Plan a Stag Party

We are not a travel agent so we won’t try to sell you a stag weekend package deal, but Wigadoo can remove the pain and hassle of planning a stag party. We know organising a stag do can be a major headache; you need to arrange your friends, get them to commit to a date and collect their cash so you’re not left out of pocket. Here’s the best way to do it:

Plan a stag party

Organising steps:

  • Fix the Dates. When are the best dates to go? Put some dates to your group and find out. Arrange dates.
  • Decide on activities. Find out what everyone wants to do on the stag, think of some ideas and find out with the vote tool.
  • Create an invite. Once you know what you want to do, like the best date and cost per head. Then you should invite your friends to the stag do and collect the money from them individually up front so you can pay for it. Create an invite and Plan the stag do

Help and advice with planning a Stag Do

Do your Homework

  • Advanced planning is important, but not essential. Sort out who will be going and what you want to do on the stag party. Do you want to make the stag do a party or weekend and how many activities do you want to do?
  • Activities popular with stag parties and weekends include Zorbing, Paintballing, Quad Bikes, Coasteering, Clay pigeon shooting and Go-karting.
  • The most popular stag party or weekend locations are: London, Edinburgh, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Blackpool if you are staying in the UK. Popular locations to visit overseas are: Dublin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Prague, Budapest and Brussels.
  • If you are travelling together, you might want to hire a limo with a driver so you don’t have to have a designated driver.

Get your plan together

  • Check with the stag and make sure that the activities you have organised suit all those coming including the father of the bride, if invited.
  • If you are travelling abroad remember to make sure everyone’s passports are valid and you have any necessary visas. Remember to respect the customs and laws of that country. You wouldn’t want to spend the weekend in a cell.
  • Make sure you have picked a date that everyone can make, and that you have shared all the travel information with them, so they can get there.
  • Use the Wigadoo vote tool to organise dates and activity ideas for your do.

Collect the money

  • Make sure you budget properly. It is important to divide the cost of the stag party between all those going. Include any extras such as travel and beer money for the kitty on the day.
  • Collect the money from everyone before you book anything, that way you will not be left out of pocket or spend your time after the day collecting what you are owed from everyone.
  • Create an invite to get everyone to confirm and collect their money now.

On the day

  • The best man’s duty is to take care of the stag and make sure everyone on the do is getting on and having fun.
  • Don’t get stressed and make sure you all have a great stag party!

What is this online event account?

The account is actually a Prepaid MasterCard® account for transactions made online or over the phone.

What does that mean?

Well, that means we generate an account for your group that comes with a MasterCard® account number (and expiry date and security code) so that you can spend the money instantly online or over the phone. As well as pooling your friends' money into one place, you get the convenience and security of MasterCard® to spend it.

How can I spend the money?

You can simply use your MasterCard® account number to pay for your event online or over the phone. Or, if you'd like to, you can also transfer money to your own bank account.
