How much is your debs costing?

Caryatnid

Hey. Just wondering how much you are paying for your debs ticket this year. How much do you reckon you'll be spending altogether?

deisedolly

My debs was last Thursday night and I had a great time but christ it was some expensive night!!

Tickets: €90 (me plus partner)
Dress: €330
Shoes: €180
Jewelary: €130 (got mammy to buy me a lovely bracelet :-p)
Hair: €80 (coloured and styled)
Tan, eyebrows, nails and makeup: €80
Photographs: €30
Drinks: around €100

I think thats everything.... wow it cost €1020!!!

jimi_t

Tickets for our one are e100 each so it's looking like I'll be bringing a sixpack.

**** the limo - only down the road in Ballsbridge. I wouldn't be a big fan of that pompous crap tbh and I think drinking in Herbo beforehand and walking up is tradition anyway

Tuxwise, my dad got me one made to measure in Thailand a few months ago for absolute peanuts so that's that covered. Jewellery, hair, makeup :rolleyes:

I should get off for under e250 I reckon.

GretchenWieners

What??!! €1050?!?!? You should be shot!!!!

Tux rental (2nights, yes I'm going to another as well): €45 each night
Chocolates and flower thing-€60 max each night
Drink: €75 for both nights.

€225, I still think it's robbery!!!
Getting a lift in, screw the limo crap, I'll ask someone who has a nice car!!

UU

Mine Debs is on 4th October.

Suit - €40 - €50
Limo - not sure yet, a bit too expensive for my tastes
Ticket - €65 (€130 for two). My bf isn't sure if he can make it unfortunately
Drink - Em, PRICEY!

And what's more, I don't even know where my Debs will be held!

brid_m

i had mine in march

75euro for my dress
30euro for my stilettos
60euro for the jewellery
50euro for tickets
40euro for photos
30euro for drinks

Did my make up and hair myself

All in all 285euro for my debs!! Best night ever!!

Faerie

My Debs isn't for another month but so far I've spent,

Dress -250E
Tickets - 100E

which is 350E already.....christ and I don't even really want to go!

I'll still have to pay for,

hair - probably about 100E
Shoes - maybe 100E
bag - 59E (I've got my eye on one!)
and drink, taxis, pictures, limos etc on the night!

Thank the gods my parents are paying!

Haha, I know its REALLY OTT for a pair of shoes! Got them in Brown Thomas and they're just fab! They're not like typical debs shoes and I'll def wear them going out into town so I'll get my moneys worth!

*Tripper*

180 for shoes thats hardly OTT

Rockerette

mine was back in january, so i cant remember for sure

dress - 250
shoes/bag - 50
jewellery - 30
hair/makeup - 60
ticket - 50 i think
just got a taxi which someone else paid for.. and most of my drinks were bought for me too.. but say, maybe
drinks - 15



405 in total i suppose. the dress cost the most.. and even tho it wasnt that expensive, i resented payign that much for it (im usually a bargain bitch...)



oh wait, photos afterwards were about 70 i think, cos i got individual one, and the 3 classes aswell

It isn't OTT, it's gorram ridiculous! I can't think of any single thing, bar computer components, that I would spend 180 euro on. It's absolutely insane. The 4 pairs of shoes i own cost $60, €20, $10 and nothing. If I spent €180 on shoes, they'd sodding well have to let me walk on water.

[/rant]

*Tripper*

Different folks, different strokes i guess!

Raphael

No, spending 180 euro on shoes is insane, unless you live in a house made of diamonds

eamoss

I cant remember how much I spent on my debs it was 8months ago :eek:


My shoes wer about €70 and im lad, thing is I havent worn them since :rolleyes: but its becasue I use other shoes when im headin out!!

david

Well I had two Debs' Last week, Me and my gf's both in the red cow.

Suit: €250
Shoes: €110
2 Shirts: €80
2 Ties to match gf's dresses: €80
4 Tickets: €280
Drinks (2 nights): About €150?
Chocolates: €30
2 orchids and flowers for the mother: €60
Mates Ferrari: Free!

