Stag dos
A stag do planner for whoever got lumbered with it
Plan a stag do for 8, 12 or 20 without the spreadsheet. A shared itinerary everyone can see, a record of who booked what, and the maths on who owes whom at the end.
You are the best man, or you are the one who volunteered before he did, and you now have a group chat of fourteen people with strong opinions and no money. The trip itself is the easy part. The admin is what ruins it.
Sí Listo gives you one link. Everyone on it sees the same plan, can argue with it in the app rather than at 1am in the chat, and can see exactly what has been booked and what is still just an idea — and at the end it works out who owes whom without you having to ask anyone twice.
What actually goes wrong
Not the trip — the admin around it. These are the failures specific to this kind of group.
You are fronting money for people who might not come
Deposits are due months out, they are usually non-refundable, and two people will drop out. Every stag organiser ends up several hundred pounds down waiting for transfers from men who have muted the chat.
Nobody knows what is actually booked
Someone says they'll sort the karting. Two weeks later nobody can remember whether they did, and asking sounds like nagging. Half the group thinks the Saturday night is confirmed and it is not.
The budget range is enormous and unspoken
One person wants a suite and a table, another is three months into a mortgage and cannot say so in front of twelve people. A plan with a per-head number on it settles this without anyone having to admit anything.
The stag should not be organising his own stag
But he is the only one who knows he cannot eat shellfish, that his brother-in-law does not drink, and that one of the ushers is coeliac. That information needs to be in the plan without him running it.
What the app does about it
One link, fourteen people, no app to install
Drop the link in the chat. Everyone who opens it can see the whole weekend, hour by hour, and change it. No accounts to chase, no read-only PDF that is out of date the moment you send it.
Vote instead of arguing
Every suggestion can be voted up or down in the app. A karting session with nine votes and a spa with two is a decision, and it happened without anyone having to be the bad guy about it.
The plan says what is booked and what is not
Each thing on the itinerary is either a suggestion or a booking with somebody's name against it. Anyone can look and see that Saturday night is not, in fact, sorted.
Dietary requirements handled quietly
Say once that somebody in the group is coeliac and every restaurant on the plan is checked against what the venue actually publishes. Where nothing could be verified it says so, rather than guessing.
The bit that actually causes arguments
Log the villa deposit against whoever paid it, the minibus against whoever paid that, and the Saturday dinner split between the ten people who came. At any point the trip can tell you who is up, who is down, and the shortest set of transfers that squares everyone off. You send that list once. You do not chase anyone, because the number is not your opinion — it is arithmetic everyone can see.
Questions people ask
- How many people can be on one stag do plan?
- There is no fixed cap on a plan. Group size drives the pricing shown against activities, and it rises automatically as people join through the share link, so the per-head figures stay honest as the group grows.
- Can people join without creating an account?
- No — joining needs an account, because a trip is worth coming back to and the app needs to know whose name to put against a change. It takes about twenty seconds, and the plan is visible immediately afterwards.
- What happens when someone drops out after the deposit is paid?
- Remove them from the split on the items they are no longer part of and leave them on the ones they already owe for. The settle-up recalculates, so a non-refundable deposit they are still liable for stays on their side of the ledger.
- Can we book the activities through the app?
- Activities link straight through to the supplier — usually Viator — for the destination you have chosen. You complete the purchase there, then tell the app it is booked so the rest of the group can see it. Restaurants stay as suggestions, because a table for fourteen is a phone call.
- Does the stag see the plan?
- Only if you send him the link. Plenty of organisers build the weekend first, share it with the group, and give him a printed version on the Friday.
Plan it in about a minute
Four questions — where, when, who with, and anything the group can't eat. You get the whole trip back, day by day, and a link to send the others.
