In the past, the bachelor party was typically scheduled for a convenient evening during the week before the wedding. A type of farewell dinner, it was always hosted, and therefore organized and paid for, by the bridegroom. Common slang names for this event are bachelor party, stag do or bucks’ night in different parts of the world. In many areas, this dinner is now most commonly organized by the best man, and the costs are shared by all of the participants. The best man, or honor attendants in general, are not universal customs. Even in places where a best man is customary, the role may be quite different when compared to other areas or times.
