Planning a stag do that involves water? A boat party, a pool villa, a lake day or a sneaky sea swim the morning after? Matching swimwear is the easiest way to make the group look like a team (and make the photos far better). Here's how to sort it.

Wedding prints for the groom and his crew

Our wedding prints are made for exactly this. The groom gets his own pair, and the rest of the party match without looking identical.

• Groom: the star of the show.
• Best Man: for the one with the speech.
• Groomsman: for everyone else.

See the whole wedding print collection. They're made in our Sydney factory from GRS certified recycled fabric with SPF 50+ protection, so they'll survive the stag do and the honeymoon too.

Personalised stag do swimwear

Want the groom's face on every pair? Or a slogan, a date or an in joke only the group understands? Design your own with our DIY Budgy Builder, which works from a single pair, so everyone can order their own size. For bigger groups, teams and clubs, our custom team swimwear service can design something from scratch with you.

Custom pairs are made to order and take a few weeks, so order well before the trip.

Pick a print the whole group can agree on

Not into the wedding theme? Choose any of our prints and have the whole crew wear it. A few that always go down well:

• Chilli Willies: red chillies on navy.
• Union Dacks: a Union Jack print for a UK based do.
• Budgy Stout: for the pub crawl crowd.
• Rainbow Fire Breathing Unicorn: for groups who don't take themselves seriously.

Finish the look

Add matching party shirts in breathable Tencel for the evening, and bucket hats for the day. Group photo sorted.
