Beef Jerky on a toothpick.
Dad-chelor Party = A bachelor party for a dad to be.
Every guy wants one, even if he is not expecting a baby. Here are some tips for creating the perfect evening for a special Dad-chelor.
DAD-PRISE!
Dad-chelor parties work best if your friend is clueless. Don’t return his calls for the weeks leading up to the party and delete him as your friend on Facebook. The goal is to make the Dad-chelor party Dad-prise that much more unexpected.
DAD-PETIZERS
Most Dad-chelor parties serve Flaming Hot Cheetos, spelling out the Dad-chelor’s name on a blue plate. If you have a higher budget, square-cut beef jerky with toothpicks is always a hit (see picture). Remember, guys, nothing about this party is classy. It is actually your last chance to be very un-classy!
DADDY-SHOWER
Gifts are optional at the party, but do make for an awesomely awkward few minutes. Remember to open the gifts slowly like you are at a baby shower, and “ooh” and “aah,” regardless of what the gift is. Somebody make sure to keep track of who gave what, so the Dad-chelor can ignore the list, and never send out thank you cards!
DAD-BIRTH
Let’s be serious for a second. A Dad-chelor party is not all about fun and games…this guy is about to see his wife give birth. It is advised that one of the Dad-chelor’s friends gives a mock birth to a penguin, as everybody learns about the stress involved in labor. It is highly advised that the friend “giving birth to a penguin” works in insurance, in order to avoid any potential lawsuits.
DAD-CTIVITIES
Poker, darts, and foosball have been played at Dad-chelor parties for years. A new favorite is Drink-with-me-Elmo. The rules are simple: When Elmo raises his hands, bottoms up! Throughout all of the Dad-ctivities, remember that you need a designated driver on hand to possibly take the baby mama to the hospital at any given moment. For this reason, a Dad-chelor party in Tijuana may not be a great idea, unless your OB-GYN is there.
Now go throw a Dad-chelor Party!
