90 days out
- Confirm the date with the groom and lock a headcount (take deposits from the lads now — it fixes the number).
- Pick the destination (see Ibiza vs Marbella, best time of year).
- Book flights — Thursday or Friday out, Sunday back. Same flight for everyone if humanly possible.
- Request your package quote: accommodation + transfers + activities + night-out plan. We hold villas and boats on option for 72 h.
30 days out
- Pay the package balance; confirm the villa damage deposit card.
- Book the strippergram / private show (150 € mainland, 240 € islands) and the boat — both sell out in summer.
- Dinner reservation for the big night (groups of 10+ need one).
- Create the WhatsApp group with flight numbers, villa address, our coordinator's number and the itinerary PDF.
- Check passports: 3 months validity beyond return for UK passports post-Brexit, and the 90/180-day rule.
The week of
- Order a group kit if you must — but no offensive fancy dress: Magaluf and Benidorm fine it and some venues refuse entry.
- Travel insurance for everyone (EHIC/GHIC covers emergencies, not a missed flight).
- Agree the money system: one card for shared costs + Splitwise, or a kitty of €150 pp.
- Download offline maps; screenshot the villa pin.
Day of
- Transfers meet you landside with a name board — send the coordinator your landing time.
- Check-in, then eat before you drink. Spanish dinner is 9–10 p.m.; the first bar night peaks at 1 a.m., clubs at 3.
- Keep the show time confidential from the groom and have the room/terrace ready 15 minutes before.
- Noise: villas in Marbella and Ibiza enforce quiet from midnight — party at the venue, sleep at the villa.
The rules that save the weekend
- Nobody drinks on the balcony edge. Spanish police and hotels take balcony incidents very seriously; fines and deportation are real.
- No street drinking in Magaluf and parts of Ibiza — on-the-spot fines up to €1,500 under the 2024 tourism-of-excess decree.
- Respect the performers: the show is a performance, not a service. Touching ends it.
- Keep the groom's passport in the safe, not in his pocket.
