The Sten (or Hag) party is the latest evolution in pre wedding celebrations. Rather than the trouble and expense of arranging two separate holidays, the Sten party is a combination of a Stag party and a Hen Party so couples with combined friendship groups can all party together, rather than apart. This means that you can combine your budgets so you can go bigger and better and get more bang for your buck! Because many couples share the same friendship groups Sten do’s mean that everyone can be invited to the party and no one gets left out! Sten do’s also offer the advantage that no one has to worry about what their other half is up to on the weekend, as you’ll be right there enjoying it with them. The Sten do is a great way of everyone getting to know everyone else in advance of the big day and, if you have roughly even size groups of Hens and Stags, it is a great opportunity for some “Battle of the Sexes” style team battles! So here are our top 5 Sten Do Destinations.
Ibiza
The White Isle, this jewel in the Mediterranean Sea is the third largest of the Balearic Island, and, during the summer months, becomes a hedonist’s paradise! There is no better destination for your Sten do abroad if what you are looking for is beautiful white sand beaches, inviting warm water and some of the best nightlife that Europe has to offer. Ibiza can be an expensive destination, but it is definitely worth it.
One of the most popular activities in Ibiza for Sten parties is the Party Boat.
