At the bachelor party, does everyone bring gifts for the groom.

No, everyone does not have to bring gifts for the groom. In fact, sometimes the groom gives his gifts to his wedding party at his bachelor party, although this can also be done at the rehearsal dinner. A bachelor party is a get together of his close male friends and relatives and can be anything from a softball game and a keg of beer, a camping trip, a night out at the casino or racetrack, etc. to a co-ed party including spouses and girlfriends. It doesn't have to be a burlesque show and get the groom drunk party.

The attendees of a bachelor party can be the groom's attendants, school and current friends invited to the wedding, brothers and close cousins. The groom's father and the bride's father and brothers may also be included if you want.
