Stag do blunder plz help

I'm sorry but I did laugh when I read this, some guys are so terrible at organising things!

I wouldn't worry about it, it's their problem. I've never been to a ladies night at the races, will they not be allowed in or does it just mean the night is aimed more towards ladies?

IMO no, ive been several times its just a chance to get dressed up, i went to ascot last year and its just as many men as women i wouldnt worry x

Thanks for your replies.

Kriek- I wanted to laugh too until i was made to feel rubbish about it. I don't see my mum's problem either as my brother is entitled to do what he wants and my dad is a 50 something year old married man. It's me if anyone who should be worrying!!

Michelle772012- Thank you that is what i thought too. It is generally a mans thing anyway so of course there will be men there. I feel so annoyed though x

Don't let your mum's comments get to you. Is your mum worried that they went to chase the ladies?

Have you spoken to your fiancee? I'd send him a text asking if he remembered his fascinator.

Not sure what your mums problem is either but u shouldnt feel rubbish at all, the ladies are to dress in clothes that are appropriate for say royal ascot knee length dresses, hats or facinators nothing untoward at all as far as im aware, my h2b is also doing the races xx

I am not too sure what my mum is thinking as i didn't know what she wanted me to say', i'm sorry i'l tell them to come home!!??' If they look stupid and not me then i am not bothered but she made me feel like i should be worried they have gone on ladies night!

Yes i have spoke to my OH and he said they had just found out as they had arrived coz his best man just booked the tickets and didn't check.Useless git!! I'l be having words with him when i see him next lol.

Old bear- exactly, i wasn't worried until my mum rang and now she has me thinking all sorts. I know there will be a good few men there tonight too and if it was a normal race night there prob would have been just as much chance of there being lots of ladies there then too. I feel so confused and annoyed now!

I'm on a real downer and it honestly hadn't even bothered me till now.

I am sorry but this has made me chuckle which was just what the doctor ordered. Maybe your Mum has got the wrong end of the stick? ?

Glad it is making someone laugh ? It has made me worry less knowing you all see the funny side as my initial reaction when she told me was to laugh till mum made it something to make me think twice about but i can see my mum's point but i personally wouldn't have rang her if it was the other way around as i wouldn't have wanted to worry her!! Mothers eh.

Honestly you have nothing to worry about! My brothers girlfriend goes to lots of ladies nights at the races and theres always loads of men there too! Maybe your mum thought it would literally be nearlly all women?

Doesn't look that scary to me https://www.andtheyreoff.co.uk/ladiesday/ does she think they are ladies of the night lol.

I think it's just that they are tailored towards women but i amsure there will be more men there.

I def think your mum has got it wrong. I've been to several ladies 'days' at the races & like others have said, it only means you should be appropriately dressed. I've always found there are still more men than women anyway.

I'd more more worried if they were going to a table dancing club or lap dancers. Other than drunken girls in heels & hats, what is your mum so worried about?

I think this is the case as she did say they are going to look stupid with a load of women and be the only few men (she wasn't laughing though like i wanted to) I see the stupid and funny - typical man side of it!!

I want to ring her back and reassure her but then i think why am i reassuring her! I've never had this problem with my mum before she is usually the level headed one!

Thanks Teal that makes me feel a bit better about it. I am not too sure what she is worried about, unless she just thinks it is strange. She said she had tried to call my dad to tell him, what she expected him to do i don't have a clue!!!

I work in horse racing industry, believe me, it's just an old tradition were the women wore the fanciest clothes etc... Ladies day is the same as any other day in the race meeting generally, with usually a best dressed competition and other promo stuff.

I'm going to a 'ladies day' next month as a surprise for OH birthday, it's not about being single or anything. Tell your mum not to worry...unless your dad is seriously hot like ?

Im sure its just referring to the dress code. Usually you can wear whatever, but on ladies night you dress up smart, which I guess would have been more suiting to such an important event as a stag do, otherwise they could have gone down the pub and watched the races on the tvs

Ps maybe she thinks its a 'ladies only' night?

Thanks for all your replies. I have rang my mum with lots of reassurance from all you have posted and she said she didn't mean to worry me or make it sound like it was anything to worry about. She just ment that they will look like a bunch of twits lol and didn't his Bestman check first. She was more bothered in case they wouldn't be allowed in and it would ruin their plans as she was thinking Ladies night means strictly Ladies only.

So all is ok now and my OH has txt and said he it's good but raining and my bro and dad are on a winning streak!!

Panic stations over. Thanks for all your reassurances x

You or your mum really have no need to worry.

I should have been going to Ladies Night tonight at Aintree, but I gave it a miss because we went Chester races last week and we were wet and cold and I knew tonight would be the same!

I always go Ladies Night sometimes with my friends, both male and female. Sometimes me and the other half just go together. 'Ladies Night' is just a title, all it means is that its more of a formal evening so men wear suits and ladies wear dresses and facinators rather than jeans and t-shirt.

Enjoy the rest of your night and relax!

My work often organises nights at the races, Ladies nights are not a lot different to the normal races and it certainly does not stop the lads signing up to go!!

Get him to put a bet on for you and tell him you want to enjoy the proceeds and go on a spa weekend - always providing he does'nt put a bet on the three legged donkey at the back the field!?

I wouldn't worry too much - so what if it is ladies night? I'm fairly sure my OH will end up spending his stag do in a strip club if his brother has anything to do with it. Let them look at all the pretty ladies for the night, I'm sure they're all more than decent blokes.

Maybe she thinks they wont be let in or something?!

I wouldnt worry. If it makes you feel any better its my OH's stag tomorrow. My mum is having a right strop because my dad is going, and the best man is planning on ending up in a strip club. Despite the fact that my dad said to my OH in front of my mum that he was chuffed to be asked, yes he would go to the first couple of bars, but he has never and would never go to a strip club. Then he asked me to pick him up when he's had enough'when they go to the strip club, whichever comes first. I bet my dad rings me at half 9!

Haha, my H's bro (Best Man) Set his stag do for Blackpool on a date the pleasure beach was shut, which defeated the whole purpose. Thats men for you.

It does worry me that your mum doesn't seem to trust your dad though, but thats not your fault! You clearly trust your man though and thats whats important.

I really wouldn't worry. I worked at a Racecourse for six years and Ladies Day was just a chance for the Ladies to dress up a bit more and they were given a flower when they arrived. Other than that it is just a normal race meeting. Just the same number of guys as any other meeting.
