Collaborate on a gift. Talk to the other groomsmen about your group gift. You might consider a gag gift for the night, along with a nice gift that he can bring home without shame.
Count the money. Talk to the other guests about what they can budget for the event. Though it’s fair for everyone to pitch in the same amount of money, some of your groom’s close friends may want to compensate for guests who are either out of work or putting six kids through private school. Split the contributions into weekly or monthly installments to make it easy. Use a service like PayPal (www.PayPal.com) to let folks put their contributions on a credit card.
Bring along your emergency kit. Pack some mints to cover up the night’s indulgences. Write down some cab company numbers in case someone needs an emergency lift home.
Carry a cell phone and your guest’s home phone numbers. Most important, bring lots and lots of one- and five-dollar bills. You’re in charge of the tips all night, and it’s impolite to ask a stripper to break a fifty.
Collect flowers for the ladies. Send your guests home with a little gift to thank the women in their lives for unleashing them for the night. This totally unexpected gesture will get your guests more action than they’d possibly get from the strippers.
