Stag Do Manual

Here is your ultimate stag do manual, treat it like the Bible it really is to create the best stag do of all time:

1) Consider how many people will be attending the stag do, the norm is around 10-12 mates. Don’t invite someone “to make up the numbers” as it could make things incredibly awkward between them and the groom to be. You also need to consider the activity you are hoping to do, as there is no point in invited 20 stags to a white water ride if there party numbers should only be ten, unless you are willing to split up the party.

2) Number two on the stag do manual is to set the date. The sooner you do this the better, it is advisable to leave a two week cooling period between the wedding and the stag do, just in case the groom gets lost for example.

3) Remember that not everyone is gifted with a lot of money, so if you are blessed with a lot of money, or another stag is, there is no point in showing off as it will do you no favours. Saying that, you are the one who needs to set the budget, and if you do this early then it could allow those wanting to be part of the stag party to save up for the celebrations.

4) Fourth on the stag do manual is to find the most financially responsible member of the group and ask him nicely if he can be the treasurer. They can then collect the money for the stag fund as you sort out more pressing issues such as who is finding the worst prank to play on the un-knowing groom.
