Online, March 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Best Man's Guide to Organising Stag Weekends and Bachelor Parties
Kindle and iBook launches 7 March 2011

Stag parties have an unfortunate reputation for shambolic rampages around bargain basement resorts in the UK and Europe. The revelry might be a given, but from now on there's no excuse for a lack of organisation or picking a duff venue. A decade's worth of experience is distilled into practical planning tips in The Best Man's Guide to Organising Stag Weekends and Bachelor Parties - now available for Kindle, and Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod.

For the typical tech-savvy best man, having the top tool for the job to hand on his device of choice will simplify preparations and gain him maximum kudos with fellow stags. Available from amazon.co.uk and Apple's iBook store from 7 March 2011, the electronic edition costs just £1.99 (RRP).

The book of the same name has been an invaluable resource for stag party planning since it was first published in 2003. Its move to new media for the third edition means live web links to venues, travel and airline booking sites, accommodation and activity providers are at the best man's fingertips, putting him in touch immediately with up to date prices and availability.

All the top tips and planning advice from the print version is available electronically too. Author Steve Emecz is a mine of information on whether to plan your trip around a particular location or make it activity-based, as well as how to come up with a realistic set of options to suit your budget. The guide's relaxed, man-to-man style and cautionary anecdotes based on sometimes bitter experience make it a no-effort way to mug up on winning ways to entertain your groom and his cronies, whether their enjoyment depends mainly on silliness, sports or surprises. Emecz takes a no-nonsense approach with tips on incorporating strippers, lap dancing clubs and near-the-knuckle dares and ambushes into the festivities without ending up in a police cell or hospital.

As Emecz says, "The humble stag night has changed so much over the last few years and the bar has been raised. The pressure on the best man to do a great job is immense." Splashing out a couple of quid on this guide could be the best investment any best man ever makes. Whilst the guide's stag party case studies make amusing reading, it's a safe bet that no stag or groom wants to end up "strapped... naked to a pool table and assaulted with a pool cue." The Best Man's Guide to Organising Stag Weekends and Bachelor Parties steers a course around such extremes and helps keep things under control... just about...
