ULTIMATE 2026 STAG DO PLANNING GUIDE (INCLUDING WHAT TO WEAR)

Powered by chaos, teamwork, and questionable fashion choices.

Planning a stag do solo can feel like trying to herd a load of drunk kittens up an escalator backwards — aka an absolute nightmare. Between collecting money, choosing a destination, sorting activities, and making sure the groom doesn’t accidentally end up on a no-fly list, it can be a lot.

But don’t panic — we’re here to make it easier, funnier, and far less stressful.

Thanks to our collaboration with StagWeb — the UK’s leading stag planners — you’ll get expert help, free planning tools, AND access to the greatest collection of funny stag shirts designed for ultimate weekend chaos.

Let’s break it down.

🚀 1. Start with the Stag (aka: What Does the Groom Actually Want?)

Before you even think about flights, outfits, or bar crawls, figure out the groom’s vibe:

  • Does he want a big night out?
  • A chill weekend with activities?
  • A full “lads abroad” meltdown?
  • Something classy (lol)?
  • Something chaotic (more likely)?

Once you know the direction, everything gets easier.
