Fun Ideas for Hen And Stag Night Parties in a Bar

Is one of your best friends or siblings getting married soon? Are you the designated best man or maid of honour? If so, it’s your responsibility to plan the ultimate pre-wedding party. There are several different options for a stag or hen celebration, but one includes celebrating at one of the bars or restaurants in Newcastle and bringing some private entertainment in.

The Basic Guidelines for Both Kinds of Parties,

Whether you’re hosting a stag night for the groom or a hen party for the bride-to-be, there are a few tips to consider:

Schedule the party at least a few weeks before the wedding so the couple or the bridal party doesn’t show up hungover.
Coordinate the parties on different nights so you don’t run into your fiancé at a bar and quickly have to explain yourself.
Keep the invite list simple, with siblings, cousins, and close friends. Think carefully about including your fiancé’s family if you have any risqué activities planned.
Arrange for all the attendees to stay in one place, rent a few suites together at a nearby hotel or crash at someone’s house. Arrange a limo with Limo Find and have everyone chip in to the cost. This way no one has to worry about being the designated driver.
Discuss with the bride or groom about their preferences, and remember to make reservations at one of the bars or restaurants in Newcastle. Some like the Depot on Beaumont has many private rooms where you can host your event.

Stag Night Ideas

A stag can be very hard to plan, deciding where to go for your stag can be the hardest decision to make. This comedy show in London could be perfect. However, if you decide to spend the groom’s stag night at a pub or a bar, think about incorporating some of these ideas and activities:

Play pub golf. If you’re not feeling overly adventurous, stick to only 9-hole, which means you only visit nine pubs or bars, versus 18 of them. You only stay at each one for around 20 minutes, and each drink features a different par value. A shot would be worth only par 1, while a pint of beer equals par 4.
Grab a group of friends and play a drinking card game like Ring of Fire. All you need is a deck of cards, your drinks, and an empty pint glass. Traditionally, the first three players that draw kings pour a shot of their drink to the empty pint glass. The player that draws the last one has to drink the entire concoction. Other cards mean other dares, like an ace means everyone drinks, and you can’t stop until the person to your left stops. Drawing a 9 allows that person to say a word and everyone else must think of something that rhymes with it.
Partake in the traditional night of dares. Make them fun and naughty but nothing he’ll regret the next day. Have him serenade another girl on the dance floor or dare him to have a brunette, redhead, and a blonde all buy him a drink.

Hen Party Ideas

Some hen night party themes and ideas are similar to the guys and some are not. Here are a few:

Partake in the traditional hen night dares game. Use some funny ones, like making the bride find a bloke named Colin and ask for his number, as it’s a common Aussie name.
Do a twist on the dares by organizing a scavenger hunt. Plan a list of things each team has to get. Make sure someone takes photos or video of them doing those dares. Choose easy items like having a bloke named Dave autograph one guest’s shirt. Choose some wedding-themed items like singing karaoke to the first dance song or taking a photo at the local restaurant where the couple had their first date.
Have a Middle Eastern theme. Bring in a Belly dancing or Bollywood instructor to a private room, and coordinate your decor and tapas around the theme. You’ll be dancing like pros in no time and will wow everyone on the dance floor.

Most of all have a good time!
