The Pros and Cons of Ireland
While Ireland is a beautiful country for many reasons – vast green countryside, friendliness, food and beverage industry and sightseeing, to name but a few, sometimes it’s nice to experience something new and broader our horizons. While Ireland boasts many opportunities, locations and activities for organising a stag party, the unpredictable nature of the weather can put a damper on outdoor activities.
Choosing the Most Suitable Location
Staying in Ireland for your stag party might be a good option if you will be celebrating with a large party. Large groups tend to not know each other as well as smaller groups. Larger groups work best with more an activity focused weekend. If you and your stag party are smaller in numbers, then going abroad might just be the choice for you. Trips abroad are best for more intimate groups interested in similar activities. While it may need a bit more focus on planning and will most likely be a more expensive affair, organising a stag party abroad is a chance for an experience to remember.
The Stress of Minding the Stag Party
Organising a stag party and trying to keep everyone happy can prove to be difficult. Staying in Ireland means the latecomers can arrive freely when the train or bus has left without them! It gives people an option to commit to one night instead of two. There is no room for this if you choose to go abroad. There is more commitment needed with an abroad stag party.
