The in's and out's of arranging a stag do

Stag parties come in all shapes and sizes, and it's fair to say that no two stag weekends are ever the same (not that you would want them to be anyway!). That said, there's a common theme among superb stag weekends - organisation and planning! The first step in planning is to collect a few ideas for the stag party, do your research and have a chat with the stag and any other key people who'll be attending the stag party for ideas. Have a search on google for "stag weekends" and it should bring you up a few sites with possible ideas.

The key things you need to contemplate when planning a stag party are: 1/. Where you'll be going, 2/.The type of accommodation you're after, 3/. The activities you would like to do during the day - e.g. go karting, paintball games, quad bikes, clay shooting, 4/. What you would like to do in the evening , such as clubs, pubs and restaurants and finally 5/. How you are going to stitch up the groom. Below are some ideas you may like to contemplate during the stag party planning process..........
