If you're wrenching your head on some stag party tips to make an average stag party mind-boggling, read on. One of the main objectives of any stag do is to send the stag and boys home with a memory they will never forget, even if the destination of said stag do isn't anything special, or you're preparing to stay in a complete pit. So just adding one thing to the proceedings which is a little barmy, unusual or bizarre can make those lasting memories ...errr last. Lets be candid; after so much alcohol has been consumed, you're going to need a little pretty in-your-face and different to ensure it gets through the haze and imprints on those memory brain cells!
Get the Stag Do Connecting
The crazy stag night idea doesn't have to be extravagant, better still if it gets a good chuckle (from the stags and sometimes the people around you), and downright fantastic if it means embarrassment for the stag as well. Check out and weekend a little that gets the whole stag group involved, as it gets the boys’ Bonding with some good old banter. This is particularly crucial where the stag's friends come from alternative areas of his life (home, work, uni, travels, zoo (!) etc). They won't know each other that well, so to stop the party fragmenting, an embarrassing icebreaker might be just the ticket.
The Barmy Stag 7 List
Here's 7 Zany stag weekend choice types to give you some tips, and hopefully think of some other ones:
Crazy Stag Activities.
Get the boys active and working together with a little fun and unique. Ideas include it's a knock-out, human table football, beer keg racing, high cliff leaping, comedy club, and piss up in a brewery. My personal favourite would be the piss up in a brewery, especially if you're looking for a good value stag weekend option. Find a brewery tour local to you, Try to get the group dressed up (stags go Bavarian, stag goes as beer wench ?), and off you go.
Zany Stag Speed Tips.
If your stag is a speed freak, or a petrol head, a little involving serious velocity will go down very well. Try bob sleighing, track driving or the good ol’ stag activity gokarting. Or go sillier and cheaper, and go to a waterpark. I did this for my stag night (albeit a water park in Madrid), and those slides are seriously swift. The bikini-clad scenery isn't bad either.
Zany Stag Events.
Picking the event can make that lasting memory instantly, and makes choosing the venue a no-brainer. Examples include Octoberfest and European Football Championships, plus numerous sporting fixtures if sport is the stag's thang.
Crazy Stag Accommodation.
The gents have to stay somewhere, so why make where you lay your head a little bit special. How about camping, staying in a castle (Consider Barcelona for style), an ice hotel, a tee pee or even a yurt. There are lots of associated outfit available with these places !
Zany Stag Fancy Dress.
Kidnapping the stag, put a plaster cast on when stag is drunkenly sleeping (I've broken my leg!”), drugs stash arrest (fake plain clothing police officer sees bag of flour on ideal man, arrests stag too.), transvestite stripper (rather funny for everyone bar the stag), or pick up a sexy hitchhiker. All these are perfect choices for embarrassing the stag. It's pretty much expected, thus presuming he has a sense of humour, it merely makes the number one man’s speech a lot simpler to write.
Zany Stag Life Skill.
Learning a skill you can use after the stag weekend does sounds a bit wholesome, but it doesn't always have to be. How about commando and survival training, cocktail mixing, poker evening/class, surfing, or trying to learn how to butcher a cow. It might even make you decide a change of career is needed to become a pro mercenary, poker pro, surfing dude or butcher!
In The History Books
I hope the Zany Stag 7 List above has got you thinking about all the possible stag things you could start with to make the stag weekend a complete and utter blast; a stag do that goes down in the history books as the best, strangest, or funniest the boys have ever been on.
