Passport Expiration

If you’re heading abroad, you need to make sure that your passports have at least six months left on it. This is due to the new immigration controls now that the UK has left the European Union. If you have less than six months left, you won’t be getting to your beautiful stag do location anytime soon!

Whether you're the best man scrambling to put together a memorable send-off or the groom-to-be himself realising time is running out, we've got you covered. Let us break down the essentials of planning a legendary stag do, even when you're down to the wire.

How far in advance image

When it comes to planning a stag do, timing is crucial. But who said you can't be fashionably late? Ideally, you'd want to start plotting the epicness at least four to six months in advance. That gives you lots of time to secure your dream activities and make sure that every guy in your crew can clear their schedule for the ultimate night or weekend of fun.

If you’ve left it to the last minute, don’t worry! A last minute stag do can still be a total success, even with just a month or two’s planning or even weeks. Believe it or not, a successful stag do can still be executed with just a couple of weeks' notice. Once you’ve decided on a date, move quickly to get things arranged. But this all depends on the availability of your activities and accommodation as these can sell out quickly.

Top 10 Tips for Last Minute Stag Weekends

Consider a midweek bash for better availability, be open to spontaneous destinations, and remember, a stag do isn't about the planning—it's about the memories you'll be laughing about for years to come. So, whether you're the best man, the groom, or just a legendary wingman, grab that calendar, rally the troops, and get ready for a stag do that'll go down in the history books! Cheers to last-minute madness!

Embrace Spontaneity

Last minute stag parties are all about being spontaneous and being comfortable with it. Think go with the flow vibes rather than stress! This is not the time for a meticulously detailed itinerary. Let the stag do unfold organically.

Make a Group Chat

Get the gang together as soon as possible. Start a group chat and invite everyone you want to come to the stag do. It's crucial to involve the key players in the decision making process. You can either keep it all secret from the groom-to-be or include him. After all, this is his last hurrah as a single man, and his input will ensure the stag do is tailored to his taste.

Set a Date Quickly

Once you’ve got everyone together, either in person or via message, arrange a date ASAP. You can do a quick poll to find the date when most people are free. Figure out how much everyone is willing to chip in as quickly as possible and set a realistic budget for your stag do. Keep in mind that last minute bookings might come with a premium with things like accommodation, so it's wise to be upfront about how much money this will cost from the get-go.

Stick to the Budget

As you’re arranging things last minute, the chaos can make it tempting to throw money at the issue in order to get things booked, rather than making sure you’re getting the most value for your money. Remember to agree on a budget with your mates and to respect and stick to it.

Be Flexible with Location

If your heart is set on a particular destination, it’s a good idea to be open to nearby alternatives. Proximity to a major city or popular tourist spot can often give you more options for last-minute accommodation and activities. If you’re planning things last minute, it’s probably easier to not go too far afield as you’ll cut down on travel time which might be easier to arrange. A bit of spontaneity in choosing a location can lead to unexpected adventures.

Avoid Summer

The most popular time of year to book stag do activities is between January and March, and the most popular time of year to hold your stag do is between July and September.

Consider a Midweek Party

The key is to be flexible and creative. If the schedule allows it, you could consider a midweek bash, as venues and accommodation might be more readily available than on a weekend. We understand that this might always be possible or desirable. After all, who wants to go into work the day after a stag do?

Choose Unconventional Activities

Because this is a late stag do, you might find that the activities you wanted to do have already been booked. So, why not try something different and unconventional? These kinds of activities might be more likely to have availability once the classic stag activities have been booked up.

Choose a Theme

This is an easy way to inject some extra fun into the stag do if you’re celebrating late in the day. Whether it's dressing up as superheroes or embracing a retro 80s vibe, a theme can add an extra layer of enjoyment for everyone. Just make sure to choose something it’s easy to find an outfit for. Plus, it makes for some epic photos.
