Rehearsal Dinner Etiquette from The Man Registry: Party Down?
About The Man Registry From time to time, we receive an interesting question from a user that simply must be answered in a public forum. Take this one on drunken rehearsal dinners for example: Q -We’re holding our rehearsal dinner at my parent’s house. Very casual, very low-key.

The Man Registry: The Bachelor Party- Avoid Bars that HATE Bachelor Parties
About The Man Registry If I could do my bachelor party all over again, I would only change one thing (well, two if you count calling a bartender a Cincinnati Bengal as a bad thing). My friends and I didn’t properly prepare for the fact that some bars and clubs refuse to let bachelor parties (aka groups of drunk men) in the door. This is a shame, but apparently the old adage applies... a small percentage of people ruin it for everyone else. As future Best Men and grooms, I’m sure...
