Buck’s Weekend

 

You may have read that my son, Jack, is going to be Man of Honour at his friends’ upcoming wedding. After the hen’s weekend was such a success, he and the best man worked together to plan the buck’s weekend.

Event Details

·         Timing: One month before the wedding day

·         Location: The Gold Coast

·         Guests: Eleven attendees

·         Cost: $875 per person

·         Accommodation: An Airbnb

·         Activities: Friday night dinner at Broadbeach Surf Club, drinks at Burleigh Pavilion, then a SWAT party bus package, Top Golf, a river cruise, and drinks at the casino on Saturday

What Went Well

Top Golf was one of the highlights of the weekend. The package included drinks, wings and pizza platters, which everyone enjoyed. The river cruise was also well equipped and added another enjoyable activity to the itinerary.

One of the attendees also brought along a maid’s outfit for the buck to wear, which added plenty of fun and gave the group something to laugh about.

What Could Have Gone Better

The party bus arrived late, which cut into the drinks package time at Top Golf. That was disappointing for the group – when there’s a drinks package, you want to be there early!

After seeing all the fantastic photos from the hen’s weekend, it was also a shame that there were not more high-quality photos from the buck’s weekend to capture the memories.