Thats €1040 for me, and i'd say the gf spent more gettin 2 dresses made, shoes, jewellery, makeup, tan, eyebrows, legs etc.

Fúck me thats a lotta money.

JackKelly

In fairness,while I can't stand needless spending, 170E on a pair of shoes isn't all that ridiculous. Especially if they are quality shoes, and will be used for other occasions. It's when you hear people buying shoes for 500E etc that things get stupid. Or like i've seen in some shops, belts for 200E +.

Peyton Manning

Tickets: e90 (for the pair)
Tux Hire: e65
Limo: e75
Haircut: e10
Photos: e20
Drink: e40

Total: e300

Not too shabby, considering I saved on the orchid (girlfriend had a flower thing she wanted to wear instead) and the flowers and chocolates (girlfriend travelled a long distance to attended it).

Btw, were there awards at ur debs? My gf won Belle of the Ball - and she wasnt even in our class - only a guest! Surely thats not right, but I wasnt complaining...

exiot

Tickets = €100
Tux Hire = Cant Remember, but last year it was about €70
Corsage or whatever its called = €15

I couldnt bear to do it all.. "properly" ("dude, you are not coming to my house to be judged by my neighbours...").
it was such an over-rated night.. but sure, a bit of a laugh i suppose. you only do it once like..

Then don't wear one. Everyone will only think you're a prat!

There's nothing wrong with them anyway, any awkward feelings you have will go as soon as you see everyone else in them.

Rockerette

Nah you dont have to wear a tux, loads of people just wear shirt/normal tie/jacket

well, tehy did for mine anyway

Funkstard

I estimate everything will come close to €900 or so for the night. Jaysus.

Raphael

Yep...really, really glad I skipped my debs. I'd be there tonight otherwise, spending money i don't have and missing my nine o clock lecture tomorrow.

Well its daddies, so who cares?

Also, true to your username you are indeed on a leash.
You bought your girlfriend tickets to her own debs, as well as yours :rolleyes:

Rozabeez

Bleugh... I'm paying the bf's ticket for mine, should be about 80 each. No idea about dress yet, I trust in myself to find cheapish shoes and do my own make up....hair and nails, god knows.

Went to a ball last year though, spent €15 on the dress....go super sales! and robbed shoes/shawl etc from other people, got the ticket free. neyehhe

That explains a lot then...

Aero787

I've to pay a €70 deposit for my grads tickets, but I dunno how much they'll cost in total. I have a tux but I'll probably hire a classier one for the craic. Is hiring a helicopter a bit extravagant? I'll do it if I'm dared (and payed!)

Such has how my bank account doesn't have an overdraft of 500 quid?

Rozabeez

Friends dad mentioned getting us a limo, he's in the ol' car business so that'd be pretty cool. I'm a bit freaked at the mo tbh, might have 2 debs and a youth awards ball this year...dunno how I'm going to afford it if I don't wanna wear last year's dress!

Christ you sound like great fun.

Went to three this year, spent a fortune but tbh money comes and goes. Worked hard for the money so im damn well gonna have a good time spending it. A great bank balance doesnt compare with good times and good memories tbh!

Rozabeez

I'm sure it does if you're going to college somewhere far away, I'm hoping to go to LIT and if I have to come home for my debs and then pay for a load of stuff, where's my rent and my food money coming from?

Corruptedmorals

Don't know yet, but I went to this years one, because I did TY and we were entitled to.

Tickets: 70 each, I just paid for mine
Dress: 33. Internet FTW.
Shoes: 40. Schuh sale!
Make-up: About 50
Bag: 50. But it's STUNNING.
Hair and actual make-up application- FREE. Yay for my sister!
Drink: 60
Formal photos: 12.50..split cost of 25. And I got 3. Good value...

Was a great night, this years debs won't be in the same place thanks to legal issues (knacker went mad and attacked people: broken bottle and such) so tickets might be more expensive, I'll probably splash out a bit more on my dress too.

Rozabeez

tbh, with the debs committee we have..who knows what we'll end up with!
