So, again, I’m here to write a more alternative blog. This time it’s stag do’s. Fed up of the usual “let’s get hammered!” approach? Here are 5 activities I’ve found to help your stag do be a day to actually remember. 1 - HovercraftingEssentially go karting but with a GIANT FAN BEHIND YOU. Hard to control, speed is unpredictable and you’ll probably crash in to a tree at some point... so what’s not to love? £45 - £75 per person 2 - The James Bond Experience“Unarmed combat, gambling and undercover rendezvous”. Undergo physical and mental tasks assisted by characters you meet throughout the day; some to help and some to hinder your path. From £40 per person 3 - Zombie Boot CampA zombie outbreak has begun. Panic across the nation. Civilians dying. You stags are Britain’s only hope. Could you survive the zombie apocalypse? WARNING – NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED From £77 per person 4 - Tank PaintballingIn teams of 3 (one to steer, one to aim and one to fire), prepare for a colourful, paint fuelled battle. Engage your military instincts and begin battle in your FULL SIZED TANK. Once in a life time opportunity (unless you join the army). £95 per person 5 - Running With The Bulls7 days of San Fermin’s annual festival. Being charged at by large horned bulls through the twisty back alleys of Spain is definitely an adrenaline packed stag do...
6th - 11th July 2014 Accommodation and Airport Packages from £149 So now there is no excuse at all to simply tie your naked groom to a telegraph pole in Glasgow. What will you choose?

This week, we have been talking to Sheree and Aoife at Cute Maps.. a quirky little company that designs illustrated maps for multiple purposes. Of course, in this instance.. they design WONDERFULLY creative maps for you to point your guests in the right direction of your big day. We had a chat with these lovely ladies, and here is what they had to say.... What are Cute Maps? Cute Maps are custom maps individually tailored to depict a whimsical visual story and lasting memory of that special day. Quirky and fun, as well as informative, wedding guests immediately share in the journey of each Bride and Groom from the moment their invitation lands at their door. Each map design is ‘Utterly Bespoke’ meaning we start with a blank canvas - all locations are chosen by the happy couple, be it their venues, where they met or where they were engaged. We’re always excited to improvise, but motifs can also be drawn to their requirements; previous customers have chosen pets, hobbies, flags, flowers, cars and even their favourite Gin! What products are available in the stationery range? The collection ranges from full stationery suites to simple postcards so there’s something to suit all tastes and budgets. Cute Maps offer Save the Dates & Invitations, all the way through to Menus, Favour Tags & Thank You Cards creating a memorable paper trail throughout the nuptials. And now this winter we introduce the Framed Cute Gift Map that guests can commission for the betrothed couple, or can be ordered as a memento. Cute Maps are available as: Save the Date Postcards & Magnets | Invitations & Folded Cards | Invitation Inserts | Tote Bags | Gift Maps Matching Stationery items available include: Info Cards | Menus | Favour Tags | Table Names | Save the Date Emails | Place Cards How did this idea come about? Director/Designer Sheree began making Cute Maps for herself and friends. The success of these led to the launch of www.cutemaps.co.uk with instant orders coming in from across the world. Sheree states ‘Every map is a new challenge. I love that we can receive an order from any location worldwide and yet the creation remains personal and local to the bride & groom’. Any plans for the future? We receive so many unusual design requests from customers which we’d love to eventually offer to all customers. At the moment we’re building a web page on Cute Map table plans. As well as simple matching table plans, we’ve previously created Road Trip, World Map and even Tube Map plans! We’re also expanding the matching stationery range to include Wedding Programs and a Tea Towel keepsake! Cute Maps are available at www.cutemaps.co.uk and at www.notonthehighstreet.com/cutemaps. View a small selection of maps at the online portfolio found on the website. Prices start at £98.00 for Design Only, £120 for x50 Standard Postcards, £200 for x50 Standard Folded Cards and £145 for x50 Save the Date Magnets.
