Top 5 Stag Do Ideas

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

A stag night is a fun packed experience at in which a guy celebrates his last days as a bachelor. The key to a good stag night is choosing the right types of activities – activities that complement each other and give the night zest and spirit. Another way to spice up the night is to buy stag presents for the stag as well as novelties and mementos to commemorate the occasion.

Stag night novelties are fun gift items to give to the guy the stag party is for. These items are ones that are designed especially to be stag night presents. These can be any ordinary sort of novelty like T shirts, sunglasses, or beer mugs that relate in some way to the stag party theme. There are stores and internet sites that sell these items and they are a great touch to add to the stag party.

The following are 5 popular stag night activities that you can consider:

Paint Ball

Paint ball is one of the most popular stag party activities. It is active, fun, takes aim and strategy, and is fairly easy to arrange. While often considered a daytime activity, you may be able to find paintball places that are open at night. You can certainly do this activity in the late afternoon leading up to the night itself. You can consider buying the stag a paintball gun of his own for the occasion or buying paint ball guns or souvenirs to take home.

Casinos

Casinos are another very popular stag night activity. This is a good kick off for the night. You and your buddies can hit the casinos and see if you can win some money that you can then spend anywhere you go afterwards. And as most people know, casinos often have great bars and restaurants themselves. Whether you end up spending the whole night at a casino is up to you. But casinos will most likely prove a lot of fun for you and your friends on a stag night. Casinos offer many souvenirs as well.

Night Clubs and Dance Clubs

Going to night clubs and dance clubs are another popular and classic stag night activity. There are always lots of girls at dance clubs, so be careful that the stag doesn’t get carried away with someone other than his betrothed. You can choose dance clubs that have a specific theme, such as Hollywood, tropical islands, and so forth. Or you can just hop from club to club and get a taste of the local nightclub scene.

Comedy

Comedy clubs are a great way to get the guys into a laughing mood on stag night. If there are good comics at the club, they will most likely have you splitting your sides within a short time. Comedy clubs may be a bit harder to find than other kinds, but there are a number of them in most towns and cities. Be sure and get tickets in advance if the comic is an especially popular one.

Shooting

Shooting at targets is another good lead in to the stag night itself. And again, you may be able to find shooting galleries that are open fairly late. These shooting galleries may be your basic target practice type, or they may be something more along the lines of clay pigeon shooting. Keep safety in mind and make sure that it doesn’t get too raucous.

Make your stag party memorable by planning the activities well and keeping them varied. Buy great gifts such as novelties items like inflatable cows or a drinking game for the guy who the party is for as this will make him feel liked and appreciated. You can buy some souvenirs during the evening as well so that you all have something to remember from your buddy’s last night of bachelorhood. Don’t spend all night at one location. Hop around a little bit, do different sorts of activities, and get a sense of momentum in which one activity leads into another.

How to Create the Perfect Hen Night

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

 When a friend is getting married, it’s likely one of the biggest and most important days of her life. Planning a fantastic hen night is a way to celebrate the commitment she is about to make, and the new stage in her life that is beginning. There are many hen night ideas to make sure that her hen night is a great experience for all.

One fun hen night idea is to recreate the fun and popular slumber parties from years ago. Get together the bride to be and all of her friends, and have a slumber party, just like old times. This can be a fun way to relive old memories and feel young again. Ask each guest to bring some old pictures, and go through memories together. Slumber party activites can range from painting nails to eating junk food to a classic game of Truth or Dare, or anything you can come up with.

For more adventurous, outdoorsy brides, it might be a fun idea to try something new and exciting, and there are many hen night ideas that fall into this category. A hen night that involves camping, kayaking, or rock climbing is a fun way to spend time with friends, and is quite the rush, as well. The bride to be is certainly never going to forget it.

If the bride and her friends all have an activity they all enjoy, it could be fun to do that activity once again together. For example, if they all used to be on a basketball team together, have a basketball night. Relive past games, and find a place where everyone can play together again. If a future bride and her friends were all in choir or band together, they could get together and play music, or enjoy a concert of music they all enjoy.

Of course, going out to dinner is a hen night staple. This is a very common and easy idea that doesn’t require lot of time or energy to plan. To make the evening extra special, consider going to a place in a different city, or a place that no one has been to before. This will ensure that the night stands out in everyone’s memory.

Another option is to have an evening in enjoying a hobby that everyone likes to do. For example, if the future bride and her friends all enjoy baking, they could get together and bake an assortment of treats. Crafty women would enjoy making a scrapbook of their friendship, or of the hen night itself. The hen night ideas are endless!

No matter what the event entails, there is always the opportunity to purchase hen and stag presents to show the future bride and groom support and encouragement for their decision. There are many different great stag and hen presents that will help show just how special an occasion the wedding is. It’s often a fun idea to get a future bride new lingerie that will help add some spice to her wedding night and many nights to come in her marriage. Other fun ideas might include lubricants or massage oils, or other sensual gifts. A more risky gift such as a sex toy is sure to get a reaction from everyone at the hen’s night. These are just a few of the hen’s night out gift ideas that are sure to make the night one to remember.
