One of our favourite old posts was a single line: "I don't remember much from last night but the fact that I needed sunglasses to open the fridge this morning tells me it was awesome." It is a good example of what a stag weekend leaves behind, a short sentence that sums up the whole thing. We have collected a dozen more in the same spirit.
Twelve captions
- I have no idea who won, but my legs and my wallet say it was not me.
- The best man has gone missing. The best man's shoes have not.
- We tried to be sensible for a full ten minutes. It was beautiful.
- Whoever ordered the last round: thank you, and also never again.
- The sash is still on, the groom is still smiling and nobody has asked where we are.
- If anyone finds a traffic cone, it is ours, and we are keeping it.
- I woke up fully dressed, with a fork in my pocket and no memory of why.
- The group photo is perfect. The group has never been this quiet.
- The plan was a quiet drink. The plan has left the building.
- We are all fine. We are all lying.
- The hotel breakfast has never been so important.
- Great weekend. See you all at the wedding, assuming we can stand up by then.
How to use them
- Pick a fewPost three or four at breakfast, one at lunch and one on the way home. A dozen at once is a lot.
- Add a photoA group shot of the sunglasses, the cups and the empty plates makes any caption better.
- Ask before you postShare a photo only if everyone in it is happy. The groom especially.
- Save the bestKeep two or three for the best man to read at the wedding.
Keep it kind. A morning-after joke is a good one when everyone laughs. It is a bad one if it embarrasses someone for real, shows them in a bad state or goes anywhere near an employer or a family member. When in doubt, leave it out.
