What most groups actually want
Most stag and hen orders come down to two things, a shared design everyone wears, usually with the bride or groom's name and date, and a slightly different or personalised shirt for the stag or hen themselves so they stand out from the group in photos.
Group designs versus a standout piece
A group design tends to work best kept simple, a name, a date and a short line rather than a busy, text-heavy design that's harder to read in photos later. The stag or hen's own shirt can afford to be bolder or a different colour, since it only needs to work as one item rather than matching a whole group.
Collecting names and sizes from a group
Chasing sizes and names from a group of friends is usually the slowest part of the whole order, so starting that collection well before the weekend, rather than a few days out, avoids a last-minute scramble or shirts arriving in the wrong sizes. A simple group chat message with a size chart attached usually gets a faster response than asking individually.
Ordering around a fixed weekend
Because a stag or hen weekend has a fixed date, it's worth treating the order with the same urgency as an event rather than everyday merchandise, confirming names, sizes and design at least a couple of weeks ahead gives a much safer margin than the week before.
