Stag-n-Drag anyone?
I just received the following FB invite:
On ******** we are going to celebrate the impending nuptials of ****** and ******* by throwing them a Stag-n-Drag.
For those of you who have never heard of a Stag-n-Drag....me either. It's an Erie thing apparently and it's basically a great time, huge party that doubles as a pre-wedding fundraiser for the couple.
It'll be held at ********'s parents' house beginning at *pm. The cost is $7.00 per person or $10 for two ($5 for under 21), which will include beer and food.
There will be team buy-in Beer Pong, Horse Shoes, and Flip Cup tournaments with prizes for the winners. In addition there will be a 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction, jello shots, corn hole and other activities to keep you entertained.
Pre-payment is accepted and absolutely welcomed. If you would like to prepay please send your money with a note that contains the names of all the people you are paying for so we can get you on the Paid list. Pre-payment can be sent to:
*****************
Come and celebrate the wedding of ******* and ********!
MUST be 21 or older to drink!

Re: Stag-n-Drag anyone?
Please rsvp "pay for your own damn wedding"
I know I could get shunned for saying this but I think it sounds like fun!

<div>Haha, it's throwing beanbags into boards with holes cut into them. I think the name originated from putting corn into the beanbags. </div><div>

[QUOTE]Kate... <a href="http://www.playcornhole.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.playcornhole.org</a> Big Midwest thing. We play all the time in summer/fall. I don't get how $ is actually made on these stag parties if food/drink/door prizes are involved. Am I missing something? These are not common in our area (thank God).

<div>I'm not sure either. I'm pretty sure the family is sponsoring it, in which case, they could just sponsor the wedding, but without the extra party? Beats me, I'm sure it will be a great party, except I hate beer. </div>

There's an ENTIRE associate for this? Holy cow. This seems like a mid-west thing!

Sometimes I wish I could be more lax on my morals and had one. I could have used an extra 5grand when I was planning my wedding.
[QUOTE]Oh okay. Thanks Lucky! It's definitely not popular up in New England, haha!

Kate, it will be. ;) We've got a set we'll be bringing with us when we move. Although, FI makes fun of the name. Apparently that's a reference to a sexual act in his circle. Not sure if that's Army or Boston, though.
Dresses may be easier to take in than let out, but guest lists are not. -- kate51485
Apparently, Stag-n-drag does not equal Stag IN drag.
damn.
Now with more wedded bliss.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

[QUOTE]we are thinking of having one. the point is to just raise money to pay for the wedding. its easy, you sell tickets at $10 or so a piece before the stag.... you make hot dogs/burgers to eat, do a 50/50, horse shoe tourn, chinese auction. have each of your attendants bring a bottle of booze to raffle off and buy some beer. realy you should only have to pay out like $300 to start.. and say you sell 100 tickest BEFORE the stag.. that like $1000 right there. <strong>some ppl don't have lots of money to pay for their wedding nor parents that will pay for everything.. its an easy way to raise money for your wedding.

You're right. Some people have to wait until they save enough money, take a second job, cut cable, or all sorts of other things. I bet this party is also an easy way to lose some respect from your friends and family. If you are mature enough to get married you are mature enough to pay for your own wedding.

Psst... this thread's over a year and a half old...
Why do people think everyone else wants to pay for them to do shiit?
1. This thread is over a year and a half old. None of the original posters are still reading.
2. Just because you're doing it too doesn't make it ok.
3. Nobody needs to have an expensive wedding. Have the wedding you can afford without expecting other people to pay for it. If I want an expensive purse, I save up money until I can afford it, or if I can't afford it, I find a cheaper one. I don't have a "help Poli buy a purse" party.
Planning!.....Married!
My fiance and I have been to several Stag N Drag's for our friends and it's wonderful to support them because obviously weddings are quite expensive. We also know that the money we spend at these parties is going to a good cause. Stag N Drag's are a give-and-take. Any given year, we will go and spend $50 per party to give to the happy couple. Now, when we are having our own, we know our friends will help us out the same way we did.
Plus, where else can you go to a big, fun party where you can eat and drink all you want for $5 per person? We will be spending plenty to put this party on, but the idea is making a small profit to go toward some wedding-related expenses.
So, to review for all of the obviously ignorant, uneducated, and condescending individuals here...Great party, great food and drink, great games, and making some money to help with expenses! It's not just for people who don't want to pay for their own wedding. Get a life and stop attacking people when you have nothing to back it up. Maybe you should try adding some fun to your boring life and going to a Stag. You might see why those of us who have them think they are great!

Stag N Drag enthusiasts
