stag party
Pre-wedding guys' night
A stag party is a celebration for a man about to be married, typically involving his male friends and often featuring drinking, rowdy behavior, or activities considered inappropriate once married.
The British term; Americans more often say bachelor party.
The stag is the groom—unattached males being likened to male deer without mates.
