If a bucks' night is a sort of 'last hurrah' for the groom to-be, a rite of mourning for his loss of freedom / privacy /autonomy (Code: stare at on-line porn and work through a box of kleenex without interruption), then what could be better than the groom's best man, his best mates and the groom himself getting together over a weekend and indulging in a spot of DIY? In short:
7. Build / create a man-cave for the groom.
Whether you erect a bungalow or shed in the backyard, reclaim a corner of the garage or take over a spare room in the house (with the bride-to-be's permission), getting together over a week or weekend to create a special blokes-only space for the soon-to-be hubby is surely the ultimate pre-wedding manly bonding session, yes? Think about it. It's got everything:
- Making an early-morning trek to Bunnings to buy materials and inhale a BBQ sausage / soggy bread /onion combo to soak up the breakfast beers to come - check
- Handling of power tools and drinking of beer - check
- Sanding and painting - doors, walls and floors - check
- Sourcing that perfect moosehead, marine fossil, 19th century phrenology skull-subject or stuffed Arctic bear online - check
- Decking the walls with ancient whaling nets and harpoons and drinking a beer - check
- Filling the drinks cart with every distilled concoction you can come up with - single and blended malt whiskies, Polish vodkas, home-brew etc - check
- Positioning and testing the recliner's full range of movement - check
- Rigging up a home entertainment system without causing a power outage in your neighborhood - check
- Plumbing and installing a urinal (you'll need it after all that beer)- check
- Kicking back and enjoying your handiwork with a beer when it's finished - check
