The big day approaches, nerves flying high, preparations, stress, a significant outlay of money … weddings pose a major event in anyone’s life. It is a market that weathers storms and overcomes crises reinventing itself, for this is what love is about, it never dies.
But before the wedding, an event that has been getting increasingly important, being prepared with more and more anticipation and originality. We are talking about the stag and hen do, a party that is also adapting to new times and whose tendencies do not cease to surprise us.
Gone are the days when the bride’s girlfriends took her to a ‘striptease’ and they did the same, enhancing it with liters of alcohol. Now there are specialized operators in stag/hen parties and they opt for plans such as shopping routes through the most popular cities in the style of ‘Sex and the City.’ In vogue are also the so called ‘boat parties’ across the Mediterranean or a group relax during a spa session loaded with glasses of champagne.
Generally, much needed ‘class’ has been added to this kind of celebration that, regardless of the destined budget, has left behind the alcohol + nightclub duo.
Among the favorite destinations nationwide are Ibiza, Majorca, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Benidorm and the Costa del Sol. And for this journey to leave a lasting trace, comes another growing trend, stag/hen dos with “Photocall,” to make us feel like Hollywood stars for one night. For those considering themselves more analog, there is the opposite version: an offline stag/hen do, during which the use of mobile phones or similar technological devices is prohibited in order to enjoy the experience more intensely.
One thing that does not go out of fashion are the jokes, which have become unavoidable in such events. If the couple are shy, it is better not to overdo it, not everyone can take a bad joke. It is meant to be fun, not to add more stress for the already nervous couple. An idea for those who choose warm climates is to finish the night in a fountain, in the sea or in a pool, for as the saying goes, wet marriages are fortunate ones.
Regarding the costumes, it is better to opt for a single accessory rather than a complete disguise. A wedding veil, a tulle skirt or a band with the names of the friends will make a fun night. The important thing is that the evening becomes an unforgettable experience, and for this the proposals are endless.
If you opt for municipalities as attractive as the city of Marbella, it is hard to fail. Restaurants like ‘Black and White,’ located in the famous Puerto Banus, specialize in all kinds of shows and events, organized in an elegant and classy fashion. Do not hesitate to contact them, offer your idea and give the future newlyweds a night to remember.
