Didnt bring a date here either. Just gave away the ticket in the end to mate who hadnt a ticket but was probably going to sneak in. It was good craic anyways. Band was class, DJ not so much.

Isn't it chocalates for the girl and flowers for her mother? And then you have to buy like another present for the girl?

Tie/cravat matching the dress is essential but silver cravat and a black dress goes pretty well too...

I'm not a sissy btw...

I thought it was chocolates for the mom and flowers for the girl(?)

And another present for the girl??

Think its the other way round. Makes more sense as the corsage is the "flower" for the girl.

As for other present, yeah, like cds/dvds or something. Its more of a new trend. The others are more traditional and the corsage is just an imitation of the American "Prom"

JC 2K3 · 17-08-2007 6:43pm

All this buying stuff....

Think I'll pass on the extra present(who buys CDs/DVDs anyway?)

*belle* · 17-08-2007 6:50pm

People who only have dial-up, like my gf.

Peasants....

I suppose it is Carlow though.

Charming:D

carlowboy · 17-08-2007 7:55pm

The dial up is up in Dublin. Not Carlow.

Turnip2000 · 17-08-2007 8:22pm

Would it really be that bad if the guy didn't but a corsage or whatever it is for the girl...this is the first I've heard of it!!

JC 2K3 · 17-08-2007 9:55pm

I don't think who I'm (hopefully) taking will really care tbh.

mise19 · 18-08-2007 1:42pm

mine's in a week!
looking forward to it

got my dress in house of fraser, it's lovely. got shoes in pamela scott

my tickets were €100
too expensive lol

whatshername!! · 18-08-2007 1:51pm

mines on wednesday cant wait. Have everyting sorted out.
My tickets were really cheap compared to most of yers only 45 each.
Only thing im dreading is we have to go to our school first and be "presented" basically walking up the lenght of the school hall on a red carpet and onto the stage. knowing me il end up on my ass before i reach the stage:o

Mars Bar · 18-08-2007 2:04pm

We had ours on July 17th!!

flonge · 25-08-2007 7:00pm

Had my debs yesterday..was really nervous on the lead up to it!!
It was the best night ever...I wish I could do it all again..:)

fonpokno · 25-08-2007 11:33pm

gah, im screwed for my debs! no dress (or shoes or anythin else that has to match the dress) and no date cos i broke up with my boyfriend like a week ago! ah feck it... i have til october to rope some poor unfortunate into it...:o

Tea-a-Maria · 04-07-2008 11:02pm

Mine isn't until August,but I'm really looking forward to it.Going to London on holidays,so hopefully I'll get a dress there and I already have a date:D.Sounds like I got ripped off on the tickets front!150 euro!Although that does cover everything and it's for two,so maybe that lessens the blow.I'll be damned if I'm getting a limo.Too expensive and not worth it.Plus,I can't imagine a limo negociating the bogger roads to my house!

PurpleFistMixer · 04-07-2008 11:10pm

My tickets were 160, (80 each), but it includes a bus there and back etc., so getting a limo is, imo a waste of money. Some people like them, though...
Keep forgetting about this though. Need to buy a dress. Bleh.

thatone! · 04-07-2008 11:17pm

I haven't got my dress, date or shoes.....I'm screwed!

Replace dress with tux and you have me too. heh...:o

I thought I was screwed too, but friends have convinced me not to worry about it, especially since there is still a good few from our year who still havent found anyone.

Twee. · 05-07-2008 12:47am

I have a dress (got it in April

) but my mam has decided we "can do better" so that could change. I've no date and no idea who I'm gonna bring!!

PrivateEye · 05-07-2008 1:00am

Getting a nice new suit. Don't like them tuxedos. Went to a debs of a eh..friend a while back, wore a nice suit. Good times were had by all, shame the music is ****e.

Debzzz is a good night out really. Mines not until Sept. plenty of time to think about it. It's different for us lads, still a big-ish night but I know plenty of young ladies in 'OMG'overdrive already over the thing.

Twee, is that palmerstown as in 'paaaarmo'? Cause if so I live there too. Its great.

Bug!!! · 25-07-2008 8:05pm

wat do u wear a tux or suit?? wats de difference

Tea-a-Maria · 25-07-2008 8:49pm

A tux has a dicky bow and a suit has a tie.I think that's the only difference..

Got me a gorgeous gúna in London on Wednesday!It was £149 which isn't bad considering you'd be paying around €250 for the same thing here.Haven't a notion how I'm going to wear my hair.It's a bit short,and I'm between two minds about growing it out or getting it cut again.Decisions decisions..

Don't like the idea of renting a tux, think they're borrrring and girls actually make a bit of effort at their Debs, you normally just see a few hundred lads in matching Tux's like they're at the Rose of Tralee or something and are supposed to be wallpaper.

Getting a nice suit. Reason being I'll OWN it then after, and suits look a little slicker anyways me thinks.

It's all "in my opinion" stuff of course, but personally it's always the suit.

Great idea, you'll look a lot better than the rest of them! Find out what colour your date is wearing and maybe go for a suit that isn't black.
