What is a Bachelor Party?

Bachelor parties have deep roots, originating in Western countries. In the U.S., the term bachelor party refers to a celebration for the groom, while bachelorette party refers to one for the bride. In countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, and Ireland, bachelor parties are also known as "stag parties" or "stag dos." Traditionally, bachelor parties were only for men, but over time, they’ve become common for women too.

For women, besides the term bachelorette party, there’s also the "bridal shower." A bachelorette party usually involves fewer people, typically bridesmaids and close friends, while a bridal shower includes both friends and family. These events are all about sharing joy, memories, and heartfelt wishes before the bride or groom enters married life.
