Many who have experienced, planned or attended a Stag and Hen party are not always sure what the terms mean exactly or where they originated from. “Stag” is a term that has been used across the centuries to refer to a male in his prime, virile and strong.
The word “Hen” dates as far back as the 1620s to refer to a lady.
Stag and Hen parties have been enjoyed by many for centuries. Stag and Hen parties are much like a bachelor and bachelorette party, however, are typically planned later than Stag and Hen celebrations and with a more relaxed feel to it all.
The stag and hen parties however often have a more relaxed setting.
It is a way you and your loved ones can come together to celebrate the last moments of “free” life.
The turn of the millennium saw a new approach to the stag and hen parties with crazy partying, stretched limos and plenty of drinking and wild fun. If you are celebrating with both Stags and Hens, co-ed parties are an option for you. When the groups mix they call this a ‘Hag Do’ which is actually the more popular option.
