Of course, you can skip all the sleuthing by bringing the horse to water, so to speak, and visiting a strip club yourselves. If there's one in your town or a nearby destination, going to a strip club will be an event you won't soon forget. Full of whooping, laughing women, the male strip club resembles a comedy club more than a seedy or sexy strip club -- aside, of course, from the unclad men.

If you plan to take your bachelorette party to the club instead of ordering "takeout," call the club ahead of time to see if there are any group rates or special rooms your party can take advantage of. Then the bride can pick her favorite from a wide variety of onstage hotties.

You're sure to have a blast creating a night that the bride will not soon forget.
