8 Quick Tips To Hiring A Stripper!!!


Is this the first time you are hiring a stripper for a friend or party you are hosting? Are you considering a girls night out to a male revue (male strip club)? Or should you hire one to come to you for a more personal private show?

Ok, I have a few tips & tricks to take into consideration before you make your big decision.

First and foremost consider the feelings of the bachelorette!!

Determine whether or not hiring a male exotic dancer is appropriate according to the bachelorettes standards. Usually the maid of honor or a close friend of the bride-to-be does the bachelorette party planning, so she will be able to determine if the guest of honor will feel uncomfortable or not.

Tips & Tricks

1. Consult a male stripper service – Your best bet is to start at the stripper directory. This is especially important if you having an out of town bachelorette party. This will avoid hiring a non-reputable stripper company.

2. Hire a Reputable Service - Trust worthy companies will give you a list of at least a dozen or so available strippers for you’re to choose from. They will be able to send you to a website where you can view and select a male stripper of your choice based on your party date and their availability. Do not hire a company without a well maintained website. You want to be sure that the exotic dancer that you see on line will be the one showing up to the party. If the service provider tries to force a specific dancer on you, this is a sign you need to look somewhere else.

3. Payment Terms – Steer clear of strippers who charge by the hour (this is one of the mistakes I made at my party). Highly regarded strippers should be paid a flat rate for their performance, this way there is no time keeping. The more tips he gets the longer he will stay! The normal going rate for male stripper is around 100.00 to 250.00. In most cases, you will be expected to pay a deposit of 50.00 or more. Don’t pay the entire fee before the show.

4. Cameras ?? – Be sure to ask if pictures can be taken. So don’t mind while others have a no picture policy. Some only ask that there be no face shots (to be sure their day job is not jeopardized by their dancing).

5. Preparation for the Dancer – This is the responsibility of the male strippers. They need to bring the music, routine, and the according outfit you previously requested. Be sure to mention that when interviewing your agency.

6. Dont forget the $$$ - Before the party, make a quick stop by the bank to get a stack of $1.00 bills. Tell all of your guests to do the same or get enough where they can buy them from you.

7. Rules & Guidlines - Make sure the stripper knows the guide lines & rules before the show starts. Point out the guests that do not want a dance so they are not uncomfortable. Don’t leave everything up to him, you be in control.

8. Remember Who is the Boss - Once the stripper arrives, point out the bachelorette. Remember, the bride-to-be is always the center of attention the entire night, what she says goes!

Now its time to party!! Start the music and bring on the stripper!!
