Stag Night Ideas

Send a save the date invitation as soon as you have a list of stags the groom would like to invite. The date should be at least 4 weeks prior to the wedding. Any later and none of the guys want an ear bashing from Bridezilla about a facial hair stag prank.

Score a hatrick with these 3 questions and he’s in:
1. Have you arranged at least one low key activity that won’t cause a hip replacement (again)? We find that dads grow up slowly (in their own minds), so if the bodies willing, they can always pay what what they attend.

2. Does your father get on really well with your friends? If the dads can spin a yarn and have a good laugh like the rest of us, then they can only add to the occasion.

3. Is he really good fun on a night and ready to party? Remember most dad’s feel 21, they have years of experience building up alcohol tolerance.

The groom's closest friends and family are always on the wedding guestlist, so that's the best starting point. If you ask the stag, he might want his dad or grandad there. So you'll need to plan the stag night to accommodate the age range. Good friends make the perfect stag night, rather than the second cousin you see at weddings and funerals.

Planning a seamless stag itinerary without long boring transfers or mad dash transport between stag activities is crucial. Plus ultimately you need the guarantees that the guys are on the guestlist and more than welcome at the accommodation.

2. For the alternative stag From being handcuffed to a dwarf, downing shots in an ice bar, have a strip show on a booze cruise, or oil wrestling two topless babes. Its going to be a night to remember.


3. For the XXX We’ve got your back from full blown Lesbian shows to stag humiliation with a Roly Poly stripper. Our x-rated activities get you right into the action with naked mud wrestling or more creative female nude life drawing.

The stag is a symbol of masculinity, going as back as prehistoric cave painting. The ancient Spartans of Greece celebrated the last night of Freedom with banquets, and as we know Henry VIII loved a banquet and married six times. Those who tie the knot today expect a send-off even bigger and better.
The Oxford language dictionary defines a stag night as "a celebration hen for a man shortly before his wedding, attended by his male friends only".

Grooms are getting married in their 30s, but no matter how mature and responsible your mates might be, they regress back to their early 20s on the stag weekend. It might not be tied to a lamppost with your arse out. But it's likely to include cross-dressing and alcoholic concoctions, so here's what to expect:

1. Copious amounts of booze The boat race, yard of ale and beer pongs are all likely to make an appearance.


2.Light hearted humiliation Games, forfeits and stag pranks keep the stag on his toes. A group of blokes can be very creative, and it’s all done in the best possible taste.


3. Dressed to un-impress The uber-unflattering Morphsuits, give way to an inflatable giant gential or leather bondage gimp suit. The more ridiculous the better for your group theme.


4. No self-pity hangovers The itinerary factors in a morning fry-up and hair of the dog beer, but there is no sloping back to bed in front of a box set, and no time for weakness. You have more stag activities planned, so get stuck in.


5. The stripper tradition When they say there’s not going to be a stripper, then you know what’s coming. A sexy maid wake up call, a sexy hitch hiker, a dominatrix roly poly and a steak and strip if you’re lucky.
