The History of the Stag Do

The tradition of toasting a groom goes way back to ancient Greece. In Sparta, the night before a wedding was all about celebrating with his military buddies. It was a nod to his youth, his coming of age, and his future commitment to marriage. What was once a one-night affair has now often morphed into a full weekend (or even a week!) known as a stag weekend, or more famously, “his last night of freedom”.

The term 'stag' first popped up in mediaeval England, and used to refer to a male deer as well as any strong and young male animal leading a pack. This is believed to be how "stag do" or "stag party" became the go-to term for a groom's pre-wedding bash.

Over time, stag parties have evolved into much grander events, with an average party size of 13. Unlike in the past when the groom eagerly anticipated this event, today's stag dos often come with a mix of excitement and inevitable embarrassment.
