    im having my debs in 2 weeks and im not fully sure about everything yet. its my debs and im going with a date to it and i was wondering what exactly do i have to get her anyway? i know theres the flower bracelet but do i need to get her some flowers or a single rose?
    i heard people getting stuff like chocolates and flowers for her mother and mine but does that actually happen?
    thanks anyway :)

    Get her a corsage. Bitches love corsages.

    The corsage is pretty standard practice but anything after that is up to you. Is this two friends going together, or are you a couple (or do you want to be?) If you're looking for a romantic gesture maybe save it for afterwards, drop some flowers up the next day with a nice thanks/you looked great note

    A box of chocolates/bottle of wine for the mammy never goes amiss (It's kinda her day too, yano?) but you absolutely don't have to get her anything. Sure féck it, even just being a gentleman to the mammy will put you in her good books

    yes ive ordered the corsage today, well no were not a couple but were close enough.

    ye sure i might get some chocolates then for her, what about the flowers part do i need to get any for her or the mother?

    and will i get chocolates for my mother or what usually happens?

    A girl invites you to her debs, is there anything else you have to buy her apart from coursage, mother's chocolates/flowers and drinks all night? You hardly have to pay for the transport? Or offer to pay for your ticket?

    Generally, whoever's debs it is pays for both tickets but you can offer to pay for yours if you want. Transport is her responsibility. Buy her drink, but not too much, it looks a bit weird if you get her too much...

    Honestly, the way some people talk about the Debs, you'd swear they've just been invited to afternoon tea at Buckingham palace. Once the awkward photos are over and the meal is finished, it's like any other night, just relax and enjoy it. Be grand. :)

    Alright thanks for that!

    Also, on principle, if I was to be invited for afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace, I would politely decline :)

    Corsage, box of chocolates for your date. Bunch of flower and maybe a bottle of wine for the mammy.

    That's all you need really

    Don't forget chocolates and flowers for her mother. Especially if you want to get in there you'd want to be making a good impression :)
