Auto Repair Themed Bachelor Party

Every groom-to-be needs a bachelor party and one that has an auto repair theme will be more fun than ever. What does a guy like more than his car and his future wife? An automotive theme for his sending-off party can be the perfect combination for celebrating his two favorite loves. When newlyweds are first married, chances are they will have a bit of a tight budget. It will help their marriage get off to a great start if their auto is able to start up each day. If a man can't take care of his car, he may resent that pretty little bride of his and this is not the way to begin married life. Help them out with a memorable shindig. Here are some ideas:

- Gifts ideas: All his buddies can pitch in to buy a repair or maintenance gift as a combined offering or individual ones. Here are some ideas:

- Oil change: If he's a big DIYer, just buy him the oil, a new funnel and some rags to clean up afterward. If he loves his ride but doesn't like to get dirty, give him gift certificates for the local quick lube place.

- Tires: Here's a good gift to combine resources on. Four tires can be separate gifts from the whole gang or one apiece if you're a group that has enough cash to spring for them.

- Tune-up: Again, if he's a DIYer, he may be able to do part of this task himself; otherwise pool everyone's greenbacks for a full service inspection and tune-up at your local mechanic's shop. If he likes to work on his own Chevy or Toyota, buy him a "how to" manual or some new tools for his tool chest.

- Brake job: If your friend's ride needs a brake job and badly, now's the time to pitch in and help him out. You don't want him to squeal into his honeymoon locale with the inability to slow down or even stop.

- Food: Bachelor parties need food but it doesn't have to be fancy. A keg of beer, chips, pretzels, Slim Jim meat sticks, some hot dogs on the grill and you're in business. How about a cake decorated with cars? Check your local bakery - they'll have some cool and creative templates to select from.

An auto repair themed bachelor party will be an event your guy friend will always remember long into his matrimonial chapter. He'll have fond memories of the party and his car will be driving like a charm.
