Why Should You Book Your 2020 Stag Weekend Early?

A clock in front of the DesignaVenture logo


The early bird catches the worm... alright filthy mind, this isn't an innuendo it's actually a saying from years back which is very apt when talking about booking a stag weekend early.

It's not just about losing out on availability when you book late, we are also talking about getting the best price for your stag group, being well prepared for your stag weekend and let's face it, sometimes arranging a group of men is like herding cats, so being prepared is an excellent idea chief.

So what's the difference in booking 12 - 6 months in advance and 6 weeks in advance?

Booking your stag do 12 - 6 months in advance...

Booking this early you should get good availability for your:
  • Flights
  • Accommodation
  • Activities
  • Best Time Slots
So that's most of your weekend sorted!

Plane flying in early morning


Plus, prices tend to get higher the closer you get to your arrival/departure date, especially when it comes to booking flights or hotels - so you'll actually be saving money!

You'll also give the guys plenty of notice, so they're not busy on your chosen weekend. The guys can also pay it off monthly if this helps them budget. Booking through a stag do company such as DesignaVenture, individual party members can actually pay us directly weekly, monthly or daily it's up to them.

Booking through a stag do company will save you a whole load of hassle especially when it comes to getting the money out of the guys.

If the groom-to-be knows that this part of the wedding is sorted it will take a load off.

In the stag world, make no bones about it, booking early is an extremely good idea.

Booking your stag do late (6 weeks before or less) - are there any pros?

Well, lots of stag groups do book between 10 - 6 weeks before the arrival date. Whether this is down to poor planning or indecision, booking this late isn't rare, however they get less choice and may compromise on a few options including their preferred activities as the popular ones get booked up first.

Booking this late at least you will know who is definitely coming, as you will pretty much need an answer and money immediately.

You might get a deal but busy weekends you will struggle to get availability.

Advice on a booking a stag weekend late.

If you are going to book late I would highly recommend you use the talents of a stag do organiser such as DesignaVenture.

You will find that stag companies like DesignaVenture have plenty of contacts with accommodation and activity providers. Plus you will also be able to use their individual payment facility making it easier for the guys to pay in a hurry.


DJ, cocktails and dirt Buggy

Conclusion

So in conclusion and in my mind booking your stag do early is highly recommended however if you can't you can still have a great weekend and using a stag do organiser like DesignaVenture will help to make the stressful task of organising stags a lot easier.

Whatever you get up to, have a good one.

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.

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

Image
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 Stag Do Challenges

Image
Not to be confused with pranks and games, stag do challenges is a whole new ball game. Stag Do Challenges consist of the stag (groom-to-be) being set a number of tasks over his stag weekend or night which he must complete, if he doesn't there's a forfeit which is usually drinking his own weight in wine or something, but that's up to your group. Below I have put together a do-able list of 27 stag do challenges, you can pick the best ones or try and get him to do them all (on occasions, we will add to this list). All at the same time, the stag must purchase a porn magazine, hand cream and some tissues - this must be done without an explanation and without a smirk on his face. (I have a friend who bought a tub of vaseline for his chapped lips and a cucumber for his mum, totally unaware of what his 2 shopping items looked like travelling down the conveyor belt to the check out!). Get a kiss from a MILF who must be clearly over the age of 50. Beat a total str

The Rules To Pub Golf

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
