Introduction
With expert guidance, organizing a stag do can be easy and manageable. To help you get started, we have compiled a list of the top 10 tips to manage your stag party.
Who’s going?
The first thing to do is make a list of all the men who might be attending the stag party. Do not make assumptions about who you should invite. Instead, talk to the Stag about his preferences. Is he looking for friends or a relationship with his father? A father-in-law who is not wanted could have devastating consequences for the stag weekend. Don’t assume that you can make an ass of me and you. The humiliation is for the Stag!
Many groups now choose to host a local stag do. Then they have the mental stag weekend where everyone is welcome, and the lads can relax and let loose.
Budget
This is not just about organizing a piss-up for your mate. You’ll have many people who will be invited with different tastes and budgets. You might consider setting a price range with your Stag. He will know who is going and what the men can afford.
The best thing about booking with The Stag’s Balls? You can design the perfect package. The guys can also opt out of any activity they don’t like or don’t need, and they don’t even have to pay. The group members can tailor the package to their needs.
You’re going to be a stag party leader
It is important to decide whether you want to go to the USA or stay home. It’s easy to jump on a plane to travel to Europe via budget airlines. The best part is that many of Europe’s stag-friendly cities are very affordable. These are some things to remember when booking your destination:
How much is it going to cost to get there? You should also consider whether the area will be crowded with tourists at that time of year, which could increase travel and accommodation costs. You don’t have to be a snob when you want to impress local women.
Is the place accepting of your Stag do? While most major cities in Europe, Ireland, and the UK are fairly understanding, it is not always so. We are happy to help you make a decision about the destination.
Is it possible for everyone to travel overseas? Stag parties abroad usually last for at least 2 nights, so it might be difficult for some to take time off from work to travel. It is important to confirm before you go.
Is there a language barrier? There are many stag parties where English is not the primary language. It is an advantage to have a local guide to help you navigate the area and ensure that nobody is left in awkward situations with the locals. They are beautiful guides that can be found in most EU countries. Although the package is slightly more expensive, it’s well worth it!
Activities for all tastes
It’s important to understand who is being invited, just as it is with the budget. You already know the interests of the Stag and his friends. You should also consider whether they are competitive and enjoy stag parties like paintball or karting.
Maybe they are bright and enjoy brain-stimulating games such as Escape Rooms. Here, you and your Stag do have to solve various puzzles in order to escape a locked room that has different themes. You can also combine classic stag activities like drinking with a variety of beer tours or peddle bus tours.
You don’t have to think of any activity ideas if you are having trouble coming up with ideas. Check out our destination pages to see all the great options for stag parties. Popular activities for stag parties include quad biking, paintball, and karting.
Stag, pay for it
It is becoming more common for other guests of the stag party to contribute to the Stag’s expenses. Each person usually pays between EUR 10 and EUR 15. This is a small amount and a nice gesture to show your support before your friend spends a lot of money on the old ball and chains. You’ll need to think about other people’s finances. Fort Knox is an example of an old miser who protects his money.

Surprise guests
Is the groom’s father or worse, the bride planning to attend? If you feel particularly malicious, you can book a stripper to groan on your mate and keep small talk with the soon-to-be father-in-law. The Stag’s BallsHQ loves a good tale of best men ending the Stag! Be aware that the father of the bride might not appreciate the gesture and may snap his…uh…finger off along with the engagement rings!
He may also appreciate eye candy. We may never know!
Costumes for a stag party
They’re everywhere. The large-than-life Stag in the most outrageous mankini trundles along the high streets of the city center wearing a gorgeous lime green mankini. It leaves little to the imagination. This poor man may be your mate, as he experiences one final act of “not-so-friendly” banter. You can also choose a more elegant choice, and find a beautiful dress that will complement the Stag’s moobs.
You should research before you go fancy dress. Not all venues are open to fancy dress. You can check with venues and the team at The Stag’s Balls Headquarters to ensure you’re not outside in the rain while everyone else is inside.
Be considerate during winter. We don’t recommend that a lad freeze his pecker just to have a laugh!
Nightclub guest lists
Book nightclub entry if you plan on clubbing. Some nightclubs do not allow stag parties. Bouncers can smell a man’s last weekend in freedom from a mile. It’s a good idea to remind them of how much business they’ll bring in, and that their mates will behave accordingly.
We work with top nightclubs to ensure that your group doesn’t have to deal with any bouncers. We can not only arrange entrance but often shots and reserved areas are also included.
Have fun!
Last but not least, have fun and ensure your mate has an unforgettable stag do. He’ll make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that you all have a great time.
The bride may be in trouble if you do a great job.
