Organizing a stag weekend or stag night is an important responsibility for any best man or groom.
The stag do will be talked about before the wedding, during and for years after, so the pressure is on to provide a quality stag party.
However, there are some tips to help the stag party run more smoothly.
Tip 1 You need to decide how many guys will be attending the stag bash.
This is important because this influences what activities, accommodation and destination you'll be able to do.
A good number for a stag do is around the 10 - 12 mark, as this makes it easier to book accommodation and most stag activities work around these numbers.
There is no point deciding to do quad biking for 25 guys, as they'll most likely be a lot of waiting around.
Tip 2 Next to decide is the date of the stag party, once decided stick to it.
Ensure that you stay away from bank holiday weekends if possible, as most hotels and activities will either be filling up fast or charge double prices.
If you're going to a city with a racecourse, stay clear from race weekend, as accommodation will be limited.
Tip 3 Now that you have a rough idea on numbers and decided on a date for the weekend, next is the budget.
Speak to everyone to get a rough idea of their budget and then go for the average price.
However, if the stag party is booked far enough in advance, this gives time for everyone to save up the money monthly.
Just remember that everyone's financial position is different and your job is to ensure that everyone has a good time.
A really good idea to help take the pressure off yourself is to appoint a treasurer whose job is to collect the money from everyone ASAP.
Set monthly or quarterly amounts and stick to it, as soon you'll be paying for activities and accommodation.
