How to Plan a Stag Do?

Based on my several years of experience organizing stag dos, I can state that I have encountered numerous positive and negative examples related to the organization.

Usually the best men sned me an inquiry during the first stage of planning, typically organizing their first stag do or having no experience with it. This is the easier version, as they completely rely on my organizing experience and do not come up with a ready-made idea, which sometimes, unfortunately, turns out to be incorrect.

In every case, the interests and wishes of the group must be taken into account, as what may be good for one person (the best man) may not necessarily be suitable for everyone. There was a case where a significant part of the group did not like the abundance of stripper girls that the best man ordered for almost every activity.

It was very uncomfortable for us as the organizing company, as we had arranged everything under the assumption that the entire group had agreed. Of course, surprises can be included in the activities; it's not ideal to plan a bachelor party with every detail discussed in advance.

It would lose the spontaneity of the event. After all, it's just a party, isn't it?

Below, you can read about what I consider to be the most important steps when you are the best man and want to organize a stag do for your friend. Here are the top 10 things to do and avoid when organizing a bachelor party, whether in Budapest or in other destinations.
