Brief History of The Stag Party

So you probably think that a stag party is a pretty resent invention .. wrong!

Unbelievably it actually dates back the the 5th century B.C, ancient Spartans were the 1st to celebrate their Spartan Brothers last night of freedom. Spartan soldiers held a dinner in their friend's honor and made toasts on his behalf. But year on year stag parties have been getting more and more raucous!

Below are Pink Monkeys all time favourites:

Herbert Barnum Seeley had his stag party raided by the police in 1896 as rumours were abound that a famous belly dancer was due to perform naked ... naughty!

Jimmy Stewarts Stag party in Beverley hills in 1949 was an interesting affair. Two actors that played munchkins in the Wizard of Oz were hired, the first to dress as a baby and pee on Mr Stewart and the 2nd to call him Daddy all evening.  Later on more munchkins jumped out of a silver serving dish to the surprise of Stewart. The start of todays infamous Stag Parties Pink Monkey thinks.

Thomas Bruderman a Fidelity trader held his Stag Party in 2003 at the Delano Hotel. It cost around$100,000 and included a dwarf, a private jet, a yacht and two prostitutes ... Is that all?
