I’m the kind of person that doesn’t really feel that Hen and Stag dos are the best thing to do before getting married. I would much rather have a sit down meal a night or two before my wedding with all of our close family and bridesmaids and groomsmen.
It does seem like there are a few people out there like me that would say no to a hen or stag do. Take a look at this post.
I do find it interesting to see what other people think though and when I read the results to the survey on Hen and Stag dos by Ladbrokes Bingo I did kind of wonder how many people where actually telling the truth when they answered the questions.
Do men really describe their stag do as a celebration of getting married rather than the last night of freedom?? I just don’t know it they really would see it that way. Maybe I’m just not giving them enough credit..
Anyway, if your interested in having a read, here are the results from the survey.
