5 Tips on Creating The Best Stag Do, Ever!

This time of year best men are all over the country are trying to create a stag do that the groom-to-be will absolutely love.

Right now the best man will be possibly sweating and crumbling under the pressure of having to arrange an incredible weekend that:

  1. The stag will love
  2. His mates will love 
  3. Will be priced at an affordable amount, for most
  4. On a date that doesn't clash
  5. Something unique

1. The stag will love....


You will probably know him better then the lady he is about to spend the rest of his life with, so with this knowledge go forth and create. If you need to discuss it with him, well it's a great excuse for a pint or three down the pub.

2. His mates will love...

 As you know the stag really well you will know what he absolutely loves and despises. However, don't fall into the trap of thinking his mates will like what he loves.

For example; if the groom is heavily into golf, and you book a stag do which includes golf you are likely only to appeal to golfers, usually non golfers either hate the sport or simply don't want to play it, so you may find half the group will not want to go on the weekend.

Golf is a great example, each year at DesignaVenture we get best men booking golf for 20 people with all good intentions however, when it gets to the crunch and people have to pay their bit, the non golfers dip out altogether from the weekend or do the weekend without the golf. On a typical golfing booking a quarter play golf.

Like I said unless all his mates are golfers choose another activity.

3. The Stag Do will be priced at an affordable amount, for most...

 Now you cannot please everyone and there's a thin line between over pricing a stag do and under pricing a weekend, not booking enough therefore not making it appealing to some of his flakey rich mates.

4. On a date that doesn't clash...

 There are loads of logistics you will need to consider when booking a date for the stag do, when is the bride-to-be going on her hen weekend? Can they go on the same weekend? What about his core mates? What dates can they not do? The destination for the stag do does it have a huge festival happening on that weekend (which will mean no hotel beds)?

2016 is the year of the Euros and we have 3 home nations teams playing Wales, Northern Ireland and England. Do you want to be on a stag do when they are playing, my answer would be YES PLEASE!

It's the best time, after all you will be with all your mates!!

Tip: First of all, book early so everyone can stick in their diary before they get invited to other things or book a holiday. Secondly put the date out there before booking as it can be costly moving the weekend.


5. Something Unique...

 Now this isn't so important however, doing something different will make it more memorable especially if your party is a group of stag do veterans.

Whatever you get up to, Good luck!

And remember...

We also have a stag do 101 guide which will help you to organise a mammoth weekend.

Stag Do Traditions

Image
In the UK a stag do is a tradition, a time when a man calls for all his best mates and friends to get together and celebrate his single life before he gets married. In France they call it " enterrement de vie de garçon" which basically translates to "burial of the life as a boy or bachelor". Back to the UK, usually the 'stag or groom to be', nominates one, two or even three best men who will then take on the task of organising the stag. They will not only organise the it but also arrange what's going to happen on the stag, The Traditions. People think that traditions are hundreds of years old, but in my mind a tradition is something which has passed on from stag to stag. What are these traditions I hear you ask? I'm just getting to that... The Right To Humiliate The Stag Humiliating the stag is a good one to start with, these humiliation rituals are done on different levels of the embarrassment spectrum. The worst I saw was when

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

Image
Stag do rules whether they're funny or serious are part and parcel of a well planned stag do, and we are about to rummage through the depths of another top 10. There are quite a few unwritten rules, which I have written down? To be honest, it wouldn't be much of a top 10 without some stag do etiquette (unwritten rules). By the way if you are lost and are looking for some brilliant stag do games, go here . Rule Number 1 - What Goes On Tour, Stays On Tour This is one of the mentioned unwritten rules, it either makes the stag do sound: Mysteriously amazing Something has happened and no one wants to talk about it  No one can remember However whatever the reason, it's the most important rule to abide by. Rule Number 2 - Don't Leave Your Man Behind Enemy Lines In other words do not leave a member of the stag party asleep in a club, leaving him to get nudged by the bouncer leaving him to traverse his own way back to the hotel. You can also apply this ru

Top 10 Stag Do Movies Of All Time

Stag Do movies are really on the up, over the years this fantastic life experience (your stag do / bachelor party) has also become a must see movie. Here at the DesignaVenture towers we have raided our DVD collections and VHS tapes and watched as many stag do themed films as possible to rate them in our very own special Top 10 stag do movie compilation. So which stag do movies have received the DesignaVenture Movie Gongs: At 10…. Bachelor Party Vegas  (2006 - IMDb rating 4.7/10) Possibly the start of the modern stag do comedy movie where the stars pack their bags and head to Vegas for a weekend to remember, or forget! This funny film also includes lots of naked ladies and even Paintball guns, how very apt. At 9…. Stag Night (2008 - IMDb rating 4.9/10) This is definitely not light hearted or a comedy in any way, a stag party takes the New York underground and gets off at the wrong haunted station, "STAY ON THE TRAIN!". A thriller which will put you off hav

Top 10 Stag Do Games

Stag Do Games are a must on a stag do, not only will it create a togetherness amoungst the group, it will also be fricking funny. Just a word of warning , we do not condone masses amounts of drinking that these games promote, this article is just a service we provide for people that would like to know about stag do games, which obviously includes a little tipple or two. Chicken Run This game is brilliant and includes dressing the stag up as a chicken. SO, dress the stag up in a chicken outfit then, everyone sticks £10 into a kitty and gives it to the stag. The stag dressed up as a chicken has as long as it takes for everyone to buy a drink and finish it to find a bar and drink the kitty dry - just imagine, a bloke sat in a bar, dressed up as a chicken, drinking alone, hilarious! The group splits up into teams of 2 - 3, the first teams to find the stag/chicken get to drink from the kitty. The game is over once the kitty is dry or all the teams have fo

Liven up your stag night with a theme or game, and there's no better stag do game than pub golf. So here at the DesignaVenture Towers we have been listening to our stag parties and recently we have been asked for the rules to the stag do game Pub Golf . So like the pleasing company we are, here are the rules to this brilliant game that doesn't come with frustration and certainly doesn't ruin a good pub crawl. Pub Golf Rules Rule #1 - Dress Code Everyone MUST dress up like a pro golfer. Socks with a tartan or Argyle pattern if you please, brightly coloured golfing trousers (the more pastel the better), a matching shirt or polo shirt and a sun-visor. Golf shoes are not compulsory but are a great addition. Rule #2 - Pick Your Course Wisely At your chosen stag weekend destination you're going to need a pub crawl route. 9 pubs / bars in fairly close proximity of each other, to add to the theme try and pick sports bars or pubs or a pub/bar with a r
