    December is just crazy. October isn't too bad but still so much will have changed in that time... Like for ve one in december, unless they've all organised their dates now they could end up bringing people they know from college etc. There'll be loads of strangers there and stuff! I dunno but I think that'd be off putting. It's kind of tradition here that the girls school matches off with the lads school and stuff because everyone knows eachother. Maybe I'm wrong though

    I won't know any of my years' dates and they won't know mine - hell, I barely talk to half my year and don't have a lot of them on Facebook...strangers won't be unusual. :P

    Oh sure it'll be grand so. Maybe it's just our area. Everyone knows everything about everyone. It's crazy. I'm not really really close to loads of people from the other schools but the majority know of you you know? Our year was very close though. Regardless of a few feuds between the girls it was dead tight!

    I cant even imagine that, I hated half my year (the typical waster types, all OL and 2 FL, those kinda guys) and the other half I liked but I'd never really hang out with them a whole lot, save for a tiny handful. Most of them hadn't a clue about me as a person outside of school and thats the way I like it. :P

    A nice friendly year sounds great though, but I prefer to chill with my select few :cool::pac:

    I'm the exact same. I won't know 90% of the girls there and nobody but a few friends will know my date.

    Suppose you might need a shirt... Unless you want to go bare chest? :P Waistcoat isn't really necessary... Unless you want to spend money. I'd go for just a tie. Simple and classy :cool:

    How much are lads spending on their suits?
    And following from that, how much are girls spending on their dresses?

    I thought as much!
    Guys do pay more for a decent suit. If we want something for 70e its either rent or Penney's.

    My Suit jacket, trousers, tie and shirt was 300e. And I still have to get shoes and a waistcoat. Looking at around 400e for the lot, and girls can get dresses for around 120e.. :(

    o__O

    I imagine I'll be wearing something similar to what I wore on grad...idk. I don't think it was THAT expensive.

    Is it "bad" to use things I already have, like a shirt? Or even shoes? I could afford new ones or whatever but I think it's sort of stupid to buy extremely similar clothes just for the sake of it.

    Could have bought a suit for €180 but because I'm still growing I said I'd hold off buying until like next summer or so...so I rented one for €85. That includes the jacket, trousers, shirt, waistcoat, cravatte and cufflinks. Not too bad in fairness. But yeah with corsage, flowers, chocolates and probably a few others things I'm forgetting it's definitely around €150 and thats not counting the money for the night itself. Yep regardless of the night that'll be in it, it's hardly worth that amount of money. We'll see though :pac:

    I'm going to be looking for a suit in and around 200e. Already have shoes I got for 45 half price.
    At least it can be used again.
    I'd say I'll end up paying about €600 all in when you include tickets and there's no possible way to justify that amount of money spent!

    My suit was a bit over 150, I can't remember exactly. It's the same one I wore for my grad, sure I'd hardly buy another one! :pac:
