Hen & Stag Do’s

Throughout the last few decades the pre wedding ritual of Hen and Stag do’s have appeared to become a standard across the majority of cultures.

It would’ve once been associated as a Western part of culture. However I have noticed over the years more and more people from differing cultures are enjoying what seems to be the last ‘hurrah’ before tying the knot!

So how do the differing cultures celebrate this pre-wedding blast?

Growing up in the UK and Western world I have understood the party to involve lots of alcohol drinking and behaving for a short period in a way that socially would otherwise be unacceptable.

Historically it would often be celebrated in a local public houses, bars and restaurants. However the growing trend over the last decade would certainly point to people being prepared to see this last hurrah in a more luxury environment and people often prepared to spend a large some of money and travel abroad.

So why has this trend now moved across our shores and to differing environments and countries?

Well, simply I feel that the coupling of cheap flights and destinations close to the UK, mainly european counterparts offering cheaper alcohol and better weather is the one of the main factors people now choose to travel for these last bash parties.

I’ve had friends travel as far as North & South America for their Stag Do’s.

So can we see the demise of the famous Hen and Stag do’s? I very much doubt it.
