What Makes A Great Stag Do?

May 11th, 2012

With the stag do season well and truly kicking off and many hundreds of thousands of partygoers hitting popular stag destinations worldwide, what makes a good stag do?

First and foremost your mates, everyone should be in good spirits and excited about a boys weekend away with their close buddies, so make sure they are all kept up to date with what’s going on and where you’re going as this will make everyone feel part of the group.

Lots to do in the day is also a good sign of a great stag weekend, if the guys want to drink all day you may find quite a few peaking by 4pm and not showing up for the evening’s entertainments, so try and book a stag daytime activity or two to keep the boys in check.

Bars and clubs booked for the evening will also help your stag do go off without a hiccup, the last thing you want to be doing is walking around a city at 10.30pm looking for a venue for your large group of lads to get into, so book your clubs and bars in advance.

Make sure the stag has a great weekend; after all he is the reason why you are celebrating.

JLS Stag Do Moves On To Miami

May 8th, 2012

The JLS Stag Do as it’s named in the tabloids has now moved on from Las Vegas to Miami.

They have been pictured partying on a yacht with bikini clad women, drinking and generally having a fantastic time.

Marvin is also pictured having a message from one of the girls but I think Rochelle has nothing to worry about, as he actually looked quite awkward.

So to stop this stag do news blog sounding like a gossip magazine the boys look like they are having the mother of all stag dos.

Partying it up in Las Vegas, then moving on to a yacht in Miami, a stag do fit for a king.

We would like to wish Marvin and Rochelle all the luck in the world.

To All Budding Best Men

May 4th, 2012

Depending on how the wedding is set up, usually the best man doesn’t have too many jobs, the speech, looking after the rings oh and arranging the stag do.

The stag do should be your first job as most of your tasks will be on the big day, so don’t let your best mate down by falling at the first hurdle.

Find out what he wants to do, where he wants to go and who he would like to attend and get on with it.

As they say ‘there is no time like the present’ (unless he is getting married in 2014, if that’s the case you have a bit of time!).

Don’t leave it to the last minute, as some people need to get time off work, save up and get the permission from their wags!!

Whatever you do, start as you mean to go on and grab the job of ‘arranging the best stag do known to man’ by the horns and give DesignaVenture a call.

It will probably the best call you will make all year, unless you have to call Camelot regarding your winning ticket, that is.

Marvin Humes and a 5 Cent Dwarf

May 3rd, 2012

JLS have kicked off their marathon 8 day stag do in true American Bachelor style by handcuffing the Groom To Be, Marvin Humes to a dwark called 5 cent.

They then added further embarrassment to Marvin by handcuffing him to a stag party favourite dwarf, 5 cent and then hitting the town.

The group and their friends have been seen by the pool relaxing and posing for group shots and generally having a great time.

Oritse is the main stag do organiser, orchestrating the stag do pranks and according to a national tabloid he has brought with him a goodie bag to embarrass pore Marvin even more.

There will probably more stag do stories from this sensational 8 day stag do in America so watch this space.

Another Stag Do For Charity

April 26th, 2012

We love good news stag do stories and love to spread the word on how amazing most of the British stags really are.

Andy Bond of High Green had no ordinary stag do, he drove with three of his pals in an old banger from Sheffield to Benidorm dressed as characters from Starsky and Hutch.

The amazing bit is they managed to raise more than £2k for the Macmillan and Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice in North Anston.

Andy, a production engineer married bride Kate Miller advised a local newspaper reporter “I do enjoy a good night out but I wanted to do something different”.

“It’s something I have always wanted to do and getting married is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I thought this could be another” he added.

The three pals who accompanied him to Benidorm in a 16 year old Vauxhall Astra included his brother Richard Bond, Paul Haresign and David Neil.

We at DesignaVenture would like to wish Andy and Katie all the luck in the world and to the other three guys, we applaud you.

Indoor Karting A Perfect Stag Activity For Any Weather

April 25th, 2012

All you have to do is look outside your window and it feels like it’s been raining for months, it’s only been weeks, I promised.

However, if you don’t like getting wet on your stag do then indoor karting is the perfect stag activity.

Depending on which track you go to you usually find over 10 karts racing head to head with onboard computers giving fastest lap, average speed and number of laps data – so there’s no cheating!

Most tracks also run heats, with semi finals and a final for winners and losers so you’ll get the full podium finish with bubbly and possibly a load of banter from the other stag party members.

Indoor karting is a great stag activity whatever the weather, a stag do is also a great place for competitive soles to get their competition fix.
