As the current economic crisis deepens, debt is piling up, unemployment is rising rapidly and household bills are skyrocketing, engaged couples are finding that they must make their wedding plans on a tight budget.

Recently it has become more and more common to have a stag-weekend instead of just a stag-night, or sometimes a stag-week. However given the recent clamp-down on spending, stag-weeks are being shortened to weekends, and stag-weekends have been shortened to nights. Stag events are receding in that respect.

Instead of weekends abroad, it is becoming increasingly popular to spend activity weekends in the UK. You can arrange multi activity days or weekends for far less than a foreign trip. Typically you can have a high quality days activities for 60 – 80 per person, which in many ways will be more memorable than a longer foreign break.

Another main advantage that UK stag parties have is that you will find more people are able to participate as the financial prospect of going abroad may put many people off, and so with more people taking part, the event is sure to be more memorable than it may have been otherwise.

Multi activity day and weekends can include, clay pigeon shooting, quad bikes, off road driving, archery, air rifle shooting, fishing, golf, indoor skiing, karting, indoor sky diving and many more. A good organiser will be able to arrange your day or weekend for you including somewhere to stay, dinner and night life. This will remove a lot of the headache for the Best Man while making him look like he has actually put in lots of effort.

When picking activities, you want to try to have a broad selection that lots of people will like. In addition, if you choose Golf just because the Groom and Best Man play twice a week you will possibly deter many non golf players from attending. The key is to make the stag party as inclusive as possible so that you please the masses. This is why having several different activities works so well, everyone should enjoy at least one of the activities throughout the day.

If you make the day into a competition with some small prizes for winners and losers you will also make the day more memorable and enjoyable.
