My debs is in three weeks.
Have the dress, have the shoes, have the bag, have the tickets, have the limo arranged, have the hair booked, friend is arranging the tan, have jewellary, have the date.
Costs approx: €558 (had to approx hair and tan). Wow, its an experience night, I'll say that! That doesn't include drink money for the night and when we come back home, there is an after party in my friends house which means more money. But, my dress can be shortened and I can use it for nights out and stuff so the dress will not be wasted which is a good thing! The limo was the most experience out of all of that. Everything arranged as far as I can think off.
Looking forward to the night. 0 -

^^^ I think bringing a mate tends to be the best course of action, 'cause then at least you know that you can look at your debs photo without cringing or bringing back bad memories of an ex.
I'm still dreading going dress shopping. Being a five two isn't the most helpful when debs dresses are designed for like, people five eight.
I had enough trouble getting one last year, I really don't want to go through it all again.
But the night itself should be a good one! I'm looking forward to it, I think.... =]0 -

I'm 5' so I was in the same boat as you. I found a dress that without heels, was hanging off me, lol. But with heels, its looks great and is the prefect length.0 -

Just from scanning through the posts in this thread, I have to say a lot of you are making too big a deal out of the debs! Countless american teen dramas would have you believe that the prom/debs is the most important, life-changing event of your life. Here's a revelation for yas: its not.
I work in a hotel and I've served at several debs this year so far and I've become de-sensitised to the whole thing. Some people have gotten too drunk and had to go home before the dinner even got underway; others stayed out in the smoking area with a few pints and didn't bother with half the meal! People get kicked out for being too rowdy in the niteclub part of the hotel and one fool even spilt his whole table's soup on top of himself (and worse, some girls expensive dress!)
There are no "rules" to a debs as some of you seem to assume. Just treat it as another night out, enjoy it, don't get too drunk. For those of you concerned that you don't know your date too well, relax. Everybody usually just hangs with their own mates after the meal anyway. So don't stress yourselves over the preparation ppl 0 -
The Debs is a great laugh.
For our school, we got to dress up as snobs for a night and get absolutely locked. It was a great night.
On "rules": I bought my date two drinks and then let her buy her own...might explain why I've only talked to her once in the eleven months since. 0 -

Not that im a guy...my friend (who bless him still has plucked up the courage to ask anyone yet) wants to know!
My date is 17 (im 18) and only going into 6th year in September. Two years age difference is the max IMO.
As for my debs....its in 4 weeks. I still have to get my tux and my dates ticket everything else is sorted. 0 -

don't get too drunk
:eek:

My debs isn't until September 12th (or 13th, me no know) but I'm more or less sorted now. The longer I left everything the less likely it was to get done.
Left the limo booking to a friend, he best have done it. I won't even think about that, I'm nervous enough about next Weds without bloody limos coming into things.
I agree completely with phenomenons post. The world still spins the day after, and *shock* even if you don't go.On "rules": I bought my date two drinks and then let her buy her own...
Recession, recession, recession.
I can't be buying feckin' multicoloured drinks all night for 'young uns'
Think I said it earlier in this topic, but the mate whos Debs I went to earlier this year doesn't really drink much, so the wallet didn't take the hammering it expected. I remember seeing the same poor fella at the bar all night looking a little less lucky :rolleyes:they decided they don't really like it, damn me valuing their opinion
Do you like it?
