How to plan a Stag Do and make it EPIC!!!

1. Book the Stag Party activities early.

2. Don’t wait for staggers to confirm.

3. Get the key Stag members to agree on a budget.

4. Get them to show you the money, the earlier the better.

5. A kitty is a wonderful thing.

6. Beware of crap activities. There are loads of grim suppliers just waiting to rip you off.

7. Using an agent will take the stress out of organization.

8. It will also eliminate the gamble of trying to find the best activities in any Stag location in New Zealand

9. Some members of the public love Stags. Some don’t….. Behave accordingly.

10. This Stag Do is your right as a red blooded male; you have a grand tradition to up hold. Don’t waste it!

 

So first, the earlier you book your Stag Do activities and accommodation the better your choices. Simple.

• Get the date of the stag weekend, burn it on your skull and remember it, no matter what. We recommend booking between 3 and 4 months in advance is enough time to sort out a great stag do. If you’ve already left it later than this – we’ve been known to pull off miracles – give us a call, and let us work out magic,
• Another advantage of booking early is securing accommodation in the city centre and being within spitting distance of the night life rather than out in the middle of nowhere forking out all your money on cabs.
• Send out emails to your potential stag crew and put strict deadlines for responses. Then book with your definite numbers. It’s about a billion times easier to add a few to your crew than wait and book a big group at late notice.

 

It’s all very well to book early, but how do I book if I’ve no idea where I’m going?

• Good point. This is why the smart people use agents. We’ve been there, done that and bought the t-shirt at so many locations and activities that they’re pretty much walking Weekend do’ encyclopedias. Want to know where to do the most extreme quad biking, how lap dancers compare between Tauranga and Dunedin, or the best way to maximise your hard earned cash? Stag Do NZ will tell you.
• We’ve also got mountains of feedback from people just like you so we know which activity combinations are  legendary. In many ways an agent takes the gamble out of your choice, we’ve been there so we’ll give you the low down.
• Now the best thing to remember is the whole point of a Stag Do is for the groom’s best mates to gather round him before the most important day of his life. The point isn’t to pressure those mates into a 3 day no expenses spared extravaganza.
• So get key people and closest friends for the Stag himself. Then decide how much money you’re likely to have and how to make it stretch into the most fun possible. This will determine which locations will give you the best value for money.

 

So you’ve sorted dates and locations? Now get them to show you the money!

• Now this is probably the worst part of the job but also the most important. Again give strict deadlines. 
• Some of the more organized Stag crews even set up a kitty for when they’re out on the weekend. We like the sound of that. You’ll like the sound if it too as it means that you’ll never get stuck with a hundred dollar round no matter how pissed you get!
• If you’re heading overseas for your Stag Do, don’t forget to take photocopies of your passport with you and even leave a photocopy in NZ. After all losing your passport is not like losing your keys. Go prepared.

 

You’re a bunch of guys on a Stag Do, remember plenty of people and places love you but plenty hate you too!

• We know it’s difficult to believe, but it’s true. Some people just don’t dig big groups of guys. So take our advice and spend your cash in places that welcome the vibe.
• It’s always a bad move to rock up to a club without VIP or guest list entry or at the very least pre-paid entry. A group of a dozen guys on a Stag Do without a booking is the best way to invite serious bouncer attitude. Stag Do NZ has great relationships with the hottest, most stag friendly clubs. Why take chances?
• Always, always, always find out How To Plan a Stag Do and what the dress code is, before heading out. If donning a collared shirt is all it takes to drink and dance the night away with your mates, then for the love of god just wear the friggin’ shirt.

 

Choose your Activities like your friends:

• Unfortunately not all activity suppliers were born equal. There are some places that offer high octane activities with brilliant facilities in great locations. There are others that simply exist to rip off people just like you. Stag Do NZ don’t waste time sending people on rubbish activities, we source the cream of the crop in every city and send you there.

 

And finally…..in ‘How To Plan a Stag Do’, Choose your agent like you’d choose your future wife

• Cheesy but true. When choosing the agent who will handle your Stag Do, you will want people who really care that you’ll have the best possible time. You’ll want to deal with people who’ll listen to your needs and make valuable suggestions based on a wealth of experience.
