What is wrong with this? Is it not normal for them to come?

i thought stag's were for your friends to show you one last good last good night out before you get the ball and chain attached to your ankle.

would you really want your father in law to be there anyway? might just be awkward
 
Hang on, I thought the idea of a stag weekend was that the stag knew nothing of where they were all headed and did everything they were ask of.

That's the way I've done it in the past anyway, and I've always had an awesome time.
 
"My question - is my stag weekend my weekend, or should it be about getting everyone to come along?"

In my opinion it is a little bit of both, it is your last fling as it were as a single bloke and traditionally a time for a send off with your mates.
If a bike riding trip is yours and importantly your mates idea of a good time then go for it.

sounds **** to me.

I thought the best man storted the stag weekend.

I am going on one in 2010, need to get it sorted but the best man is the grooms brother and he wont/is under the thumb and isnt allowed to come, we are thinking of Magaluf for a 5 days then some where in the UK for a weekend.

I would love to go on a mtb stag do in the lakes, camping and having a laugh in the great outdoors, you cant beat it.
 
heh Cheets, got a similar story here.

Uncle's stag do in May, 5 days in Magaluf (20 of us going) then a night out somewhere over here.

Should be good :D
 
Organised 2 stag dos for my mates - one was a complete suprise for the stag - turned up at the station with a weekend bag - all he knew is that it was somewhere in the UK. Went on a go-karting jaunt down to Brighton, then boozing it up along the beachfront, was a great laugh :)
The other one was planned to be a bit more genteel - the stag insisted on having the father-in-law along, we went to Bristol for some clays, then to a very smart restaurant then into town for some drinks. Ended up touring the nightclubs, pulling anything and everything in our wake, then off to the "gentlemen's club". Finished about 4am, was only me, the stag and the father-in-law still standing. He didn't let the side down :D

Mine's more likely to be the second type - I've grown out of the whole getting drunk thing, having had more than my fair share in my early 20s. I don't doubt his ability to drink, I just feel reluctant to organise the whole thing around him.
 
It's traditionally your 'last night of freedom' so you get to do what you want although that is of course tempered by the whole idea that you should be tarred and feathered/suitably embarrassed in some way.

My advice would be simply to do whatever you want, you're organising it after all, it'd be nice to include everyone but if they aren't willing to compromise then personally I probably wouldn't either (I can be a bit stubborn like that) and say "stuff 'em", they can meet us later on in the pub if that is all they are inclined to do.

Have a good weekend whatever you do and best of luck with the nuptials.
 
As above, it's your weekend, do whatever you want to do!

If some people are up for it, great, if there a couple of people that are umming and arrring about it, sod them!
 
Mountain biking on a stag weekend, get a grip.

The weekend for you yes but you should try to accomidate everyone. Maybe they could ride quad bikes along with you all?
 
If the two guys arent into outdoor activities and i guess they are a lot older than the rest of the group then you cant really blame them for saying they wont come. I wouldnt be taking it personally at all, they probably just feel that they will be spoiling things for the others.

Personally Mountain Biking would have no place in anything with the word "Stag" in it but if its what you are wanting to do and its what your mates are into then who can argue really.

I hate the whole "Stag" thing anyway although ive been on a few good ones. Organised nights out have a habbit of descending into chaos!

Personally im getting married next year and im not really having a stag do as such. Myself and a couple of close mates are heading to Vegas to drink, party and play poker. That can act as my stag do!!
