How wild can my bachelor party be?

This is your night and you need to plan a party that will be fun and still tame enough to keep your fiancé happy.

Warning. Caution. Be careful. Don't be stupid.

Now that we have your attention, think before you start nudging your buddies in the side and making jokes about the bachelor party. Remember, you have asked this special woman to marry you and you don't want her calling off the wedding at the last minute after hearing stories about your stag party. Be considerate of her feelings and make sure both of you (and also your friend who is planning the party) are in agreement as to how the party should be.

With that said, talk with your fiancé to make sure you are both comfortable with your plans before you arrange what you are planning to do. The guys may give you a hard time but remember, this is the woman with whom you'll be spending the rest of your life and you want to get your marriage off to a good start.

Try to schedule your party a week or so before the wedding so you can have time to catch up on your sleep and rest before the ceremony. If you are having an out-of-town wedding and it must be the night before, BE FIRM and make sure you leave early. Don't let your pals talk you into staying up all night or you'll regret it the next day.

Suggested bachelor parties:

• Rent a bar for a few hours

• Enjoy dinner at a favorite restaurant

• Go to a sporting event with your friends

• Go to a concert

• Organize a day of golf

• Take a fishing trip

• Go on a camping trip

Helpful rule of thumb — your sweetie-pie might be planning her own bachelorette party. Think carefully, don't do anything you wouldn't want her to do ...
