Whether you call it a stag do, buck’s night, or a bachelor party, the pre-nuptial celebration has quietly transformed into a full-blown affair. Millions of friend groups plan and split costs on Splitwise, so we took a look at what the data reveals.
One night? Not anymore
Our data confirmed: bach parties are no longer just one night affairs. The average trip length on Splitwise was three days.
The price tag, revealed
On average, people spent $397 USD per person, not including individual airfare. That figure covered the usual shared expenses: Ubers, drinks, and the inevitable late-night pizza run.
Seven is the magic number
So how many people should come? Our data suggests that the average number of attendees is right around seven people. Enough for lively activities but small enough to not be a logistics nightmare.
The bottom line
Bach parties have become one of the biggest discretionary social expenses for twenty and thirty somethings. The difference between a fun memory and a group chat gone cold? Keeping everyone on the same page about costs. How does your bach party stack up?
Methodology:
Data is drawn from thousands of Splitwise groups created in the last year. Groups were identified as bachelor/bachelorettes by name, and all data was aggregated and anonymized to protect user privacy.
