There are so many cheap flights and low price holiday packages available these days that stag weekends abroad have never been more affordable, and this can be a fantastic way of celebrating your upcoming nuptials with your friends.  If you are a groom or best man planning a stag weekend then there are a number of issues you will need to consider if you are thinking of taking your celebrations abroad, especially when you consider that these events are known for their wild behavior.

Recent studies show that over 70% of stag parties are now held abroad, and that 20% of partygoers lose valuables on the trip and up to 17% will need medical attention.  Therefore it is essential you have some solid plans in place to protect all of the members of your party and ensure the stag weekend is remembered for all of the right reasons.

Plan the Night
Make sure you research where you are going, so that you have a good idea of the layout of the area before you arrive and you know where the best places are to go, how much money you will need and also if there are any dress codes to night clubs.  Many travel companies specialize in stag dos and can provide you with comprehensive packages that will sort all of these details and can also set up some fun activities for you all to enjoy both in the day and evening.

Group Leader
You will need to appoint the most sensible, trusted member of your party as the group leader when you are on your ski holidays, and they will need to keep a reasonably clear head throughout the festivities to ensure that everyone is where they are meant to be at the right time, and that everyone has got back to the hotel in one piece.  It is sensible for the party organizer to also be the group leader as they will have an overview of all of the plans, but if the groom or best man is the organizer then it is reasonable to assume they will be partaking in a few beverages, and so another person to lead the evening may be a better choice.  The group leader should also check everyone has the right paperwork before you leave, such as passports, money, travel insurance etc.

Insurance
Travel insurance is essential every time you go on a trip, even if it is just for a weekend as it will provide financial back up should anything go wrong.  You can take out a group policy with some insurance providers, and this is a good idea if you have a large party and will ensure everyone is covered before you leave on your stag weekends.
