Epic Stag Do Themes for the Ultimate Bachelor Party
Planning a stag do should be all about celebrating the groom-to-be in style, and what better way to do that than with a themed party? Whether you’re after adrenaline-fueled activities, laid-back vibes, or a mix of both, these stag do themes will make for an unforgettable send-off into married life. Here are 15 epic stag do themes to consider!
The Last Swing Before the Ring (Golf)
For the groom who loves hitting the greens, a golf-themed stag do is a hole-in-one. Book a round at a premium course, or for a more relaxed vibe, hit up a crazy golf course or TopGolf venue. Pair it with matching polo shirts, custom golf visors, and a “Caddyshack” dress code. Cap off the day with drinks at the clubhouse or a bar crawl.

Or why not assign everyone a custom golf lanyard using our Canva editable template? Both products are available in our Etsy store.
Apres Ski with the Groom-to-Be
Take the party to the slopes (or bring the après ski vibes to you). A winter sports-themed stag do can involve a weekend ski trip, an indoor snow park, or even a ski lodge-style bar crawl with fur-lined jackets, hot toddies, and lots of schnapps. Think cozy chalet vibes by day and wild après ski parties by night.
If you’re heading to the slopes, check out our posts Best Destinations for an Apres Ski weekend in Europe and Best USA Ski Weekend Destinations.
We also have Apres Ski themed drinking games and a custom ski pass lanyard template both available in our Etsy shop.
A Weekend in the Woods
For a rugged and adventurous stag do, head into the wilderness for a camping experience. Set up tents, build a bonfire, and plan activities like hiking, fishing, or axe-throwing. Book a survival training weekend, go paintballing, or try extreme activities like whitewater rafting, zip-lining, or wild camping.
To complement the weekend, check out our “Bachelor Camp” printable games bundle available in our Etsy shop.
Oktoberfest Madness
If the groom is a beer lover, what better way to celebrate than with a Bavarian-inspired Oktoberfest stag do? Head to Munich for the real deal or recreate the experience with an authentic beer hall, steins of beer, bratwurst, and lederhosen. A pub crawl featuring German beer halls and live music will set the perfect atmosphere.
“The Last Lap” (Motor Racing)
For the groom who lives life in the fast lane, a motorsport-themed stag do is a must. Head to a racetrack such as Silverstone for an F1 driving experience, go-kart racing, or even a weekend at a major racing event. Pair the theme with matching racing jackets, checkered flags, and adrenaline-packed activities.
We also have Last Lap themed printable games bundle and Track Pass lanyard template available on Etsy.
The Stag’s Last Ride (Cowboy Theme)
Saddle up for a wild west adventure with cowboy hats, boots, and a country-style bar crawl. Whether you’re line-dancing, riding a mechanical bull, or heading to a country festival, this theme is all about embracing the rugged cowboy lifestyle.
Brews Before I Dos (Beer Tasting)
Perfect for craft beer connoisseurs, this theme is all about sampling the best brews. Plan a brewery tour, book a private beer tasting, or set up a beer pong tournament. Create custom beer labels featuring the groom’s name and enjoy a laid-back, beer-filled weekend.
Check out our Brews Before I Dos drinking games bundle that also comes with a beer tasting scorecard, and our Brews Before I Dos customizable lanyard template.
Casino Royale
Bring out the tuxedos and whiskey glasses for a James Bond-style casino night. Whether it’s a trip to Vegas, Monte Carlo, or a high-stakes poker night at home, this theme is all about sophistication and high-rolling fun. Just don’t go “all in” too soon!
Viva Las Vegas
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! A classic destination for a legendary stag do, Las Vegas is all about partying, gambling, and over-the-top experiences. If you can’t make it to Sin City, bring the theme to life with a casino night, luxury hotel suite, and a night of VIP clubbing.
Our Las Vegas Themed Bachelor Games bundle is ideal for downtime in between casino trips!
The Ultimate Sports Fan Weekend
For the groom who’s obsessed with sports, a sports-themed stag do is a winning idea. Head to a big game, book a VIP box, or organize a fantasy sports draft weekend. Football, rugby, or even American football-themed pub crawls make for a great time with the lads.
Pub Golf Challenge
A pub golf stag do combines drinking and competition in a hilarious way. Plan an epic 9- or 18-hole pub crawl, assigning drinks of different difficulty levels to each “hole.” Dress in traditional golf attire with visors, polos, and argyle socks for added fun.
Our Pub Golf Editable Scorecard and Lanyard template will help keep track of the rules and scores!
Superhero Showdown
Let the groom embrace his inner superhero with a comic book-inspired stag do. Whether it’s a Marvel vs. DC battle, a cosplay night out, or an action-packed day of paintball or laser tag, this theme is all about fun and adventure.
“Bach” to Y2K
Take the whole crew on a trip down memory lane as you dress up in y2k / 2000s fashions! Whether you channel classic noughties films like The Matrix, get your GTL on Jersey Shore style, or go for an N-Sync or 5ive inspired boyband ensemble you can be sure to make it a party to remember.

Peaky Blinders
For a stag do with a vintage edge, channel the 1920s gangster vibes of Peaky Blinders. Think three-piece suits, whiskey tastings, and a night of underground speakeasies. A shooting range experience or horse racing day can add an extra touch of excitement.
Zombie Apocalypse Survival
For something out of the ordinary, plan a stag do with a zombie survival twist. Whether it’s a live-action zombie escape game, paintball survival scenario, or a themed bar crawl with zombie makeup, this one is perfect for horror fans.
Stag Wars (Star Wars Theme)
For the ultimate geeky groom, embrace the force with a Star Wars-themed stag do. Dress up as iconic characters, battle it out with lightsaber duels, or plan an intergalactic pub crawl. Bonus points if you start the night with a movie marathon before hitting the town.
Which stag party theme will you choose?
No matter what theme you choose, the most important thing is that it reflects the groom’s personality and ensures a great time for everyone involved. Whether it’s an adrenaline-fueled weekend, a boozy celebration, or a relaxed getaway, these stag do themes will make for an unforgettable send-off before the big day!
