Debs tips

Extempore

Tomorrow night, I'll be attending my first debs and I'm a bit anxious about all the before-hand stuff, such as arriving at my date's house and all that jazz.

As far as corsages go, what colour would be best to go with a cream dress, and exactly how do I go about giving it to her?

Her parents are the part I'm most anxious about. Flowers and chocolates are sorted, but again, how do I go about giving them to her parents?

Also, my time is limited tomorrow. I've got school-related stuff in the afternoon until 2:30 and I'm due to be at her house at 4:30. This gives me two hours to get home, drive to Swords, collect my tux, get home, go to a friend's house — who's also going to the same debs — and do some things there.

Would it be bad etiquette to bring my friend along, even with his date? I suppose it would be, but I'm nervous as hell.

That's about it, really. It may seem like standard stuff to some, but to someone like me, I probably won't sleep tonight if I don't have it all arranged in my head. Thanks a mill in advance!

Also, sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, I couldn't find an appropriate forum... and I'm a newbie. :rolleyes:

Don't worry about bringing your friend a group of four of us arrived at my debs this year, if you leave the other two in the car and go in on your own it would look better tho... As for giving her parents the chocolates just say "these are for you" and hand them over, it probably won't be half as bad as you think! have fun

Its just an over-rated night out.

About the corsage- "Here's a corsage!" and she'll go "awwh thanks" or something.

Dont worry itll be fine. I was late to meet one of my debs dates at her house and there were about 100 peole at her house waiting outside by the limo ( they were having a party at the house). Now that was terrible!

Get a pink orchad (corsage). Ones that go around their wrist are best. saves any the fumbling of putting it on if she asks you to help by the end of the night it will most likely be dead anyways lol

Your date will probably be nervous too. But remember all the gong to her house stuff is only for a few mins. The rest of the night should be awesome

Have a good time

From my experiences the worst thing that you could do is get horrendously drunk at your debs and forget what happened:D

You'l make a better impression than i did...
got invited to a debs and went last week, i was meant to be at house at 4.30...turned up at 5'15 and we had to rush to get the bus at 5'30 :P

Was still a great night

Me and my date looked all over town for a blue tie (the same colour as the dress) but we couldn't find anything. I did find a blue tie in Pennys that is the same colour as the dress but it is a narrow tie and not a wide tie - I bought it anyway as it was only 50 cent. If I can't find a wide tie, is it ok to wear a narrow tie, or would it not match with a suit?

Doesnt matter, you will have it taken off after a while anyways

With regard to ties, it doesn't really matter, as long as you are wearing a suit. It's not the be all and end all of matching your partner (2bh I used to think it was a bit over the top). For each debs I went to I never made a great effort to match my dates' dresses.

Have fun!

Skerries CC is it?
Just chill dude. I don't really get the big deal about the debs. It's an over-expensive night out, and that's about it.

Don't match, god no!
