    Psh! Debs during school is RIDICLOUS!

    You should have it after the LC results and CAO offers when everyone knows what they're doing!
    But ya, during school is a no-no :p

    Depends on who's organising it.
    A few of my friends set up an unofficial committee because our school wouldn't give us a debs. They arranged it for January. The night went down in legend.

    Yeah I remember that year group! It was supposed to have been a terrible debs! In the Clarion right? I heard they wrecked the place, food fights etc. Idiots.

    No?? Everyone was far too well behaved IMO...

    The worst we had was a fairly funny incident! The guy snuck into the kitchen, passed god knows how many waiters and kitchen staff, down a stairway and into the wine cellar! he was found down there by the guy in charge of wines sitting in a corner on the ground tucking into a €70 euro bottle of wine. Luckily for him he had a lot of cash to pay for it and that he wasn't one shelf over where the really expensive wines were!

    I wanna go in the dumb and dumber tuxes top hats and pimp canes and all. just need to get one of the lads to wear the other tux. the girl I'm bringing don't mind as long as my tie matches her dress. I can't find them anywhere though. It would be gas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭SarcasticFairy


    I think it's mostly a case of what you like/feel comfortable with, yourself. At my own debs, the guy I was going with rang me when he went to get his tux and asked if I wanted him to match (he'd seen my dress), and I didn't care either way, so I told him to do whatever he wanted. He ended up wearing a hot pink tie, to match my dress. I'd never force him to wear a bright pink tie, though.

    The second debs I went to, the guy specified he would not, under any circumstances, be wearing a tie to match my dress. He just wore a black bow-tie, and it looked nice too.

    Iunno, they were two very different guys. I can't imagine the guy from my debs in just a black bow, and the guy from the other in a bright pink tie. Their choices suited them :) Then again, I didn't care much about the whole debs thing and had to be dragged dress shopping and chose the first dress I found, so I was never going to be the type who demanded we look picture perfect or anything.

    One of my friends wore a dickie bow and he was kind of sickened because his hot date really insisted on it and being ever obliging he did it. We slagged the absolute shiiiiiit out of him in the run up to the debs saying he'd be the only one to wear one etc and he didn't want to himself. Truth be told it looked extremely well and classy. I wish I had worn one :o

    I went to the debs the year before my own one and 4 or 5 girls decided to wear different colours of something similiar to this dress. They looked ridiculous (they were even more poofy than that) but the best moment was when, no joke, they couldn't fit through the doors of the hotel to get out to the smoking area. We lol'd :D

    If that was his grad that's ok but if it was your's I'd consider that rude!

    Sucks to be the people in her class photo though, they'd have looked like an unusually big crowd of bridesmaids.

    It was his debs, yes :) But I think he'd gathered I didn't care either way, so he could say that without being worried I'd take offence or whatever :)

    There's a school in Limerick where in September just gone, two girls had to sit at a table on their own, away from their dates, due to the size of their dresses.

    Why? Like why would you want to wear a dress of that size? Just why?

    It's a dominance thing. Like the hoopy earrings.

    But it's not sexy/pretty/classy/glamorous.. I don't how anybody can look at that and think it looks good!

    That doesn't stop plenty of women slapping on fake tan either, when it always looks bad.

    Ah now, fake tan cannot be compared to a dress with a skirt of a 2m diameter! Fake tan is easy to get wrong, but looks stunning if done right!

    Hard to tell if there'd really be a big difference due to the tan since she looks like a different person in every way, but the tan looks nice and subtle. I was wrong.:pac:

    I went to the Debs with a guy that asked a week before it, but he was a good friend that chickened out on asking a girl he liked at the time. It's pretty hard to organise everything in a week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    Well for a girl it'd be Hard to do it all in a week, if you really wanted I'm sure you could.

    Pretty sure my bf left everything til the week before to organise stuff for my debs. There's not really a whole lot, rent a tux, I'm sure most guys have nice shoes, organise the corsage, on the day get chocolates/wine for the mum. That could easily be done in a week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭LilMissCiara


    I feel so silly for asking this (:p) but girls how did you/will you bring up the subject of suits and stuff with your 'date'?

    I don't wanna seem like he has to wear what I say but black just won't go with my dress..! It's my grad/debs but would it be rude to tell him to wear navy?!

    Be like 'Oh, do you know what kinda suit you want yet?' Make it sound like he's deciding to wear a navy suit.

    Was thinking that and then being like Navy would suit my dress but is that not obvious?!

    I suppose he is a lad though! :P
