When a couple has a big party to raise money for their wedding or honeymoon. Generally, it`s an all-day affair and you tend to have games to help entice people to give money. Prizes can be anything but it's usually liquor or money. You don`t have to just invite the guest list... anyone can come. The more, the merrier!! It`s usually not an elegant affair. A barbeque or picnic styled stag n` drag is common. The parties are thrown anywhere from several months before the wedding to two weeks before. Originated in Pennsylvania.
