How to hire a male stripper for a bachelorette party
Six steps for hiring a stripper, from the first question to the night itself.
Step 1: ask the guest of honor
Privately and early. If she says no, plan other entertainment.
Step 2: check the venue
Read the rental or hotel policy, and pick a room with space for the show.
Step 3: choose an agency
Look for an established service with reviews, clear terms and a phone number, to ensure someone answers if plans change.
Step 4: pick the package
One dancer or more, the length of the show and a costume theme.
Step 5: confirm in writing
Date, arrival time, full address, parking, the group size and anything off limits.
Step 6: prepare the room
A chair for the guest of honor, open floor space, a speaker and cash.
03
Male stripper packages and costume themes
The costumes male strippers and agencies commonly provide.
Police officer
A classic, naughty arrival at the door.
Firefighter
A hot, fun look with a uniform.
Cowboy
For a Nashville or Western theme.
Bartender or butler
Serves drinks before the show, sometimes shirtless.
Pizza delivery
A surprise-style arrival for the guests, with her approval.
Two or more dancers
A bigger show for a larger group, at a higher price.
04
What exotic dancer services include
What to know before hiring strippers for the party.
The show
Dances, a costume reveal and time with the guest of honor, for the length you choose.
Music
Some strippers bring a playlist; have a speaker ready either way.
The deposit
Agencies usually take a deposit to hold the date, with the balance paid on arrival.
Third-party sites
If hiring through a third-party marketplace, read its cancellation terms and who handles problems.
Extras
Longer shows, more dancers or a party bus add to the price, so ask what the package covers.
Your choice of dancer
Many agencies show photos, so the group can pick a style the guest of honor likes.
05
Etiquette for the show
How to keep the entertainment fun and respectful.
Follow the performer's lead
Ask before touching, and respect a no.
Tipping
Have small bills ready and agree on an amount in advance.
Keep phones in check
Ask about photos and video before the show starts.
Look after the guest of honor
Tell the agency if she does not want to be the center of attention.
Keep it on time
Be ready at the arrival time and end when the show ends.
06
Alternatives: strip clubs or a male revue show
If the venue says no, or the group wants a night out.
A male revue show
Buy tickets to a show with a stage and seats, such as Magic Mike Live in Las Vegas, where online orders are limited to nine tickets and larger parties call the box office.
A strip club with male dancers
A night out at an adult club for guests 21 and over, where local law allows.
A shirtless bartender or butler
Serves drinks at the party with no strip show.
A dance class
A sexy dance or pole class where the group can play, instead of a show.

08
Planning the entertainment for her last night out
The bride, the room and the budget.
Hiring a male stripper for a bachelorette party is a classic, fun part of the night when the bride wants it. Ask her first, check that the venue allows it, book an established agency, confirm the details in writing and prepare the room.
Check the venue rules
Airbnb's policy bans disruptive parties and open-invite gatherings, and some cities regulate parties at short-term rentals, so know the venue before hiring. Houston, for example, bars hosts from promoting a bachelorette party at a rental. A hotel suite or a private room at a venue may be simpler.
Budget and timing
One dancer runs about $175 to $325 as a Revelwick estimate, depending on the length, plus tips. Split it among the guests, not the bride, and schedule it early in the evening so the night can carry on.
Ask her first, check the venue, and hire an agency in writing.

What the group asks before hiring a dancer.
How much does a male stripper cost for a bachelorette party?
About $175 to $325 for one performer, plus tips, as a Revelwick estimate.
About $30 a head for a thirty minute show.
How do you hire a male stripper?
Ask the bride, check the venue, choose an established agency, pick a package and confirm it in writing.
Prepare the room before arrival.
Should the stripper be a surprise?
Not for the bride. Ask her privately first.
The arrival can still be a fun moment for the guests.
Can you have a stripper at an Airbnb?
Airbnb bans disruptive parties and open-invite gatherings, so read the house rules and ask the host.
A hotel suite or private room may be easier.
How much should you tip a male stripper?
Agree on a tip budget in advance and bring small bills.
Ask the agency what is customary.
What if the bride says no?
Book a male revue show, a dance class or a boat day instead.
