TWO IN FIVE PEOPLE THINK BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTIES ARE MORE MEMORABLE THAN THE WEDDING ITSELF (42%), ACCORDING TO NEW RESEARCH.

A SURVEY OF 2,000 ADULTS BY ONEPOLL FOR CHEAP CARIBBEAN LOOKED AT SENTIMENTS AROUND THE TRADITIONS INVOLVED WITH THE “FINAL NIGHT OF FREEDOM” AND FOUND THAT PEOPLE FEEL BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTIES ARE MORE FUN (58%) AND MEMORABLE (44%), THAN RAUNCHY OR CHEESY (13% AND 12%).

HOWEVER, A THIRD OF RESPONDENTS ARE OVER GOING TO STRIP CLUBS (34%) – ESPECIALLY WOMEN (42% VS. 25% OF MEN).

MANY ARE ALSO READY TO STOP HAVING EXPLICIT-THEMED ITEMS (29%) OR VISITING A CASINO (22%), DEEMING THESE TRADITIONS TACKY.

WITH ALL OF THIS IN MIND, HALF OF THOSE SURVEYED ARE CONFIDENT THEY COULD THROW SOMEONE THE PERFECT BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTY (49%).
