Without law and order, without rules and structure, without proper guidance and boundaries in place then the world soon falls into chaos and disharmony, a land of anger, riots, carefree whimsy and poetry where anything goes. Without clear rules we might as well all be French!
Here in jolly old Blighty we have always been upholders of fair play. We have always been sticklers for the rules and doing the right thing, we say "please" and "thank you", we stand well back from the edge of the platform, we drive on the correct side of the road, and we're so good at queuing that if they made it an Olympic sport we'd take the gold every time.
And your stag should be no different. Rules gentlemen, we need rules. As Hayden Fry once said “In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.” ‘tis the same with your stag chaps, so here is our run down of the revered stag do rules.

...is you do not talk about the stag do!
You do not talk about the stag do!
Except when you're organising it or are re-telling the embarrassing story of how (X) ended up in (X) with the (X) stuck on his (X).
Unless explicitly agreed upon by all present, under no circumstance should any stag take a photo. Any stag who breaks this should have his embarrassing baby, teenage, fashion fail photos nailed to every tree in town upon your return.
PS. If however you do break the rule we'd love to see those embarrassing photos. Tweet us @stagweb
Even adding photos into your stag group Facebook page can be a risky business, something that was harmless fun at the time can result in serious relationship strife when viewed by someone's missus out of context.

Failure to rise to the occasion could lead to a stag not only being regarded as “a bit of a girl” but could also see him paying a forfeit.
All outside influences such as work, kids, mortgages and life can and should be left at the door. They will still be there when you get back but this weekend, suit up and have fun.
No man should end the night without returning his round to the rest of the lads. Come on, no one likes a stingy 'bast@rd'.
This weekend is about the main man, NOT an excuse for single stags to chase local maids in an attempt to bump uglies with any poor girl drunk enough to entertain him.
Any man who cannot pack all his shaving kit and hair products into a single bag is clearly a bit of a girl and should be sent to join the hen party.
Looking good should never hamper a good time, therefore except in your hotel rooms any stag caught looking at himself in any mirror or reflective surface must pay a £1 Prima Donna fine which shall be added to the stag kitty.
"You have to learn the rules of the game.
And then you have to play better than anyone else."
Albert Einstein
There you have it. Remember, if any lads break the stag do rules then proper punishments must be handed out. After all, this is your big weekend and it doesn't need to be held back by preen-a-donnas spending ages on a Jedward hair-do.
Without law and order, without rules and structure, without proper guidance and boundaries, the world soon falls into chaos and disharmony, a land of anger, riots, carefree whimsy and poetry where anything goes. Without clear rules we might as well all be French!
