CHELSEA PIERS
In today’s world, a girl expects a lot out of the first date- it has to be fun but not extreme, intimate but not sexual, and it has to wow her in some kind of way (even if it's just the excitement she feels in seeing a great smile). We know these can be pretty high demands for a bachelor on a budget, especially one in his prime dating phase. And even if you’ve been together for years, date nights are a staple for a fresh “young” couple. So here are a few of our favorite (cheap) dates.
Let's face it -- weddings are for parents. Receptions, with their buffet meals and tired DJs, might as well be for grandparents. The real party lies a few days before, as best men and bridesmaids try to show their besties one more wild night before they get hitched.
But as anyone who has ever thrown a stag party (or "hen party," as bachelorettes are called across the pond) knows, debauchery takes planning. No one likes being forced to make decisions late in the evening, and if you're doing it right, no one will be able to. Luckily for the faint of heart, we've assembled some tips for those who dare to go above and beyond for their soon-to-be-newlywed friends.
