Legendary Stag Weekends
Tales of legendary stag weekends are told by fathers to their sons in pubs the night before the wedding. If you are that son and your stag weekend was less than legendary, or even memorable for the wrong reasons, then the groom will spend the rest of marriage wondering where one finds these mystical stag weekends.
Stag weekends that are legendary are full of stories of conquests and passion. These days stag weekends often involve drinking too much and in one recent stag weekend, that was less than ‘legendary’ for the bride, the groom was arrested (along with the best man) and the wedding never happened.
If you want a stag weekend that is legendary then there are a few pointers to follow that are sure to make your stag weekend OF stag weekends.
Stag weekends don’t have to be fancy and flash like that of Manchester United Football Ace Wayne Rooney, who flew his friends to Ibiza for four days so that they could play on an expensive yacht, but they have to be fun.
Stag weekends spent in your local doing the same thing that you do on a Friday night can be fun, but if you are looking for something else, even a trip to your nearest city can make any stag weekend a bit more exciting. Add a cheap hotel and some dancing girls and you have the ingredients of a perfect stag weekend.
When you are organising stag weekends, it is worth thinking about the stag party. There should be something for everybody on a stag weekend. One of your mates is going to want girls; girls to dance with, girls to watch dance and girl to chat to. Another mate will be about the music and there will always be one who will be about drinking his weight in alcohol. With these ‘types’ of stag weekend blokes on tour with you make sure that you chose a good club, perhaps with a variety of music genres rooms – this covers drinks, ladies and music. So this covers the night, so if you are on a stag night one nighter, then this has it covered. However, if you are out for the entirety of a weekend, then you need to keep yourselves amused and out of trouble during the day too.
Stag weekends where you go paintballing or go karting are obvious, and fun, but you could opt for throwing in another factor. Perhaps you all went to Uni together, in which case re-living your student life on your stag weekend is a sure fire way of bringing put some childish behaviour that will have you laughing all of the way home.
A stag weekend which does require a bit more planning and a bit of a budget is a trip abroad. This could be either a scheduled and organised trip with activities sorted OR it could be a little bit more engineered and full or surprise. For example, everyone hands over £xx before the trip to one person – probably the best man. The best man then buys flights and sorts all the rest out and then everyone arrives at the airport and is handed an envelope. Within the envelope are the tickets and usually stuff as well as a mission for the stag weekend. This could be anything from get the groom a dance with a striper or get his locked out of his room when he is naked. You get the idea – but either way – this will definitely make him feel like he has some legendary stories from his stag weekend to tell his son.

Planning your next Stag Party
Stag parties are, as far as the groom is concerned, one of the best bits about getting married. They get to spend quality time with their mates before saying the big “I do”. For some men its a last attempt at freedom and for others its merely an excuse to have an amazing time! Either way men on a stag do are a force to be reckoned with.
If you are planning a stag do for someone and are having trouble with ideas why not take inspiration here.
A track day.
All men love cars and most men adore fast cars. So why not spend the day racing one? You can race the car of your dreams and not have to pay the huge price tag! Just be careful when you drive home though.
Go karting.
Why not race against all the other members of your party and beat them hands down at go karting! This is ideal for large groups as you can have different heats and race the winners.
Clay pigeon shooting.
There’s nothing more masculine than a man with a gun so why not try your aim at some clay pigeon shooting? Don’t worry no animals will be harmed during this activity, maybe just a few dented ego’s.
Surfing.
Dude! What could be more fun than learning to ride a wave with your friends? OK yes if it was in Hawaii it would me much nicer but newquay gets very warm in the summer!
Off roading.
Driving, getting dirty and having fun. Need I say more?
Paintballing.
Probably the most fun anyone can have with a mask on. Paintballing is brilliant for large groups and gives you the satisfaction of shooting at your friends when they don’t know it’s you! Just remember that being hit with a paintball will cause a bruise which could take a while to heal so whatever you do don’t go paintballing the weekend before your big day!
Canoeing.
Water, canoes, adrenaline. Try to fight against the current whilst staying upright and staying in one piece. Not as easy as it looks!
Fishing.
For those who want a more quiet and peaceful stag do then try fishing. You can get on a boat, head out to sea and sit for hours chatting with your friends whilst waiting for a catch. Perfect.
If you’re feeling really adventurous you could go abroad for your stag do. Nothing says “my last weekend of freedom” like Amsterdam. Or you could simply have a good pub crawl, possibly with the odd entertainment thrown in for good measure. Just make sure you are sober enough to walk down the aisle the next day. What ever you decide to do make sure that everyone is clear of what is expected of them. If you have delegated invitations to someone, make sure they’ve done it. If someone is in charge of hiring the transport e.g. coach service, bus or taxi’s, remind them to do it. Good planning will make a perfect day and that’s what a groom needs on his stag do.

