Most nerds even like shakers or hookers.
Does he gamble, hit a casino and play a few games.
I don't even know where to start if no baseball (I don't even like baseball but still go to the occasional game), barnstormers if playing, golf or cart racing.
Why don't you just hand me the cash you would spend, I will grab a few other CF folks, have some fun spending it and video tape it so you guys can watch it while you cross stitch.
Hey @cowgirl836 heres some guys who you can teach cross stitching to.

I'd take him to the strip club anyway. I'm apparently one of the few on here that can understand the thought process behind not wanting to go to the strip club. They're dirty, seedy and expensive. But it's a freakin' bachelor party. It's all but mandatory to wind up there, isn't it?
no go, I enjoy the danger of drinking while doing needlecrafts and that sounds like too much exhilaration for this crowd.
I think there's a sex joke about boozing and poking in here, but I'm not brave enough to think of it.
There's plenty to do in Des Moines without drinking or strippers. I understand the idea of a bachelor party to most is getting hammered and gawking at naked chicks, there are plenty of folks who don't consider that a good time, and that's fine.
- First, I'd ask him what he wants to do. I gave my brother and best friend a rough idea of things I wanted to do, places I wanted to go. We all had a blast.
- Have some fun with it. We had all sorts of contests throughout the day/night. There was a mustache requirement. Everyone had to grow a mustache for the festivities. There was an award for best and worst. Secondly, we had a contest for best dressed. My uncle ended up winning best and worst dressed by wearing a mustard suite with some odd silk shirt and tie. Half the group had Hawaiian shirts, others just looked goofy.
- Let the night go wherever it wants. If you stick to a schedule, you'll be more stressed about following it than having a good time.
- This isn't your party. Whatever your brother wants to do, let him do it. If he just wants to hang out with some of his best friends at home and watch movies, it might sound like a terrible time to you, but it's not your night.
For my party, he had a better idea and bought some mascara to darken up his fuzz.
I disagree, all for strip clubs, but if it's my bachelor party I would fight my friends if we ended up at the lumberyard. Have you seen bachelors get whipped, underwear ripped, thrown under the shower and all that? No thank you.
For my bachelor party a few years ago we met up at the High Life lounge at about 2pm and started drinking steadily. Went to an I-Cubs game and then hit Hessen Haus for about 6 boots between us all and a few other bars downtown.
Many moons ago for a friends bachelor party we started the day off with Frisbee golf, which was fun even for people that had never done it before. The cases of beer helped, but aren't required.
We then went to a park with some open shelters and played poker for several hours. Beer and burgers on the grill helped with that too. Then we went to the Lumber Yard, but that was with about half of the guys who were out the whole day, so it wasn't the main event.
It's all about what he wants to do. You guys can have a lot of fun shooting the **** at an ICubs game, even if not everyone likes baseball.
I think Up-Down would be great for you guys. See if they have any group packages so you can play a crapload of games without having to spend too much money. See if there is a cool movie on the I-Max at the Science Center.
Does he like cool food? Maybe take a little appetizer tour around downtown.
If you want to do something more outdoorsy you could find a good place to go tubing.
Paintball or lazer tag could be fun for a few hours with a decent size group. Go bowling? Have a movie marathon of his favorite movies?

I didn't think about the Casino. Go to Prairie Meadows and watch some horse races. That **** is fun even if you don't care to gamble on it. Everyone chip in and stake him for whatever gambling he enjoys there.
Unfortunately you are a week early for Adventureland opening weekend, or that could have been fun.
Other ideas:
Funny Bone might have a good show that evening. And if you tell them it's a bachelor party you can probably get one of the comedians to roast the crap out of him.
Someone suggested Escape Room. I haven't gone but that might be really fun. Something a group of nerds could get into.
Hell if all else fails, have a video game tournament in the bachelors basement. Rent games or a system and a bunch of controllers. Hell have a Mario Cart party if you want.
I'm still curious as to what your brother actually likes to do.
I was going to say this group just might enjoy getting a few cases of Mountain Dew and having a good ole fashion LAN party. And It's Mario Kart, SHAME on you.
G Dang It. I knew that. My fault for typing fast.
Hell, have everyone bring over their laptops and play some online games together. Sounds like fun.
One Saturday night we decided to pre-game by having a mini LAN party and play Unreal Tournament while we waited for the girls to show up before heading to Welch. We ended up staying in, getting drunk, ordered pizza and had a great time. The girls were pissed at first because we kept delaying going to the bars, eventually they got in on playing with us and it ended up being one of the best college drinking nights. People would rotate in and out between playing UT and drinking games at the counter.
@Cyinthenorth how did this ever turn out inquiring minds want to know. Did the groom meet a stripper dump his fiancé catch a flight to Vegas and marry the stripper?
