Celebration for the male deer? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stag party

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'celebration' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the male deer?' is the wordplay.
'the male' becomes 'stag' (a stag is a male deer).
'deer?' becomes 'party' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'stag'+'party'='STAG-PARTY'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stag party that I've seen before include "Rollicking night out for men" , "Boozy celebration for men preceding wedding" , "event for men" , "A drinking night out for groom-to-be, men only" , "pre-nuptial arrangement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
