Best Stag Do Fancy Dress Ideas

19th Jun 2023

One of the best things about organising a stag do is that you get to dress up the groom-to-be (or the whole group). Whether you’re planning on popping down to your local or whether you’re flying off to party elsewhere, you need to give him the send off he deserves (which of course involves a lot of humiliation as payback for everything he’s done to you over the years). We’ve compiled a list of the best fancy dress costumes to ensure this stag do is the one to beat!

Outfits for the Stags

French Maid

What is a stag do without finding an embarrassing fancy dress costume (like this French maid) for the stag to wear all night long? Even better if it’s a dress! Complete with feather duster and headband, the stag better get used to domestic life now he’s getting married. After all, if he leaves it all to his missus, he might not be married for very long.

Willyman

Another equally embarrassing costume, ideal for a stag do, is willyman. When it comes to stag costumes, the ruder the outfit, the better. And this costume does not disappoint. Become the superhero that nobody needs, but will cause a lot of laughs amongst your friends and onlookers.

Shrek

Get the ogre of the hour out of the swamp for the night and into the city to celebrate his last night of freedom before marrying his Princess Fiona. Instantly recognisable, you’re stag won’t be able to hide away from the antics of the night without his mates being able to spot exactly where he is in the club.

Baywatch

When your stag thinks of a Baywatch costume for his stag do, he probably imagines having a nice tan and ripped abs like David Hasselhoff. Little does he know he’s in for a big surprise. Bring out his inner Pamela Anderson with a look he wasn’t expecting. It’s even better if you complete the look with a blonde wig and a red float.

Highlander

Up your stag do game with this novelty highlander costume for the groom-to-be. This outfit is not only funny due to its depiction of a wild Scotsman, it also has a hidden gem. With this costume you can proudly show off what’s hiding underneath your kilt (without getting arrested).

Workout leotard

Looking for a costume to transport the groom-to-be back to the 80s? We’ve got the perfect, adequately embarrassing fancy dress outfit for the occasion. Get in shape for the big day with a workout costume that’ll give you more than you bargained for. Don’t forget to complete the look with some neon leg warmers.

Group Costumes

Babies

Give the guys something to cry about and dress them in costumes that reflect the groom-to-be's personality - a baby. Whether you opt for a baby romper or scale the costumes down to just baby nappies, give the new groom an insight into his future. After all, babies are the next step after marriage.

School Boys

As it’s his last night of freedom before moving into the next stage of his life, he needs a send off to remember. Whether it’s just the groom-to-be or the whole stag party, let the rebellious school boys out for a night of care-free fun. Just make sure you’re not so naughty that you end up in detention.

Politicians

Get your (stag) party together and get your politics on with these politician costumes. The only difficult thing will be deciding which of your mates is going to be each disastrous politician. From British leaders like Boris Johnson and Margaret Thatcher to foreign leaders like Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, anything really could happen on this stag do.

Cheerleaders

Pull on your cheer dress, get out your pom poms, and shake your hips with this cheerleader costume. If these costumes don’t make you want to gather your boys together, bring the high energy, and do your cheer routine on the dancefloor in every club, we don’t know what will.

Cowboys

A stag do is the perfect opportunity to embarrass the groom-to-be, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the stag party have to wear embarrassing costumes. Kit the soon-to-be-husband out in a novelty inflatable bull rider costume with the rest of the stag party in sexy (but matching) rodeo cowboy outfits. After all, the groom has already found his bride, he doesn’t need a sexy outfit.

Ghostbusters

Are you afraid of ghosts? Make your stag do an adventure and go in search of some supernatural fun. A great costume idea for groups of any size, these Ghostbusters outfits are fun for all members of the stag party (even those who aren’t the fancy dress type). They even come complete with an inflatable proton pack.

Vikings

Round up your viking tribe, channel your inner warrior, and go out and conquer the city. With both a viking tunic and a viking cape costume to choose from, we recommend choosing one for the groom-to-be and the other for the rest of the stag party. Don’t worry, all the outfits come with an iconic viking helmet for you to sail off into the night with.

Animal Onesies

Let your inner party animals out for the night. Not only will you have great fun picking which animals best fit the character of each of your mates, but you’ll have a blast going out looking ridiculous together. Looking for the best animal for the groom-to-be? We recommend the unicorn onesie.

Mankinis

Make a bold statement in a classic stag do costume that never gets old (although you need to be careful where you wear it). The mankini was made famous in the Borat movie and has since become a stag do essential that leaves little to the imagination. So get ready to show off those abs (or beer belly), and have a night of cheeky shenanigans.

Golfers

Is the groom-to-be a keen golfer who would enjoy bringing the spirit of the game on their stag do? Don’t just go out for a night of pub golf, you need to dress the part as well. From the clothes to the visor to the glove, this costume has everything you need to bring the night to life.

Pirates

Live out your childhood (and adult) dreams by grabbing the lads and venturing out as a band of pirates. Whether you’re inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean films, the Sea of Thieves game, or even Disney’s Peter Pan, you’re going to have the adventure of your life. So stock up on the rum, grab your parrot, and head out for a crazy night.

Toy Soldiers

Pirates not really your thing but like the thought of reliving childhood fun? Maybe you spent your early days playing with toy soldiers and are ready to get nostalgic. Fun and easy for the whole stag party to get involved, you’ll have a blast of a time. We especially like this costume choice for stag do activities like paintballing and laser quest.

Morphsuits

Morphsuits are a simple but effective way to incorporate fancy dress into a stag do. It’s also an easy way to keep track of where every member of the stag party is with just a glance. After all, brightly coloured full body suits don’t exactly blend into the crowd, even in a busy nightclub.

Stand Out Suits

Looking for something a bit more sophisticated but with the option of being a bit silly? Maybe the groom is the kind of guy who always likes to dress his best. But it is a stag do, there must be a twist. Stand Out Suits let you be smartly dressed while donning bright colours and crazy patterns. From goldfish to neon colours to clouds, there’s an unusual design for everyone.

Additional Accessories

Finally, it wouldn’t be a stag do without some essential props and accessories. From props like inflatable boobs and an inflatable 3ft penis to accessories like stag horns, these items are what will take your stag do from a good night out to one of the best nights of your life.
