Hi all!

 

Only one day left until the wedding of the year! Happy Dance

 

We've had a few interesting discussions already about weddings and your experiences, including:

 

We covered a lot of different aspects of your ideal wedding but forgot the important(?) thing that usually happens beforehand - the stag/hen do! chicken

 

What would your stag/hen do be like?

Separate parties for bride and groom, or a "hag" (or "stan") do together?

What location?

Fancy dress or normal clothes?

What would you like for entertainment?

Any party games you'd like to play?

Would you like to be surprised or know in advance what's coming?

 

Let us know what you'd prefer! Smiley Very Happy

When my wife and I got married, we had separate parties.
I went go karting and then "out out".
The hen party went "out out".
We wore normal clothes, while they had some fancy dress.
In terms of games, nothing really happened on the stag or hen and both of us knew what was planned.

Both of these seem to be classics @gmarkj, a few of my friends had the same kind of plans slight_smile 

 

I've only heard of one conjoined hen/stag do, it was more like a casual friends dinner than a special event. I think I'd personally like to maybe start the evening seperately but then have the stag and hen groups meet up - after all, the more the merrier smiling 

 

Oh, and surprise activities! I'm not one for surprises, but if ever, that is a good time to let my friends organise something fun and unexpected!

Very conventional

Me with a half a dozen mates on a pub crawl by car....no breathalyser in those days!

The missus to be on a pub crawl and nightclub infancy dress. Our paths crossed twice in the pub and the palais ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Made it to the church and through our vows though some of it was a bit of a blur!

I wouldn't mind a surprise but nothing embarrassing please! Some delicious food would be nice and something cool for entertainment, @gmarkj go karting is an awesome idea! Maybe some cocktails too but perhaps not at the same time. @EmilieT I like your idea about separate groups meeting up later on. slight_smile The paths crossing in the pub, was it intentional @jonsie or a coincidence? grin

Mine was such a blur. LOL

Friends took me out for drinks. Nowhere local, I think they hired a mini bus.

 

I didn't realise how much they were mixing my drinks.....I was absolutely legless. Thank god it was a week before the wedding. I think I was pretty much comatose for 48hrs LOL

 

My husband was far more civilised. His best man lived in Luton along with a lot of his family. They could only come down on the Thursday before the wedding. My dad was invited and I think paid for the lot.

 

Dad wouldn't tell me what went on ...he said it was none of my business. All I do know is they weren't as legless as the hen do...Happy Dance

I can't believe anyone likes the Royal family. Not only are they leeches, but they were good friends with Jimmy Savile. Diana hated them too.

There were a lot of people who were friends with Jimmy Savile before they found out about him

As for Diana (who I loved) she did hate them....but she was the one who brought changes to the monarchy and gave birth to two beautiful lads who are a credit to her. I have no doubt Harry and Meghan will bring more changes to the stuffiness of the monarchy of years ago. Their wedding proved that @Korkmaz
