Raffle Prizes
My brother is getting married soon and he is having his Stag and Doe party, which I am helping plan. Right now, I need to figure out some good prizes to get to raffle off. I want to have a couple of gifts that would appeal to both men and women. My mom wants stuff like dinner vouchers and gift certificates, but I don't see that type of thing really selling tickets. You guys and gals are a creative and clever bunch, so help me out. Anyone have any good ideas?

Beverage companies. If you will have Coke as a mix call your local botteler, and say "we were thinking of serving Coke products, and we need some raffle prizes." Same thing with beer companies. It might mean that you have to stick with one family of beer, but often these companies have somewhat deeper pockets.
Any of the socials that I have helped plan; we ended up getting most of our stuff for free from those places.

Ipod Shuffles work pretty good, and they aren't overly expensive.

I hear dates with Eastern Girl could fetch some big dollars 
If you have a design twitch, you can get these guys to make it:
http://www.etsy.com/
I did that for a few people this Christmas and they absolutely loved it.

Ha, yeah, I am sure my brother would love to raffle off his little sister to one of his friends...
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

Sure, I could raffle off something from my personal collection! It is for my brothers benefit after all.

HA! Now THAT made me laugh out loud.
On a more serious note....I've been to a few where they raffled off enormous bottles of booze. No idea what size they were, just frickin' huge though. Good money-makers apparently.

I believe a "Texas Mickey" is usually pretty popular. the last Stag&Doe/Buck&Doe/Social (whatever you want to call it) did well with Labatt swag, but the bride worked there (Labatts in London) and got it all for free, so that helped.

I have no experience with women being at the stag. Hopefully both parties have a night of their own when they can cut loose without the opposite sex around.
Other ideas for raffle prizes: CDs, DVDs, a round of golf for a foursome, a day at the spa, hockey tickets, a night at a nice hotel and/or casino, a bottle of port, iTunes gift cards, and...there should be at least a couple of gag gifts (like the inflatable sheep mentioned above).

yep, here it is boys, our one last frontier, the stag - most guys only get two or three of those and women have moved in there too!
it's so over.

Lately I think both happen - a Stag & Doe for the couple where anyone who has any idea who they are will come to (making it a big dance) and a smaller stag party with 15-25 friends doing all the more traditional Stag things.

great, but a stag can only ever be a roving drunken loud group of (you're right The Goon) CAMERALESS men.
anything else, is NOT a stag.
period.

Yes, you men are so hard done by.
My brother is having the Stag and Doe and then he will head off with his groomsmen to Vegas. His fiancee with her bridesmaids, myself included, will head off on a cruise. Neither will suffer the injustice of not having a party sans the opposite sex.

Damn, sounds better then my Stag. I got a round of golf (which I had to pay for myself), a trip to the French Maid and a night at Metropolitan Grill (did I mention I had to pay for my supper and a large portion of drinks at this one too) Ahh yes the joys of having cheap ass friends
Oh yah and your brother is one lucky SOB, My wife would never have let me go to Vegas
