Stag and Doe: Yea or Nay?

Yes, currently planning ours now !!

Nah! It’s not common where we live, so it wasn’t really even considered for us

Nay. We opted out of this one.

Nay, wedding planning enough planning for us.

Nay, not our thing!

I was thinking to but I never liked attending them myself with all the pressure to buy tickets and spend money. I was thinking instead of doing sort of like a online raffle with friends and family and even friends of friends. People could pay $5+ to participate in a raffle and we would post photos of prizes and then choose the winners online on video for people to view I think it could be a different and more approachable way to save a few bucks

Yes! IMO it’s an excuse for all my closest friends and family to get together and have fun.
I don’t drink and neither does my fiancé so our stag/stagette parties are not going to be the traditional drinking events.
Seven of us women are travelling to Disneyland in January for about a week. That will be my stagette. I’m over the moon about it!

Nay, we do not live near any family so it wasn't worth it

Yay! Fun evening of free drinks all evening and having family/friends paying for games and raffles.

Not even really a known thing in BC... only reason I know about them is cus of ON brides on wedding wire.... So no.

NOPE! Stags are popular here but not stag and does, so definitely not for us.

This really is not a thing in Alberta! I only heard about this for the first time last year. It seems kind of tacky...

Nay for us! We might get together with some friends and celebrate before the wedding (different than a traditional stag and doe or shag where I am lol).

Nay. We're trying to keep this whole wedding thing as simple as possible

Nay. Not a thing in Alberta

They’re not a thing in BC so definitely not!

Nope no stag and doe for us!

Nay!! I'm already having a hard enough time making a registry for gifts for the wedding... I'm not good at asking people for money/gifts hahah!!

View quoted message Same! I had heard the term, but I had no idea what it actually entailed until I joined a wedding website.

I’m not crazy about the idea of a bachelor/bachelorette party either; I think I will either have one or a bridal shower, but not both.

No, I'd never heard of this one until hanging around on wedding websites. We probably won't do bachelor/ette parties either.

No stag and doe for us. Keeping it simple! and less stressful

Nope!
Neither one of us are interested in it.
We can’t wrap our heads around fundraising for our wedding.

Nop. Again, that's not something that's popular in French-Canadian culture.

No. I’m from Alberta and didn’t even know these were a thing until WeddingWire lol

We're having a Jack & Jill/ Stag & Doe. I'm really excited for it and think it will be a lot of fun. We also really would appreciate the money . But the main thing is having everyone together to have a good time.

HECK NO! MANITOBA SOCIAL FOR THE WIN!!!!!! Socials just do way better in raising money and are known to be a good time when compared to a stag & doe or Jack & jill. Just a fact
