Nail Your Best Man’s Speech

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Being a best man is more than just the stag do, you have another important role to fulfill, the dreaded best man’s speech.

Here are a few tips on how to nail yours:

Don’t just stick to your speech – show flexibility and if you can bring a story from the day, this will show fresh content and also show you haven’t just downloaded the speech from the net.

Keep Calm and Carry On – Take in a deep breath to calm the nerves and go through the speech slowly and surely, making damn sure you bang those jokes / stories out clearly in order to maximize laughter. Once you get the crowd on your side you’ve made it.

Stories from the stag do should be funny and clean, remember the old saying what goes on tour, stays on tour.

Short is Sweet – give yourself 5 minutes as any longer people get fidgety and want to get to the bar.

Finally – you are the best man so make sure you live up to your name, be on hand so you can help if things stray from the master-plan.

Best Men Watch Out For Football Manager Syndrome

Monday, February 13th, 2012

The majority of Premier League football managers have a very short shelf life and some don’t even make it to the end of the season, so Best Men Be Aware and don’t get sacked before the stag do.

It’s a huge honour being asked to be a best man and organising the stag do should be the highlight, so do a decent job or you might get the sack.

First things first, I would suggest you use a professional stag do organiser such as DesignaVenture, they will make your job 90% easier.

Secondly, make sure he has a great stag weekend, be his wing man, if he wants a drink make sure he gets one, if he needs food urgently, get yourself to Macdonalds and feed him, if he needs to make a phone call ask which make of smart phone he would like to use, you get me drift.

Thirdly, what goes on tour, stays on tour – make sure no stories gets back to the bride about the stag do, I am not talking about unfaithful behaviour, I am talking about other stories which may freak her out, 99% of stags stay faithful so stick that in your pipe and smoke it Daily Mail readers.

Fourthly, as Best man your job is more then just arranging the stag do, namely looking after the Bridesmaids, enough said.

Extremely Tough Stag Do

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Most stag dos include a couple of daytime activities and then a life time of booze, drunk in one weekend.

But not Paul Hamilton’s stag event, oh no, he’s going to divid his stag group into two teams to compete in a 31 mile bike race around the Brecon Beacons, a 7 mile canoe and then a SAS style 24km walk across the beacons with a 32lb of weight on their backs.

According to the Northern Echo, Paul Hamilton’s is no ordinary groom and nor is his best man Michael Dicks.

Paul is about to compete in a top class Premier League Thai Boxing fight and world title bid.

And Michael Dicks is Paul’s best man is also his trainer!

Each member of the stag party will be paying for their own share of the trip but will also be raising money for the NSPCC.

This is currently a new trend happening in the UK, some grooms are swapping their drinking trouser for a stag do for charity.

We at DesignaVenture want to wish Paul Hamilton, his best man and stag party all the luck in the world and HOPE the weather on 28th February is good.

The Art of Getting The Stag Do Right

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Take 12 lads from Liverpool, a stag weekend in Prague with flights, transfers, accommodation and guides what could possibly go wrong.

Well, if you have all the essentials booked then things are looking up, you don’t have worry to much about logistics and not knowing where to go at night, the guides will take care of that.

However, take 12 lads from Hartlepool, flights and accommodation booked and every thing else is left to chance, “let’s play by ear” the best man said.

Everything starts well, get to the airport a few beers and board, once at Prague airport, “how come our cab cost eighty euros and every one else’s cost forty?” the best man asks.

“Right to the night life” the best man shouts, “where is it then?”

Moral of the story is, with a stag do, don’t leave anything to chance, get things booked and sorted, especially in a foreign city, also get a guide, you’ll be lost without one.
