Making sure that every aspect of your hen or stag weekend goes perfectly means getting the planning right from day one. To help you plot the best course for you and your guests, why not learn from the mistakes of others and open a simple Hen or Stag Weekend bank account, into which everyone pays a communally-agreed regular amount by standing order This money then being used to pay off each person's outstanding weekend balance by the given deadline (usually one month prior). There are more than enough stresses around the wedding plans to let any easily-avoidable impracticalities disrupt the enjoyment of your weekend; and, by taking such a step, you will receive nothing but the thanks of every guest at the onset of your special weekend, each one glad to have paid for their attendance gradually and painlessly, as opposed to an enforced last-minute dip into their individual spending money.
Make your Stag or Hen Night (or weekend) memorable. Visit a foreign city, spend the day paint-balling, get pampered in a spa, be taken to the theatre by limousine; you make the rules. And tradition dictates that you must be surrounded by alcoholic drinks, especially champagne for the ladies, and for the boys to get extremely drunk on anything!
