How did the Bachelor Party or Dinner start?

I dates back to the Spartan Groom, who always invited his close friends to a supper on the eve of his wedding to celebrate and to reminisce about his past.  Traditionally, it was also held to raise money for the bridegroom so he would be able to continue to drink with his buddies after his wife took control of the finances.  Mainly, however, it was a mourning for the passing of the man's bachelor status.
