so have you yours organised yet?

are you inviting the tran-years who you started school with?

what's the etiquette on who you bring?i.e if your in a relationship with someone in your year do you bring someone outside the school?

personally(me being single)i'll probably bring some random girl who i know i'll end up having the craic with the lads and ditching her so i'm trying to find someone who gets on with the girls in my year

The lad I took is now going out with my younger sister, the slagging we still get for that...I think if you're going out with someone you more or less have to bring them though. Though the sister's boyfriend is now talking about bringing me :pac:

People build the debs up way too much though, it's basically just a standard night out with your mates but in fancy dress. Can't believe it when people spend hundreds on the dress and get the limo and all that, what;s the point like?

hahaha mine was ****in ****, i mean the one that asked me to hers was soooo ugly but i couldnt say no coz my mum said it would hurt her feelings. it was **** the debs, real boring.

my debs was not much better, but good enough. last laugh with the lads and all that.

oh i'm not thinking highly of it at all

i'd say we'd have better craic in the chinese for a meal and then up to the pub/club

Hahahaha, why would he not bring your younger sister? He is going out with her after all? What is the age gap between you?

You won't remember it.

Expensive memory loss. :eek:

When I was in school the people who did ty were allowed to come anyway and to invite someone, they didn't have to be invited.

First Debs I went to I went with a good friend which I think is MUCH better than going with someone you're going out with, well, in my case it was. My boyfriend at the time was a few years older than me and didn't know anyone there so I was kinda... stuck is the wrong word but yeah, I was stuck with him for the night so I couldn't really enjoy myself as I kept having to entertain him and introduce him to people and what not.
To make matters worse he then got absolutely plastered drunk and I had to send him home in a taxi at half one. Really wrecked my night like.

I didn't go to my last debs, (yes, 3 debs for the same school) because I was repeating my exams and didn't really know anyone in the year.

I still regard my first debs as being one of the best nights out I've had... 3 years later.

For the love of God,do not,I repeat,DO NOT cop off with someone else's date!!

Happened to me and ruined what otherwise would have been a great night.:(

Good decision tbh. My debs was sh1te. The food was deadly and my date was one of my good friends so that was grand but the actual thing was just awful. Bathrooms were covered in vomit before 10 o clock. Absolutely disgusting.... My year were horrible creatures.

Didn't go to mine,
Too much money to go and see aload of people get pi$$ed and then fight with eachother
And i don't drink so it wouldn't be fun..

Mine has just been booked, tickets are really expensive though, €300 for both. Duno who I'm going to bring, my boyfriend can't stand my friends.

Bargain with him.
Say
"If you come to this with me, I'll go to UFC/A football match/(something he enjoys and you don't) with you"
All the cool kids are doing it these days.

Piste

Nah he doesn't like sport,and I get on with his friends, so there's nothing really to bargain with! He knows I'll go to anything he wants me to.

phasers

I'm not going to mine. I hate most of my year, why would I want to go out with them?

I'm using Debs money to sort out my car and on the night I'm going to Bray with my mam and sister :pac:

My grads night was actually way better than my Debs. As for the 'who to bring' question, I was worried I'd have to ask some randomer I didn't really talk to or get on with from my year, then I got with somebody just before the end of sixth year, so we went together- good timing! :pac:
