The 4 Biggest Mistakes When Booking A Stag Do

Contrary to popular belief, arranging a stag do is easy.

However, arranging a bad stag do is even easier. The difference? Planning.

Poor planning (or no planning at all) is a surefire way to spoil the groom's big weekend away. If you think you can just turn up in a destination and 'see what happens,' your event will unravel faster than you can say, 'I should've booked with StagWeb!'

... don't be that guy.

And by letting us take care of all the boring admin and logistical details, it frees you up to focus on the fun aspects like how you're going to prank the groom and what hilarious drinking games you'll use to get everyone in the party zone!

Well, however you do choose to book, be sure you avoid these 4 huge mistakes stags often make when arranging the groom's big send-off!

The 4 Biggest Stag Do Planning Mistakes

1. Mr Can't-Be-A***d

Attitude: Doesn't really want the hassle, so just books something cheap and easy: 'Yeah, that'll do!'

Outcome:

You miss a great chance to do something memorable
The groom won't be happy his big weekend has been ruined
All the lads feel let down and annoyed that their hard-earned cash was wasted
You keep having to buy drinks to appease the growing anger
And, eventually, you find yourself strapped naked to a lamppost and never invited down the boozer again

2. Mr I'll-Do-It-Tomorrow

Attitude: Has good intentions, but he's about as organised as a drunk toddler. He will inevitably leave everything until the last minute with dire consequences.

Outcome:

While more organised stags are partying in Prague, you and the guys are camping in a field just off the M25 as you try to convince them it's a 'Bear Grylls weekend'
As well as making like a bear and having to s*** in the woods, the groom will also point out (repeatedly) what a s*** time he's having
All the lads feel let down and annoyed that their hard-earned cash was wasted
You keep having to buy drinks to appease the growing anger
And, eventually, you find yourself strapped naked to a lamppost and never invited down the boozer again

3. Mr Hit-&-Hope

Attitude: Works on the assumption that as long as everyone brings their passport, toothbrush and wallet, then it'll all work itself out.

Outcome:

It absolutely doesn't work itself out
You're all walking round a random city none of you know, trying to find something interesting to do
You finally find something interesting to do, turns out it's a scam, and you spend the rest of the afternoon being chased by a mob of angry stags

4. Mr DIY

Attitude: I'll sort it all out on my own, how hard can it be?

Outcome:

Goes solo and books everything without the safety net of using a company
A few of the guys flake out at the last minute and you're unable to get your money back
Arrive at the accommodation only to find out they don't accept stag dos
Didn't consider how far the activities were from each other and there's no way you're doing them all
Didn't plan anywhere to eat and now you're desperately trying to find a restaurant that can accept a group of 16 hungry stags on a busy Saturday night at no notice
Finally get to the front of the line at the club only to be turned away at the door because they don't allow stag dos

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
