MELBOURNE BUCKS PLANNING 101
How To Get The Bucks Planning Started
Pulling off the ultimate Melbourne bucks party starts with…you guessed it! The buck.
Before you dive into the planning, think about your buck and what he would want for his send off.
What are his interests and what kind of celebration will represent him best? Is he the token adrenaline junkie or more laid back? Will he want an action packed day of activities or a rowdy lads night out? This is the perfect starting point to build from.
The Beer Loving Buck
The Beer Loving BuckThat one mate who is never seen without a bevvie in his hand, and is always up for a brew or two!

The Adrenaline Junkie Buck
The Adrenaline Junkie BuckThe guy who’s keen to riproar his way through any kind of adrenaline pumping activity whether it’s go karting, skydiving, clay shooting or ATV riding. A rip roaring bucks is on the cards.
The Party Animal Buck

Who Should I Invite To The Bucks?
The guest list can make a big difference to the style of event you plan, and there are a couple of reasons for this!
1. Group size matters! With a big group of lads, you’ll want to look at venues and experiences that suit your group size. For smaller groups, you have a whole different range of options at your fingertips.
2. Some activities are best left determined by the crowd...because let's be honest, you may want to save the dominatrix strip show for after his future father in law has departed.
Folks who often make the bucks party list are:
- Best friends
- Childhood friends
- Work colleagues
- Family
- Future in-laws
- Siblings
- Uni mates
- Sports team
Who Should Be Involved In The Planning?
The number of people you have helping with the planning is up to you - but beware of too many cooks in the kitchen!
The more involvement and influence from others, the more confusing it can get. The buck chose you as his best man for a reason, so if in doubt...call My Ultimate Bucks and we'll be your wingman throughout the process!
Here are a couple of ways you can approach the planning. Think about which is best for you and your group:
a) Involve the groom
b) Involve the guest list, but keep the plans a surprise for the buck
c) Decide it all yourself, and send the invites! Whoever comes, comes & whoever doesn’t doesn’t.
WHAT STYLE OF EVENT AM I WANTING?
-
Adding Melbourne bucks party accommodation to your celebration is always a great idea. Extend the festivities, save yourselves extra transport logistics and focus on the cold beers and good times.
-
One day events can be a convenient and inclusive choice for everyone involved, as they don't require an extended time commitment. Go big, then go home!
-
Adding an element of surprise is a brilliant way to make the Melbourne bucks party unforgettable. Imagine telling him the Uber is on it's way, only to have a show-stopping party bus or a sleek stretch hummer roll up. Perhaps you'll tell him you've got a poker game lined up - but keep the topless dealer a surprise! The opportunities for surprise are endless
-
Plan a Melbourne bucks party with a twist – a little 'payback' for tying the knot, shall we say... Picture this: casually mentioning a low-key gathering, only to unleash a hilarious bucks party prank that leaves the groom in stitches. Whether it's a fake invitation, a man-kini or tutu, or an unexpected twist in the festivities - a light hearted prank will go down in bucks party history.
Choosing The Right Location
Select a Central Location:
Melbourne offers various neighborhoods, each with its unique charm. Consider a central location like the CBD, Southbank, or Fitzroy for easy access to activities, venues, and transportation.
Accommodation:
Choose accommodation that suits the group's needs. Whether it's a luxury hotel, a trendy boutique stay, or a spacious Airbnb, make sure it aligns with the overall vibe of the bucks party.
Transport:
Remember, when it comes to group events - transport can be a killer!
Thankfully for you, Melbourne is full of awesome transport options like luxury stretch hummers and limousine, party buses, boats & more!
If you’re planning centrally to the CBD, you’ve also got the trusty tram or the classic Uber. This all factors into your costings - so don’t forget about this part!
Let’s talk about Melbourne weather
Melbourne is known for its epic nightlife, range of experiences and being the trend-setting city.
It's also known for its unpredictable weather.
So what do you do if you can’t predict the weather? Pack sunscreen and an umbrella! Just kidding…but you do you have a choice to make!
You can hope for the best, or you can beat it to the punch by planning an indoors event! When you’re planning a bucks event with your own personal planner, these are the sorts of things we can give you a hand with so you know you’re making the right call!
When Should I Send The Bucks Party Invitations?
Send out invitations well in advance.
This is especially crucial if guests need to travel for the event. Provide all necessary details, including dates, times, and any special instructions.
Some activities like go karting and skydiving have height and weight restrictions. When you book with My Ultimate Bucks - we ensure you are aware of absolutely everything you need to know, so you can prepare the lads with the info too.
