Stag and Doe's

[Pawsitive Thinking]

We have stag nights and hen nights which are usually arranged for the same evening and involve copious amounts of alcohol and bad behaviour on both sides

The only money involved is the amount that is handed over the bar

Parties are expensive propositons...at least they are here.

First you have to rent a venue that allows drinks to be served/consumed on the premisis. This is a HUGE deal and usually results in an increase in the rental fee. Second, Im sure a temporary liquer licence in Canida costs some money and third even the cruddiest of entertainment will want some compinsation for thier time. I don't concider it a strech to charge admission to cover the cost especially if the couple is organizing this on top of the rest of the standard wedding hooplah.

Sounds like a fun tradtion to me...and one worth paying for if the couple put on a good show

THANK YOU.... I'm so glad someone GETS it. I didn't really think it was that far of a stretch to see how much money goes INTO throwing these events in the first place that they even charge admission. it's not like they are making thousands and thousands of dollars off of these parties haha. Basically.... it is just another excuse to party and we are always looking for an excuse to do that where I come from But yes there is a HUGE amount of planning and personal expense that goes into these parties.... for the most part they make back perhaps slightly more than what they forked out.... so those that are in need of financial assistance would not be throwing these parties.

And you are usually guaranteed a good show at the stag and does..... the booze is sold for cheap so some people tend to indulge which leads to some pretty interesting activities taking place

Brody's mom.... are you admitting to some bad behaviour on your side? I always loved the bachelorette parties where the bride to be has a list of silly tasks to complete.... like ask a stranger for a condom lol

I work with event promoters on a regular basis, and i've seen many a promotor go into the red substantially throwing a show that had an attendence of over 200 people that ALL paid admission. Parties never really make money, its just about providing a good (and safe ) time no matter what the occasion.

WOW.... and unless you know A LOT of people.... you are probably not going to have 200 people at your stag and doe lol.

That must be kinda cool working with event promoters.... all kinds of events? or do you work with a specific type of event promoter?

[DJFyrewolf36]

I DJ electronic music (mostly trance type stuff) so I work with "rave" promoters. I put rave in quotes because the stereotype (perpetuated by people being idiots I will admit) doesn't apply to the shows I'm involved with. There is a big emphasis on safety and responsiblilty, although sadly these two things rarely make a promoter money as this requires the show to be properly permitted and usually a security company is hired (not cheap at all!)

200 is about the average attendence for a party although the event I'm hitting this weekend has an expected attendence of over 500 people (paying 20-40 dollars a piece, depending on when they got their ticket) and the promoter has a good shot at not breaking even. Again though, its about having a good and safe time, not about the money.

Sorry about getting off topic
