We're all familiar with the traditional hen and stag do's; the girls usually head to a relaxing spa retreat, whilst the lads usually booze it up in Eastern Europe, but those days are in the past as couples are now choosing to have a joint stag and hen party instead, known as Sten or Hag do's. Many couples share a similar circle of friends and choosing to share your celebrations together is a great way to get all your friends in one place for one big bash before the wedding.
With Sten and Hag do's increasing in popularity, we feel it's the perfect chance to share with you some great activities that'll be fun for both the hens and the stags! So here are our top activities for a joint stag and hen do:
It's the battle of the sexes, to see which party can solve all the questions and challenges, and become the ultimate treasure hunting champions! This activity combines the fun of a pub crawl, with the problem solving of a treasure hunt - the perfect combination if you ask us. You will be set with a bunch of challenges and puzzles, which you must solve, in order to move on to the next location/pub. To ensure your brain is working to its full capacity, it's important you stay hydrated, so we suggest having a drink or two and each pub. This will ensure you're switched on to tackle any challenge that is placed in front of you! This truly is the perfect activity to have on your sten or hag do and is guaranteed to get you in the competitive spirit and get the drinks flowing!
A little inflatable madness is perfect for a Sten and Hag do! Split into two teams, whether you decide to do hens vs stags or split the teams evenly, you're guaranteed to have plenty of fun! Each team will be awarded points for completing an obstacle and at the end of the day the winning team will receive some cool prizes. You'll need teamwork, a never say die attitude and a little competitive streak but don't worry, from start to finish, you're going to have fun and like your parents always said: "it's the taking part that counts!". To make it even more hilarious, why not bring along your very own embarrassingly shaped inflatable too...
If you enjoy puzzles and challenges, this activity is for you! Split your sten or hag do into two teams and try and solve all the puzzles, codes, and riddles in 60 minutes. If you don't manage to beat the time, you may have to stay in the room forever! This activity is the perfect chance to see who out of the hen or stags are the ultimate problem-solving champions and complete the Escape Game.

Paintballing is the perfect activity for a Sten or Hag do. It's the ideal way to relieve any pre-wedding tension! If the best man is planning to embarrass you in his speech or the mother-in-law is messing with your plans, spray them with some paintballs, we promise you it'll make you feel better. Of course, paintballing isn't all about getting payback, it's a great way for you all to bond and it's a great, fun, outdoor activity. If you're looking for a day out filled with laughs, then paintballing is perfect for you!
