4 Tips To Help You Plan The Perfect Stag Party

Being the best man is certainly a huge privilege, but at the same time, it’s a serious responsibility as well, especially if you were chosen to organize an entertaining stag party. After all, this is the last night of “freedom” for your best buddy.

There are so many things that have to be arranged properly if you want to make sure your best mate has the time of his life and if you’ve never done it before, you may feel a bit overwhelmed in the beginning.

Even though you’ll be dealing with a lot of tasks, don’t worry. We got you covered. In order to help you out, we put together a list of spectacular tips that will aid you in pulling off the best party in the world.

Outstanding Tips & Tricks For Throwing Unforgettable Stag

Who Is Coming?

First things first, you must compile a list of all the guys that will come to the stag party. In these types of situations, you shouldn’t be making any assumptions, but instead, talk to your friend and see who he wants to invite.

Does he want to include closest buddies only, or are relatives welcome too? After all, you do not want to invite an unwanted guest because that will make things extremely weird and may potentially ruin this event. That’s precisely why you should never assume anything, but make sure to talk to the celebrant first before sending any invitations.

Determine A Budget

Budget for sure plays a major role in these types of events. Therefore, you should openly discuss with everyone involved to see how much they are willing to spend on this trip, simply to avoid any last-minute cancellations.

After all, you should pick a place that is lovely, and entertaining, yet that can be afforded by everyone. And that’s precisely what Galway is. It is an idyllic city in Ireland, known for its wonderful people, vibrant atmosphere, and various celebrations, festivals, and events.

You can’t get better than that right? The point is to select something that’s perfect for these types of celebrations, yet relatively cost-effective. Another important factor that affects the budget besides location is the length of the trip.

How many days are you planning to spend at a particular place? Will it be one night away, or maybe more? Before you determine anything, first talk to the guys so you can confirm the daily amount of money you’ll be spending.

For instance, if your budget for one day is $50, and they can afford no more than $200 in total, then you should book a four-day trip. The whole point of this is to reduce the chance of overspending.

Timing Is Everything!

At first glance, you may think you have a lot of time on your hands to plan things, but the truth is, time flies so fast so you need to act fast if you want to make sure that everything is organized on time. So what steps are you supposed to take?

• Take at least several weeks to coordinate everything. Bear in mind that you will need a lot of time to book flights, accommodation, etc.
• Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that this party shouldn’t occur just a few days before the wedding. After all, the groom needs to have some time to “recover” from this event and to prepare both physically and mentally for the wedding. Looking all drained and exhausted (from the party) is not the most pleasant sight at the wedding, right?

Generally speaking, booking early is always recommendable. Firstly, because you’ll be able to grab the best deals, and secondly because you will have lots of time to handle any last-minute cancellations or changes. 

Therefore, you should most definitely throw a stag at least two to three weeks before the wedding, so that everyone who’s attending can have a lot of time to “recuperate” and prepare themselves for the big day. 

Don’t Forget Some Awesome Activities!

Now that you’re done with all tasks regarding accommodation, location, guests, and many other things, it’s time to focus on the most interesting part of this event – activities. It’s always advisable to think of something that’s entertaining and dynamic.

But before you select anything, you should first talk to your buddies and see what they find to be most appealing, otherwise, you’ll be dealing with guests who will be bored to the core. 

To your best buddy, this is for sure one of the most exciting days of his life, which is why you must take this role (as a planner) seriously. If you want everything to work super perfectly then be sure to follow everything that’s been mentioned here.
