Pre-wedding Parties (stag & bridal)

With all hopes and prayers, you will only be wed once in your life. Thus, substantial preparation for the success of this very special occasion is a must. From wedding gowns, jewellery, venue, to the ceremony proper and the subsequent wedding party, everybody is a buzz with excitement and concern to make this event a success. Consequently, it has become a tradition not only in Cebu, but other parts of the world, to celebrate pre-wedding parties for both the bride and groom-to-be. This is in the form of stag parties for males and bridal showers for females. In Cebu, these parties are celebrated by the more affluent individuals in society and mostly, with those who live in urban areas. Weddings in provinces on the other hand, are usually done with a big party or celebration starting at the night before the wedding ceremony.

Although stag parties in the Cebu wedding scene are not as detailed compared to Western countries, it is still typical to hire the services of a female escort as a “gift” for the groom-to-be. Generally, male friends of the husband-to-be organize the said event since there are yet stag party organizers that could cater to this need here. Anyway, numerous clubs and bars are abundant in the metropolis which provides female escort services for stag night parties.

Respective gifts pertaining to the honeymoon, such as sexy lingerie and night gowns are usually given.
Both of these pre-wedding parties still have the same purpose, to signify and celebrate the last days of marrying couples and hopefully encourage them to live a happy married life.
