Who Organises The Stag Do?



Who organises the stag do? Really, is that the question? It's simple, the best man, right?

Or is it....

There may be a number of reasons why it's not a good idea for the best man to organise the stag weekend:
  • The Best Man is your dad and doesn't share your view on a fantastic stag do
  • The Best Man is Under 18 (your son)
  • The Best Man is your dog
  • The Best Man couldn't organise a stripper in a lap dancing club
Whatever the reason why the best man can't organise the stag weekend it'll still need to be organised.

Does the groom need to take the bull by the horns and organise it himself?

The Groom Organising It

This isn't such a bad idea, he'll know what he wants to do. He'll also know who to invite and who definitely NEEDS to be there.

Speaking to some of the staff at DesignaVenture, they sometimes find that the groom will get it all organised and then pass on the role to the best man to complete.

Some grooms would actually prefer to take control of the whole stag event. He would book through a stag do organiser like DesignaVenture so the effort is minimal - see our post on why you should use a stag do organiser to arrange your stag weekend.

DJ, Shots & Rage Buggy

What about one of the groomsmen aka the ushers?

Absolutely. Usually you will find one of the groomsmen is good at organising holidays and weekends so play your ushers to their strengths, it's not just a free ride being a groomsman you know.

The Hen

The Blushing Bride?! Hasn't she got enough to do?

Actually some hen's, as well as arranging their own hen weekend, will choose to also organise the stag do.

These hens are highly organised (as they're also planning a wedding) and will probably have the stag do sorted in no time.

The Best Man's Girlfriend / Wife

At DesignaVenture we regularly get the best man's girlfriend or wife call up and book the stag.

A good lady (just like a good man) will always crack the whip and get the money out of the boys. Can I say that? Is that PC these days? I mean women are better at having babies than men, so we all have our strengths!

Parents of the Best Man

Old Man Meme - funny


Oh C-mon really? It has been done I'm afraid! Why not? Again, if one of the parents is good at organising and is open minded, why the heck not - don't be ageist.

Conclusion

Usually it's the best man who organises the stag weekend and if he can't step up to the mark, anyone who has a natural gift for organising. For peace of mind and for a stress free experience use a reputable stag do organiser such as DesignaVenture.


Good luck

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

Image
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
