Week before the party
1- Let me know of any song and/or music genre requests.
2- Purchase any needed supplies for “party games”. Also, I can purchase them and add the cost to my fee. Here are some items from past parties:
- Bottle of tequila (for body shots)
- Lime(s) cut into slices
- Salt (salt in a small bowl is fine)
- Can of whipped cream
3- Get singles for tipping.
Tipping with singles is a lot of fun for the girls, but most people don’t keep singles on them. If you want to do this, hit a bank before for a withdrawal. I have had parties where the the guests reimbursed the host for singles, however you want to do it.
4- Confirm sound system details.
I can bring a speaker. If you will already have a sound system up and running, I can share the playlist in advance.
Here is a playlist if you would like to test your sound system:

5- Talk to your attendees about rules and boundaries – see next section.
6- Confirm arrival details.
This includes the time, location, and any parking details. Also, if this is a surprise for the special guest, how to arrive discretely.
Talk to Attendees in Advance
Our goal is to make the party memorable and everybody have an enjoyable experience. However people will have different comfort levels with a male entertainer in the room. Check in advance what people are/are not comfortable with (e.g. full frontal).
We will always ask someone if they are OK with being touched/touching. It work well if audience members who want to interact with the dancer are seated/standing toward the front, and those who prefer to just watch from a distance stay in the back of the room.
Also, clarify in advance if attendees are or are not allowed to take photos and videos. I am fine with people taking photos/video, and I usually give my phone to someone to take photos/videos too. I have had parties where a groom said “no strippers”, so to make sure things were kept secret the host told the guests “no phones”, I gave my phone to the host, so the only video was on my phone. I did put together a gallery after the parties (I am good at photo and video editing) so the host and bachelorette could view later.
at the venue
Have a performance area cleared, at least 10’X10’, and one chair with no sidearms. Non-carpeted is preferred.
I will text you when I am leaving my house, and text you when I arrive. I’ll meet you, give you my phone and gear bag, and you can show me where the entrance is. We can also discuss anything last minute.
