Planning the perfect stag weekend requires plenty of preparation and organisation. There are a lot of factors you need to take into account to ensure everything goes smoothly. Take a look at this guide and use it to help you in your planning process.
Invite List
The first thing you need to sort out is the invite list. Now, you will most likely have sat down with the best man and come up with a list of guys you want to invite. This is a good opportunity to try to iron out a few things. And, you need to make sure you think carefully about the sorts of people you should and shouldn’t be inviting to the weekend. It’s important to be smart about this because you want the best possible weekend for everyone.
Organise in Advance
The perfect stag weekends are those that are planned well in advance. You have to give people plenty of time to save up and get the money together. It’s also important to think about the notice you need to give. Plush, you need to remember that a lot of things are going to need to be booked and reserved. The last thing you want is to turn this into a last minute affair. Make sure you have booked and planned it all well in advance.
Take Cost into Account
It’s important to take into account the cost of a stag weekend. Now, this is not something that’s going to be cheap, and you have to understand that. So it’s essential to choose something that is within most people’s price range. A weekend trip to Prague might seem like a great amount of fun, but it will also be very expensive. So, you need to think about things a little closer to home and be practical as well as cost-effective.
Activities
No stag weekend would be complete without activities to keep you entertained and occupied. You have to think about great activities and things you can do as a group. One of the most popular stag do ideas is going paintballing. This is a great opportunity for camaraderie and competitive enjoyment. Stag party paintball sessions are always fun and would be a great activity for the weekend. Float the idea to the group and see what they all think. The sooner you book, the better the deal you will get.
Behave!
You have to remember that a stag weekend is meant to be a celebration of impending marriage. It’s not an excuse to go crazy and start fooling around with women! Sure, if you’re single there’s no reason you can’t have a bit of fun. But those who are in a relationship (the groom included) need to be on their best behaviour. So try to avoid situations in which people might find themselves in trouble with the law or with the opposite sex. That means try to avoid the strip clubs, and curtail the excessive drinking as much as you can.
Stag do’s are a rite of passage among young men in this country. They are fun and exciting, and a great way to unwind with the lads. Stag weekends provide a great opportunity for one last hurrah before the stag ties the knot! If you’ve been enlisted to organise the stag do you need to do as much as you can to plan the perfect weekend for your friends.
