    Well, I dunno, I felt the LC forum was in need of a thread for this topic, it's a significant part of the whole Leaving Cert experience :P Posts about it in the OT thread get lost n' stuff, so with debs season approaching (mine's in two weeks), get discussing! :D

    Mines in September too thank god :P
    Ahh transport, thats in the minute detail section like what I should do with my hair atm.
    the biggies atm are dress and who to bring, even if I can settle on one of those..

    Best thing about being a guy is that I can't really go wrong with a suit. The big thing is who to go with because you need to be able to have a good time with them.

    Go with the dickie bow! I've always had a bit of a thing for them.

    Our tickets were €70 each (last year's were €65) and I only bothered/had the money to buy one so no date crisis for me thank god! I've had the dress since just after Christmas, bought it in a Debenhams sale in England, £79 reduced to £22.50, I couldn't resist such a bargain! Helps that I'm in love with the dress too I suppose.

    There used to be an ongoing one over the last couple of years, but it was getting awful long anyway; a fresh start may be no harm. ;)

    Depends on the cut, really, but you can't go too far wrong with classical black and white.

    Our tickets were €72 each and I bought two. €144 ... Have a date sorted though so all I need is a suit, box of chocolates and a corsage then I'm sorted. Transport is included in our tickets with two party buses taking us to the venue then the nightclub and back to the venue for breakfast before heading home. I genuinely cannot wait for it.

    These tickets sound sooooo expensive lots of people saying their tickets were 70 euro alone without their dates tickets :eek: do you all get really fancy dinners or something?

    Our tickets were about 140 for the two, including an optional tenner for 2 copies of a photograph at the hotel. This included a meal of a soup starter, some chicken in white wine sauce wrapped in bacon for main course and dessert, which I've forgotten (looking forward to the food immensely :D ). Also, champagne reception and transport, so I guess that's what it covers. Can't wait! :D
