Stag and Doe's

[sparks19]

Are they a popular thing where you are? Ever heard of one before?

I only ask because I have always known them to be a very common thing where I am from and had no idea that it wasn't a common thing everywhere. No one here knows what a stag and doe is.... they don't have them and have never heard of them.

Have you?

Um, yeah. A stag is a male deer and a doe is a female deer.

Do you mean having that as labels on the men's and ladies room doors? Justone "Canadian themed" restuarant does that near here.

LOL No....

it's like a pre wedding reception. Where I am from Brides and grooms to be throw a big party to raise money for their wedding or honeymoon or house or whatever. they sell tickets and rent a hall and a dj and serve booze and have door prizes and there are usually silly games like goldfish races to play. They usually have this party a couple months before the wedding.

I had no idea that this was not a normal thing everywhere lol.

It might be a Canadian thing, but I'm not sure?

I've been to a couple, and they've generally been a combo-deal of the guys stag party, and the girls wedding shower in one. Usually when its a short time between the engagement to the wedding, things like that. Mostly, we've ended up having parties, or taking over a pub -- things like that.

I think it must be a Canadian thing lol.

although I have never been to one that was a combo stag party and wedding shower.... usually there are no gifts or anything like that it is strictly to raise money lol.

I call them Stag and Hen parties.

It is where all the boys from the wedding party go out together, and all the girls go out together, sort of a last night of "freedom" ritual.

Loads of fun, and I would never get married without planning one (or two!)
