Organising a stag - who should book the rooms?

    As the title suggests, Im in the process of organising a stag night away in Cork this year,
    Im just wondering should I try and book accomodation for everyone or would I be better giving everyone suggestions of where to stay and let them book their own?
    If I let them book their own, they can stay wherever they want and besides, if I book 15 beds in a hotel, the staff might recognise the fact that its a stag party straight away!!
    Thanks

    cal up one of the hotels and see will they do you a group rate, suggest all the guys to book there own room or you could end you getting stung for a few quid

    It can go either way. I would suggest letting people know where you're going and ask people if they want to be in the group booking or not. You'll find that some people prefer a particular hotel or can stay with friends or something and so won't want to be included.

    If you're going for a hotel, I would suggest that you don't book for anyone else except yourself, the groom and the groomsmen. Tell everyone else to book their own room. If you're going for apartments (which I would highly recommend), then try and find out who wants to stay in them. Be conservative with your numbers - you might have a list of 30 who've all said they're up for it, but expect at least 40% to drop out or suddenly decide to make their own arrangements.

    I'll be having my stag next year, and I'll be telling them all where we're going, and they can then go off and book their own places. If you pick a hotel, your going to have people giving out about the price etc., so let them do it themselves....

    my best man sent out a group txt message online to everyone we taught might go on the stag, we gave the full price, where we were staying, how we were getting down to our destination, and then he asked for a certain amount of money from everybody within 2 weeks of the text going out, who ever comes up with the deposits in the 2 weeks book them in, and any one that dosent well let them book themselves they, at least they cant say they wernt asked then. hope it helps
