Bachelor parties used to be wild and crazy parties where men said goodbye to "bachelorhood" (the time in a man's life before he gets married) by drinking too much and watching naked women dance. Bachelor parties are supposed to be a lot of fun for the groom, but traditional parties often made the "fiancée" (the woman whom one is supposed to marry) angry when she learned what really happened there, especially if she learned that her husband had kissed another woman - or worse.

Today, many bachelor parties are calmer events where the man simply has fun with his friends without getting into trouble with his fiancée. Bachelor parties aren't always "held" (happen) at bars. Some men choose to have their bachelor parties in a restaurant or at a sports game. Other bachelor parties "stretch out" (become longer) over a whole weekend, with groups of men going "camping" (sleeping outside in natural areas), fishing, or boating. Some men enjoy going to "casinos" (places where people play games for money) for their bachelor parties while other men prefer to play "paintball" (a game where people shoot balls of paint at other people from toys that look like guns).

"Nowadays" (in modern times) many women are having bachelorette parties. Some women enjoy going to bars and hiring male strippers, much like traditional bachelor parties. However, many women are choosing "milder" (less wild and crazy) bachelorette parties. For example, the women might all go to a salon to have their hair and makeup done together. Some other bachelorette parties involve going to a "cabin" (a house in a natural area far from a city) for the weekend.
