The organisation of the stag party is handled by the best man, that is, the groom’s witness. Of course, nothing prevents the invited guests from dividing the responsibilities among themselves and organising the whole event together.
When should a stag party be held? Most often it is 1-2 weeks before the wedding. Preparations though begin about two weeks before the planned evening – or even earlier. At that time, the guest list is determined, the venue is booked and all other steps are taken to organise an unforgettable stag party. When determining the list, it is a good idea to ensure that guests confirm their attendance. This will make it easier to book seats and calculate the potential cost of the event.
Speaking of costs… They are usually covered by the groom. Practice shows, however, that very often part of the expenses are borne by the witness and invited guests – possibly funding something special for the groom.
What does one do at a stag party? Ideas vary – among the most popular are:
It is a very good idea to organise a stag party at a place that offers at least several attractions. One such a place is Mystery Machinery – puzzle room centre It offers 9 puzzle rooms – each with a different theme. If someone is not fond of Escape Rooms, they can rent board games and play to their heart’s content. Adrenaline lovers, on the other hand, can enjoy the 300-meter Laser Tag Arena – a great choice for fans of tactical games and “shooters”. In addition, you can spend your stag party at Mystery Machinery, playing in the VR Arena. This is a virtual reality zone, which you can move to with the HTC Vive Focus 3 wireless goggles. Of course, the arena also has an escape room!
A stag party at Mystery Machinery can’t go without snacks and drinks. This is also something to keep in mind when arranging the “last evening of the groom’s freedom” – so make sure the venue you choose has a catering area.
