Some of my friends had them at their party and Im going to a couple of bachelor party's soon and I know for sure there will have strippers there and mostly everyone there are Christians as well.
Strippers don't do anything for me as it is looking at and throwing money away at a random stranger to shake it, so what are others thoughts on Christians having a stripper at their Bachelor/Bachelorette Party?
Me personally, I will not have any at mines when I have one.

I would put it this way - if someone is truly trying to be the kind of Christian that follows the examples Jesus set, they would not participate in something like this. It's not about "right or wrong" so much as just inappropriate.
Whether it is strippers at a party or any other conduct unbecoming to a Christian, consider this: A key part of the Christian life is to NOT be a stumbling block to others. Paul dealt with this issue as it related to eating meat sacrificed to idols. He said, (paraphrase) "An idol is nothing and meat has no spirituality of its own, but, if my eating meat causes my brother to stumble, I will not eat it." I Cor 8
Is going to a party to observe strippers something that is a God-honoring?
Im there for the bachelor party, it is his friend that decided there will likely be a stripper. I have said many times I wouldn't get one if I had a party because I dont believe a Christian should have them at those and I was told to lighten up or that I was a uptight Christian for saying that.

I wasn't trying to pass judgement. My question was sort of my answer to your question. Is it right for a Christian to have a stripper at a bachelor party? IMO, no not really. I do not see much righteous in thought or action with the idea of having strippers.
Of course it is not your party and not your call. If you want to honor your friend and attend, you could always step out for a little bit at the point where strippers are there.
A Christian marriage is a HOLY SACRAMENT. There is much about "normal practice" in many Christian weddings today, which I find amounts to sacrelige. The events ancillary to the main event (the wedding) should be of a tone and purpose which supports the sacred nature of the union of two people under Christ.
Kudos to you for considering what Jesus would think, rather than what your peer group thinks. One is eternal. The other is temporary. Christianity, at its best, is about doing what you know is right(and avoiding what you know is wrong), even if it is at odds with what society as a whole considers acceptable.
I think it would be healthy for you to think for yourself as well just so you know. Use your sense and judgement.
But no, I don't think it's the most "christian-like" thing to do.

As long as she is a Christian stripper and has a hot bod - I say that would be God-honoring
