Stag night party games

Stag weekends have changed a fair bit since the days of a few pints down the local boozer with a few mates and your dad. And we’re glad, you boys now have endless combinations of things to do and places to see and it’s all about having as much fun as possible in one weekend. With fun and entertainment being the key factor here, it’s wise to turn up to a stag party with some games ideas at hand. Stag party games are perfect to play at any point on the stag weekends, whether you’re in the pub, or having your meal or shaking things up in a club. We’ve put together a few of our favourite stag party games to play that should keep you guys amused on your weekend of indulgence!

Truth or Dare

This is an all time classic game that has been splitting our sides since childhood, and now that you’re fully grown men on a stag night, this game has the potential to be even more hilarious. For anyone unfamiliar with the format, each person has to decide whether to tell a “truth” and face a grilling question from the rest of the stags, or choose to do a “dare” and carry out an action cooked up by the guys. Anything goes on a ski weekends and no question is out of bounds, making for some funny, and unusual confessions! Dares can range from ordering a round of drinks without speaking, to trying to get a stranger to give you their underwear…be warned, guys can be pretty cruel with this game!

Fuzzy Duck Drinking Game

This is a good fun drinking game that is deceptively simple but still tricky to get right! You need to be sat round a table in a circle and someone begins by saying “fuzzy duck” the next person repeats this and it goes round to each person until anyone decides to randomly say “does he?”, at which point the direction changes and you must now say “ducky fuzz”, until someone says “does he?” again and it switches directions back to “fuzzy duck” naturally any mistakes must result in the penalty of taking a drink and of course, the more you have the harder it is to get it right!

I Never

This is a great “reveal all” ice breaking game which is a classic for stag weekends. Someone begins a statement with “I never” , for example “I’ve never been to Coventry”, and if anyone in the group HAS done this, then they take a drink. This all sounds very above board and safe, but it’s down to the imagination of you guys, and your honesty so that when you say “I’ve never cuddle up to an inflatable doll on a cold winter’s night” and someone takes a drink, you can start to get to know each other all a bit better.

There are so many different types of brands out there these days and this is very true when it comes to clothing brands. This is probably down to the number of new clothing styles that have evolved in recent years. The emergence of extreme sports and new music genres has contributed to this as art has collided head on with fashion.

Here are top four clothing brand styles.

Surf Wear

Surf wear is a phrase that was coined to categorise the clothing of surfers. This initially began with surfers from the Southern California scene who began creating their own clothing brands. This was a result of the rise in popularity of surfing and its recognition as a sport which meant surfers could get sponsorship deals with surfboard and wet suit manufacturers. Examples of famous surf wear brands include Volcom, Quiksilver, Billabong, religion clothes.

Skate Wear

Skate wear was used to describe clothing brands that came out of the skate scene. Skate wear has close links with surf wear as both styles emerged out of the same scene as skateboarders and surfers tend to be one and the same. This is no surprise as originally skateboards were designed by surfers to practise surfing on land. The two clothing styles are fairly similar but each individually caters for the needs of skateboarders or surfers. Recognised skate wear brands include Vans shoes, Etnies and Element.

Urban Wear

Urban Wear came about thanks to the influence of the hip hop and rap lifestyle. During the late 70’s and early 80’s hip hop and rap music started to emerge with artists like Run DMC and the Beastie Boys breaking into the mainstream. These artists were known for wearing baggy clothes, gold chains and Adidas shoes with the laces out. These styles developed over time and with the rise in popularity of hip hop many artists started their own clothing labels. Those that had been inspired by these music styles also started creating clothing brands influenced by their favourite artists. This resulted in many urban wear brands like Roca Wear, Apple Bottoms, Phat Farm and Sean John.

Street Wear

Street Wear is a clothing style that draws influence from all the previous clothing styles. Street wear is probably best described as clothing that is inspired by urban living in metropolitan towns and cities. Hence street wear draws influence from all aspects of life in that environment including graffiti, street art, skateboarding, bmx, surfing as well as music from rock to hip hop. Street wear clothing designs often feature bright graphics and graffiti designs as well as a touch of camouflage here and there. The Addict Clothing Co, Stussy and Obey Giant are prime examples of innovative streetwear brands.

It is suppose to be the greatest time of your life. Your baby is growing inside of you. You are joyous and excited. But one thing is absolutely wrong with this supposedly ideal time. You can’t find any clothes that fit and when you do you can’t find anything you like. Where do you go to find maternity clothes with style and flare?

You may first say just go to your local department store. Sounds great in theory. But have you seen the selection or lack of selection at most department stores? There may be one rack, if you’re lucky, of maternity clothes. These clothes are boring, with no sense of style at all. You might as well continue wearing those oversized blouses that you have been buying. They look a lot better.

Have you thought about turning to the internet? Where else can you shop from stores across the country or even the world for that matter, without leaving the comfort of your home? Plus, if you live in a small town say in Ohio yet have more in common taste wise with those New York mom’s to be, it is easier than flying to New York whenever you get an inch bigger. Right?

Just type in the words maternity clothes into your favorite search engine and watch all the choices that pop up for you.

There is the website Kikisfashion where you will see happy mom’s to be in some cute fashions. Then the words: Trendy, Cute and yes even Sexy pops up at you. Sounds promising. And sometimes they offer some great deals like free shipping if you spend $75. Are you getting excited?

