find women really want to be involved in the details, but the men really just want to bask in the glory,\u201d Nyree laughed.<\/p>\n

\"Quad<\/a><\/p>\n

With this in mind, her team created a diverse range of packages for My Ultimate Buck\u2019s<\/a> \u2013ranging from scotch and cigar appreciation evenings, to quad-biking, to pirate-themed rum masterclasses, and even helicopter rides \u2013 with prices including all the activities, experiences, cigar, food, drinks and transfers.<\/p>\n

But of course, there are still those who like just a touch of the traditional buck\u2019s night titillation. Nyree says the trick is to keep it classy, and to add a touch of humour.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re worked really hard to ensure our packages are modern and exciting, and that means some of our packages do contain that risqu\u00e9 element that many best men look for,\u201d Nyree said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, one of our packages involves a trip to a shooting range \u2013 but there is a stripper who will remove one item of her clothing every time the Buck hits the target.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously that is not for everyone, and people do need to think about what the groom and the guests will be comfortable with, but it can be an amusing way to get a bit of that traditional buck\u2019s night feel without spending the whole event in a dingy strip club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyree <\/a>suggests thinking foremost about what the groom would want, but also keeping in mind those who will be attending the buck\u2019s party \u2013 an activity that might be perfect for a group of 20-somethings might not suit a 65-year-old uncle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no need to make anyone feel uncomfortable, we have such a broad range of packages that there is sure to be something everyone can enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur consultants are there to help. It\u2019s a great opportunity to organise a really memorable and special event that will really make the groom feel like a king among men, that he will remember for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
