Im getting married in August this year and now have to look at ideas for stag nights.
Having never been on one, I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions?
I've been chatting a few ideas over with the best men (2 mates), and considered places like praq, amsterdam, but I fear that the cost of gettting to/from these places etc will shy away people who cant afford it (alot of my skint ass friends).
We also thought about Blackpool, cardiff, cork etc.
I wouldnt mind doing an adventure weekend, i.e something on the friday, and a nice meal, then quadding, shooting etc on Sat and a massive piss up sat night.
Any thoughts/suggestions welcome

I've done Spain and Tenerife as stag dos and there were over 20 on each, didn't put anyone off going. In fact by the time you've driven there and bought a hotel in the UK you may be cheaper with a package deal. The Spain one was to see Catalunya rally and it was 160 quid all in including hire cars and an all inclusive nice hotel, you couldn't go on a normal package for that.
I'm sure you would get something cheap enough, it compares favorably to staying in this country.
I personally don't like quad biking or that type of thing, I went to some off road thing once and we shared a single underpowered buggy and did timed laps driving in a big safe circle. I've had more fun in an old Sierra on the farm.
Blackpool is OK if you just want to get drunk.
Cardiff and Cork I can't speak for but if you're going to a town you don't know, get some local knowledge and advice first. The best nights will be the ones which are planned well and where you know where you're going. You can't have a good one if you end up in some dodgy bar which closes too early.

Riga in Latvia is good and cheap
Or how about going somewhere in the UK, go-karting/paintballing, out for a meal, few drinks, casino and the hotel. I'm going to a mates stag in Glasgow on sat and we are getting a bus hired and leaving at 1pm and coming home at 11.30am on Sunday. The best man rang the casino and booked in a party of 35, can't remember how much per head for the casino but all in its £120.

Prague is a great destination for a Stag Doo in my opinion, but it really depends what you're after. Most of the people I went with were filthy perverts only interested in Whores and cheap Beer
