Organising a stag party is an honour and a privilege, but at the same time can be a chore. It lands the person responsible with pressure to deliver a great event as people will remember a bad stag party longer than they will a good one.
There are several areas that need to be attended to when planning for your party, firstly how long will it be. The fashion in recent times is for a weekend of activities or at the very least a day of activities followed by food, beer and what ever else springs to mind.
Another important aspect of planning is to ensure that all the other group members are aware of how much it will cost as you don't want anyone to be spending outside their price range because if someone is spending too much money this will be all that they will think about and therefore that person will not be able to properly enjoy the events.
Once you have an idea of budget you can start looking at venues and activities. It is always a good idea to choose an activity that everyone can join in with, young, old etc. This can limit the choices but it will make for a better day for all if you think about the party as a whole.
A venue that has some nightlife close by is ideal, as well as some other activities preferably. That way you can plan your activities and events for Saturday, follow them with a night out and stay in a local hotel, then have some lighter events planned for the Sunday. It is advisable to have any dangerous activities or those that involve driving planned for the Saturday, so that on the Sunday, the more easy-going and gentler activities can help nurse the hangovers.
Preferably you would use a venue that runs several activities in one location, making the overall organisation much easier because you will only need to talk with one venue. Also, a multi-activity venue such as this is likely to have connections with local hotels, clubs and restaurants etc. simplifying your search dramatically.
It can also be a good idea to run the weekend as a gentle competition that is set up so that anyone in the party can win. This means that if you do pick an activity that some people are good at then you can handicap them in order to allow the newcomers to compete on a level playing field. This way you will create a great, fun event that your guests will be talking about fondly for years to come.
Something else to bear in mind is that the average age of people getting married is rising and so the athleticism of people attending stag parties is going down. You may therefore have some guests that are young and in their prime, but you may have some that are older and less active, and this is one of the things to take into account when planning activities that everyone can join in with.
It is true that there is often a fine line to draw between choosing activities that a few really enjoy and activities that the masses can all enjoy, but it is well worth taking a little time to choose something suitable for all. It is also a good idea to split the evening entertainment so that the older guests can enjoy dinner but then depart if they wish before the younger members of your party continue on to a club.
