Stag&Doe

As maid of honor, join forces with the best man to combine the bachelor and bachelorette parties into a stag and doe party. It can be catered or to cut costs formatted as a potluck.

This is especially helpful to raise money for couples that are feeling the wedding pinch. Sell tickets, or include games to help raise money, but leave the "dancing girls" out. Make it a cash bar and enlist family and friends as wait and bar staff.
