stag weekends
Groom's pre-wedding getaway
Stag weekends are multi-day bachelor parties, typically held the weekend before a wedding.
The groom and his male friends travel somewhere for drinking, activities, and general revelry: We're going to Prague for his stag weekend.
Primarily British usage—Americans more often say bachelor party.
The extended format allows for destination trips and more elaborate celebrations than a single night permits.
