Apologies in advance if this is a weird post, I'm just curious.
Is a stag/doe the American equivalent of a stag/hen?
Why are they side-eyed/considered rude?
Over here (UK), couple announces engagement, confirms MoH/BMs, and BM/GMs, plans wedding, etc. In the run up to the wedding, (usually the MoH for her, BM for him, with BM and GM help, although not necessarily) plans a hen party for her/stag party for him. On the date of the hen/stag party (does not have to be the same date for both parties) the guys all go to wherever, and have a crackin night out. (Drinking/strip club/theme park/pizza and beer at selected house/football match/day at the beach/paintballing/whatever).
Is this a stag/doe party? Or is this a bachelor/ette party and a stag/doe is something completely different?
