UK is running short of Dwarfs

A new craze has hit the stag party seen, Dwarfs!

Made famous by JLS singer Marvin Humes who was pictured handcuffed to a mini rapper called 5 Cent in Las Vegas. Dwarf agents in the UK are getting inundated by calls for dwarfs on stag dos, at a cost of £600 for a 6 hour shift they are not cheap! Fancy a dwarf on your Portugal Stag Do?

Top 6 Tips on Organising a Hen Weekend In Portugal


Ask the Bride to Be
Remember you are not arranging yourhen weekend abroad but your best friends, so ask her what she would like and how much input she wants in the weekend. Some hens want full control others are happy to leave it as a surprise.

Plan Early
Save the date of the hen weekend as soon as possible and email all of the ladies on the invite list. Give the ladies at least 2 weeks to decide if they are able to make the date, if they have not emailed a response then they have waived there place on the hen weekend. Obviously you need to make sure the main people can make the weekend, for example the hen, the hens mother, you and other close friends so you can be slightly flexible with date with these people, however for the rest of the party the date is the date, if they can make it great if not shame - do not allow people to bully you into changing dates stay strong!

Location, Location, Location
Source a location that is within everyone's budget and where you can get the most for your money. There is no point in paying £300 on flights and accommodation if you cannot afford to do anything when you arrive. Lisbon is great Hen Do destination as it offers an affordable hen weekend location.

Ask for help
If you are finding the whole planning of the weekend a nightmare and you have ten million deadlines you must hit at work, why not ask a company like Pink Monkey Stag and Hen to arrange the finer details on your behalf. You will find that the companies have close relationships with suppliers and they often get better deals that you can alone.

Negative Feedback
You will always find that within a large group you cannot please everyone and there is always one that thinks they can organise the weekend better. Do not bow into these peoples pressure, remember the most important person is the hen and YOU know her best. Ignore any negative behaviour and comments.

Boring stuff
If you coming to Lisbon on your Hen Do When travelling abroad remember the important things like passport and travel insurance, better to be safe than sorry!

Mankinis a No NO?

The mankini was made famous by Sasha Baron Cohen in the run-up to the 2006 release of Borat has become extremely popular method for embarrassing the stag  on stag weekends in the UK and abroad. Now, however, one UK resort has taken the decision to ban the mankini,  fake penises and other "inappropriate clothing" from its streets. Newquay in Cornwall is a very popular stag weekend destination and they have said that the ban has reduced anti social behaviour. Total embarrassment of the stag on a stag weekend is really the aim of the game so if you are looking for a stag weekend destination where anything goes, then come to Albufeira. On your Stag Weekend in Albufeira Pink Monkey will be disappointed if we do not see a couple of Mankini per week, although at times we do have to avert our eyes!
