[QUOTE]. In general: In Canada (and I believe Britian) it is a custom to do a "buck and doe" which is basically a party where you have beer, wine, and hamburgers or pulled pork or some other fairly cheap fare. You sell tickets to this event and once there you are expected to spend another 25 bucks or so on stupid games which are designed to get the bride and groom more money. I hate the whole thought of this. Especially since 90% of the time they also have a shower where people are expected to get them a gift. If I go to a wedding I buy a shower gift and a wedding gift and that is enough thank you very much.

Not a British thing. We have stag and Hen parties but they are just like bacherlor/lette parties. Seperate and usually a night out or weekend at a spa.

*eta* Showers are also not a thing in the UK.
