How much are yours? Ours are €65 but people are complaining.. I thought it was a very reasonable price compared to other prices I've heard.

For €120 I'd be expecting Michelin standard food and Coldplay playing after dinner! Is there something particularly special about it for that price?

AulBiddy

Not too sure, think they're 60 here as well. Would have cost less if it wasn't for the fact that our year is tiny and a lot of people from the year will probably end up going together

Ours are €80. Not the worst I suppose. €120 seems a bit excessive :eek:

EaSwe

Is the €120 each or does it cover you and your date?

Ours are €60.
To be honest I'm more worried about finding a date!

Get involved in something next summer after the exams like volunteering or a summer camp. Great place for finding dates what part of the country are you in?

Suit - €120
Limo - €88.50 each 4 people.

Well its on the last week of july and pretty desperate now haha, is anyone on the same boat as me or? Not that confident type of guy asking but i'm pretty sure if i asked i would get one :rolleyes:

Hollister11

I went last September with out a date. Quite a few of my mates did. It was great crack. We got a limo, in it was my and my 5 mates. Only two brought dates. You'll have a good time either way.

I went to two debs back in the day, think I talked to my date for about 15 minutes and then shagged off for the craic with the lads. Dates are over rated and expensive.

Blue giant

Plenty of people go without a date if you wanted to do that. If you really want a date I'm sure at this stage if you asked someone who didn't have a date either they would gladly go with you.

AulBiddy

I'm a girl and I don't have a date, and all my friends do I'm too shy to ask someone and the person I was going to ask asked someone else. I'm not actually worried, my mam is just disappointed that I'll have no one to be beside in the photos.

AulBiddy & LuckyDude.... Love is in the air

d1234

In the same boat! Know how it feels

gracew

The debs was one of the worst events I've ever attended. You will really miss out on nothing.
Cheap venues, hotel food, expensive suits/ dresses and tickets = over rated
You might not see this now.
Some people will bring their partners to the debs. Most people will be with their date for the pictures etc at the start and then fcuk off with their friends for the rest of the night. It might seem like a big deal now , but trust me it isn't.
Do yourself a favour and stop worrying about it. Look forward to college balls next year which are much more enjoyable.

ok thanks

If anyone is dateless and wants to go with someone, just ask them. I know that it's hard, but if you don't ask someone, there is no chance that they'll say yes to you. Furthermore, if you're even sort of close with the person and both of you are currently lone wolves, they'll more than likely be delighted to go with you. Even if they say no, you'll feel better in the long run just for trying. If they're the love of your life, it obviously wasn't meant to be and you can move on. If they're just a friend, they probably won't say no, but if they do, you wouldn't have a good night with them anyway.

Some people will bring their boyfriend or girl friend..
Most people will bring people they asked just to have a date.
After all the formalities people usually separate back into their normal group of friends.
Even if you don't have a date then you can still spend most the night with your friends..
Hope this clears it up.

What happens at the debs?
Lots of drinking and waiting for food. Then music and dancing( and more drinking)..
Then bus journey home.
Then people sober up and complain about it all..
Then you realise how overrated it is.

Don't worry about it. It will be ok.

I'd echo this thought. If there's someone who you think you may like to ask just ask them. It took me ages to finally ask the person I wanted (needed a bit of encouragement from our good friend alcohol). Even though she said she had asked someone else I felt much better for just asking. I felt bad for a second or two but then realised there's no point in worrying about it all. In the end things changed and I'm getting to go with her anyway

Hollister11

It really is over rated. ****ty food, watered down pints, then the cost of your suit, limo ect. I'm happy i went and experienced it. But i wouldn't go to another one if i was asked.

eman129

So I have my debs in about a month, and I'm just wondering if I still have to get my date a corsage if its my debs? Also, do I still have to get her mother chocolates? Could anyone give like a summary of how the day is meant to go, like the girl coming to my house etc etc..

if it's your debs, you go to their house, corsage and all. Well that's what we did.
