Just a few decades ago, stag and hen nights were indeed just that. Nights held before the day of the wedding. However, things have changed and now it is more common for there to be a stag or hen weekend, held a couple of weeks before the main event of the wedding itself.
These stag weekends can often be self-organised and involve a weekend away in Dublin for example, or can be organised affairs through companies specialising in this field. For those living in the north, or who want a change of scenery, Newcastle Stag Weekends are proving to be increasingly popular.
By going on a weekend organised by a private company, you can be sure that you will see the best nightlife that the area has to offer. They will also organise many other things for you.
Some companies organise a paintball session or other activities during the day. Depending on where you are, there might also be surfing or tandem skydiving. They really put a lot of thought into the day time activities, and this goes to create a much better atmosphere at night as well, as everyone will be charged up.
Going on a stag or hen weekend organised by a company really takes the hassle out of organizing it yourself. You will all know exactly how much everything costs, and will be able to find out the best way of paying for all of you. This will leave you more time to enjoy yourselves!
