The bachelor party isn't just a tradition, it has become the stuff of legend with movies like "The Hangover." That being said, you don't need a blowout in Vegas or a night at a gentlemen's club to celebrate a friend's entry into married life. If you want all of the celebration, but none of the craziness, you'll find these places are good options.
