The bachelor party is scheduled and you’re all ready to go. Your spouse is a little uneasy about you going out partying with a bunch of rowdy buddies. How can you put their mind at ease and keep yourself out of trouble.
It
is a certainty that most bachelor parties will get out-of-hand at some
point. That doesn’t mean you have to
forget your morals and let your guard down.
Keep pictures of your spouse and kids in your wallet. Take them out and look at them periodically
to remind yourself how lucky you are to have a family who loves you. Before you go to the party, practice saying
“No thank you. I’m married” in the
mirror over and over.
Have
fun, but don’t drink too much. Try to
keep your senses about you so that you don’t do anything you’ll regret. Take breaks from the party. Excuse yourself like you’re going to the
restroom and go drink a glass of water.
Call
your spouse on your cell phone and let them know where you are and that you’re
OK. Do this several times during the
evening and don’t forget to tell them how much you love them. Be sure your wedding ring stays on your
finger, not on a necklace around your neck or in your pocket or in the dresser
at home. Be proud that you’re married
and let everybody who’s interested enough to look at your hand know this.
