Stag and Doe

I need suggestions!!

So my fiancé wants a stag and doe, I do not. We are having a super low key wedding in our backyard for the simple fact that I don't want myself or anyone else to be stressed over this wedding.

Anyways, here lays my dilemma: We are from different cities that are about 2-3 hours apart from each other. I'm from Hamilton, he is from Whitby and we are being married in Port Perry (about 20 min North of Whitby). I'm afraid that our turn out would be effected by the travel time required to get to either area since usually people go to stag and does with the intent to drink.

I'm already holding the wedding in his neck of the woods, I feel guilty expecting my family to travel for so many functions.

Has anyone else run into this and how did they go about it? I considered a central location but it still will include a potential for an hour or so commute. Any and all suggestions welcome!

    We had family from the east end travel to the north side to enjoy the buck & buck as well as the wedding. Just have a convetsation with FH and see if the central location can work for you both. Some sacrifice can come out of it from both ends and make your family drive less distance.

    This idea makes a lot of sense and might be a good compromise. If you don't want one and you don't want your family traveling so far, maybe you can have a small one with just his family?

    I'm wondering if you've suggested to him to just have a stag for himself? That way he gets to have his party and you don't have to make your friends and family travel all the way to Whitby for it.

    Discuss it with your significant other. Express your needs, then consider pros and cons TOGETHER.

    Not having one of those for our wedding. Just preferences and expenses

    I would recommend going to your FH and try and see if either he can go to your area - if the answer is no then he shouldn't expect a different response to you coming to him. The last hurrah is suppose to be care free - it looks like the easiest way to have your stag and doe is to do them separate as a stag....and a doe.