But don’t stop with that first site you find, there are so many others, such as:

At the website Bellablumaternity they offer trendy maternity clothes and accessories. What pulls off a great looking outfit better than that perfect accessory?

At the website duematernity they offer maternity clothes designed by top designers. What a wonderful thought. They also sell accessories, too.

Yet, you don’t have to stop at these sites. Some of the most popular stores such as JC Penny, Lane Bryant and Saks offer many choices in maternity clothes on their online sites.

Yet, if you are really looking for bargains and really want to stay on that budget, you may even want to stray on over to the ebay.com site to look over your choices in used and new maternity fashions You know you can find all kinds of deals on ebay.com

If you want to find some local deals, you could check and see what kind of deals your local resell shops have. Many resell shop also sell clothing, especially maternity clothes. Just because it is used doesn’t mean it isn’t reusable. You should just inspect it closely before buying.

Finally, there is still the choice of going to the plus size department at your local stores and seeing what you can find. Many plus size blouses, shirts, and even jackets will fit a pregnant woman perfectly and may even sell cheaper than an article that is similar, yet comes with a maternity label.

When it comes to maternity clothes shopping, your choices may be a bit limited. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find maternity clothes that fits your own style and flare.

Now that you have decided to have a Western wedding you will want to make sure that the flowers are authentic to your time period. Whether you use fresh flower bouquets with many blossoms or just put together a few of the more popular flowers it is important to make sure you understand what types of flowers grow in the west.

In addition to the bridal bouquets, you will also want to have a variety of flowers in your location and at your reception. There are many different ways that you can present your flowers that will make them unique and friendly.

Your theme will also decide what type of flowers you will have and this may depend on your location. For instance, if you want to create a Rocky Mountain theme your flowers will be different than if you want to create a Texas theme. These are things to think about because you want your flowers to fit into your theme.

If you are going to do a western wedding in the south you might find that mums are a great flower because they come in a variety of colors. You can decorate several places with the same flowers but with different colors. Other types of flowers that will add a touch of country flair include:

Spider lilies are actually an herb but they are wonderful because they look exotic because they have pointy, spidery blooms. They are great for the bridal bouquets or as centerpieces on tables. They grow well all over Texas.

Zinnias will spice up your western wedding if you are going more southwest because these flowers grow very well in the Southwest, Mexico and Central America. They have thick blooms and you will find a variety of colors in them from reds to multi-colors. These also make great centerpieces or you can stick them around the reception hall as an added treat.

Different types of blossoms are a great way to add a little color and a bit of smell. Usually those blossoms that come from fruit and nut trees make an excellent flower for decorations. Apple or peach blossoms are very popular and they can stick a few in your hair.

Another great way to add flowers to your western wedding is to use paper flowers as accents. Paper flowers have a place in many Mexican festivals and this is a great way to celebrate your special day. You can find these in many different shapes and sizes and in many bright colors.

Although it may sound crazy, for some weddings in the west a few cactus plants of different styles and sizes may be great for the front of your location or staged attractively around the reception all. This would be great for a country western theme where you also had bales of hay spread her and there.

Orchids are another nice choice and you can get them inexpensively. You could have them scattered around rocks if you have an outside wedding.

Flowers can be one of the most important parts of your western wedding and if you take your time you can find many things to complement your special day.

A wedding is one of the sweetest moments in one’s life, and to compliment the great occasion, it is only natural to serve sweets. Cakes, like sweets, are an integral part of a Western wedding.

Once the wedding ceremony is over, the traditional wedding cake is served to the guests. For this, even the knife, the container, and the table are decorated beautifully.

The wedding cake should go well with the wedding. The taste and style of the couple is clearly reflected in the design, shape, and decoration of the wedding cake. There are some prerequisites to choosing the most suitable wedding cake. The proposed budget is the prime factor. After deciding the budget, a good baker, caterer, or expert chef should be selected. The correct selection of the wedding cake remains a stiff challenge due to the wide range of options available regarding flavors, colors and decorations for the cake.

Usually, the wedding cake is massive in size, and multi-layered or tiered. It should complement the wedding dress, the place of reception, the weather conditions, etc.

Tradition demands that the bride and the groom share the first piece of the cake, after which other guests partake of it. Sometimes, a portion is preserved so that the couple can share it either on their first wedding anniversary or on the birth of their first child.

The wedding cake can be made in various flavors and colors. Some opt for the traditional ones, while others prefer new designs and tastes too. A single flavor can be used. But it would be nice if it could cater to the different tastes of the guests. To achieve this, each layer can have a different flavor. The topping or the icing can also be done in many ways, the traditional being the white cream icing. Even the shape is undergoing changes, and miniature cakes are becoming a common sight.

Some of the preferred flavors are cheesecakes, mousse-filled cakes, chocolate, orange mud, and fruitcakes. Fillings can be picked from the list of chocolate, coconut, custard, almond, vanilla, etc. At the top of the cake, the figures of the bride and the groom can be seen. The cake can be decorated using many colors or design themes.

The basic idea or tradition of the wedding cake is to make the occasion memorable, to be cherished by the couple as well as their friends and loved ones.

The tradition of serving cakes is laudable, as it symbolizes the sweetness, prosperity, fertility, and love fostered through marriage.

Brides want to look their best during this important occasion and it’s really overwhelming considering the choices available.