Stag Party
A stag party is a night of fun that often takes place before a groom’s wedding. Women also have a similar party that will often take place before the Big Day. If you are partly responsible to make a stag party happen you may want to read more about this type of event.
Whether this party is for a bride or for a groom to be it often involves a variety of activities that usually take place while a person still is single. This particular party could involve any number of games, adventures, and club visiting, as well as fine dining. Each stag party is designed to the spouse-to-be’s liking.
Usually a stag party is in reference to man, and includes a stag night which involves frequenting clubs who feature half-naked ladies, as well as up-to-date dancing. However, similar activities have been often organized for women as well.
A stag party is often located partially in a limo, seeing how many limos allow passengers to carry alcohol on board. Often the use of a limo is one of the safest ways to enjoy a stag party, because the transportation is left up to a driver who is (hopefully) not drinking heavily.
Some of the daytime activities that take place before the night time stag party often take place on the water or the beach. Some may prefer to relax while others prefer to swim or to take part in wind surfing. Yet others may take a long walk along the shore.
Other daytime activities that often are included in stag parties include clay pigeon shooting, paint balling, indoor karting (like the American go karts), or bicycling. Some may just prefer to take a day hiking trip, or just take a tour ride.
The types of activities that make up a stag party depend upon the actual people planning the party. It is meant to be the best dream party possible, especially for the groom.
Stag parties are typically a European thing. However, they are very similar to what America calls a bachelor or bachelorette party. The principal is generally the same, and often involves dancing, making a toast to the groom to be, and often at least one person having just a little too much fun. (Read between the lines.)
If a group is planning a European stag party, there are many different locations where these events typically occur. The person in charge of setting up the bride or groom-to be’s party can easiest plan the whole event by way of the Internet.
If a person wants to have a European stag party planned in a specific city, for example, that person can search for the name of the city such as “Sheffield stag weekends”. This will help point the party planner (usually the best man or someone else in the wedding party) in the right direction. In fact, there are maps to hotels and other stag party destinations available online as well.
If you are one of the persons responsible for making this party happen, you may want to do some research and help make this event as special as possible. Remember, this is mean to symbolize a bride or groom’s “last hurrah” of their single life before they start their new married life. It is a big change, and having a stag party is meant to hopefully make that transition much easier.

Planning a Bachelor Party
The bachelor party is just as important as the bridal party. It is an event where the groom can celebrate his last days as a bachelor with the men closest to him: friends, family, and people who have made an impact on his life. It should be a fun and meaningful celebration for both the groom and his groomsmen.
Planning a bachelor party is not really that complicated (at least not as complicated as a bridal party would usually be). The main things to consider are the setting, the guest list, the time of the event, and transportation for the guests.
For the setting, it can be anywhere as long as the guys are sure to have fun and can do some male bonding before the groom finally takes his vow and says goodbye to being single. Like for instance, if the groom is a sports enthusiast, the party can be a sporting event. If the groom loves to ski, and enjoys skiing with his friends, they will have a blast if they make it into a ski trip. A beer fest, golf getaway, beach barbecue, camping trip, weekend in Reno, all these are wonderful settings for a bachelor party. Of course, it would help to discuss things with the groom and groomsmen, and consult them about their preferences. Anything goes as long as it is something that all the guys would enjoy.
For the guest list, it’s usually better to include only the people who are friends of the groom, and people who are close to him. Inviting people who are not so close to the groom may make it impersonal and may lessen the meaning of the event.
Don’t hold the bachelor party on the night before the wedding. Plan the party well in advance and avoid celebrating maybe a week before, because that’s too close to the wedding date. To avoid hassles, you can have the party within a month of the wedding date.
For the transportation, you can choose to use a service with a designated driver, or maybe you can hire or arrange cab services. Limos or buses can also be rented to ferry your guests for the event.
When planning for a bachelor party, keep in mind that it is for the groom and those closest to him, the groomsmen. They are there to celebrate with him on his big day and this party is a great way to have fun and bond at the same time. So no matter where the party is, the main concern would be to enjoy and celebrate.
