Planning your next get-together with your friends? It can sometimes be tough to organise but spending time with friends is good for our mental health, so should be high on everyone’s agenda.
A guy’s night can be an easy event to organise for all, however, which should ensure everyone can make it. If you want to throw a fun guy’s night for you and your mates, our guide has all the information you need to throw an epic one.
Set a budget
The first step when planning a guy’s night is to define your budget. You’ll rarely find a get-together that’s cost-free and spending a little will make it a more memorable event. Plus, your mates should appreciate you going the extra mile for them.
Make sure you don’t go overboard with your budget – you don’t want it to bankrupt you!
Set a date and send the invites
Next, pick a date you know your friends will be free and get it in their diaries as soon as possible. You could send physical invites for them to stick on their fridge to make it more memorable or simply send them a text, email or WhatsApp message if that’s easier for all.
Choose a theme
Themed parties are always a blast and making your friends dress up should be a barrel of laughs for everyone. Your theme could be anything from Hawaiian to fancy and even childhood heroes. Whatever you choose is sure to be a hit with your guests – so long as everyone gives it a go!
Pick some entertainment
No guy’s night in is complete without some entertainment and there are many options for you and your friends to try.
Play roulette online for a fun, engaging experience, host a game of poker at your dining table, watch some elite sports matches or buy a bunch of interesting beers to taste.
Curate your playlist
Take your night to the next level by soundtracking it with an epic playlist. Try to incorporate songs that you know the whole group will love to ensure there are no music-based squabbles as the night goes on.
Alternatively, you can choose premade playlists through streaming platforms like Spotify if you don’t have time to add songs yourself.
Get the food and beverages in
Every guy’s night will need a good selection of food and drinks. Make sure you find out if anyone has an allergy and if the group wants to drink alcohol or not. You can now head to the shops and get a great selection of food and drink.
We recommend picking finger foods and bottled drinks to keep your preparation to a minimum and reduce clean-up time. If you and your friends are the type to enjoy eating at a steakhouse, you can always learn how to prepare great steak at home for your friends.
Have fun!
Finally, have fun! You’ve taken plenty of time to plan the event and now you get to enjoy it. Try to get a moment to chat with each of your friends, so you can have a good catchup.
