I was not quitte sure where to put this question, but since travel brought me to it, I put it here.
I stumbled upon the term "stag and hen parties". Exnglish isn't my first language, and I haven't got the slightest idea what it is. Research on the internet was no good, that's why I ask it here.

I'm guessing it's a party for single men and women.

We'll see what others say

A stag party is like a bachelor party; what the groom has before getting married. A hen party is sort of like a bridal shower; what the bride has before getting married. My understanding is both have sort of changed a bit over time - not all men hire strippers for their bachelor party, and women often have a bachelorette party where they go out for a night on the town with friends instead of staying at home making toilet paper bouquets and such. To the best of my knowledge, the common association with a stag party is it is a bit raunchier than your average bachelor party.

Well thanks for the quick responses. When I looked on the term stag and hen parties I got several activities, but looking at the activities I found, a bachelor party makes sense.

A stag party is for a man who is about to get married and it is usually held just before the wedding. Stag parties generally involve the guy getting married and a group of his male friends. This is the same for hen parties but instead of the guy it is for the woman getting married. There are many activities that people do on stag and hen parties and it ranges from bars, karting and more.
