    Ours is that price and it just includes the 3 course meal, the band, then the DJ and a bar extension.

    Hmmmmm, I guess my debs will consist of a kebab, fruit salad and a CD player :p

    These tickets sound sooooo expensive lots of people saying their tickets were 70 euro alone without their dates tickets :eek: do you all get really fancy dinners or something?

    The tickets includes a photographer at the hotel, three course meal, candy cart, band, bus transfers, a ticket into the Forum nightclub and a breakfast buffet afterwards. Tbf I think it's a good deal especially when you have the whole lot covered and all you need is a suit/dress, a date if you're taking one and gifts.

    Lucky how yee all have bar extensions or nightclubs etc to go too.. I dunno what happens to us after 2 when we're kicked out of the hotel. Possibly roaming the streets for 5 hours waiting for the nearest shop to less breakfast rolls, how fun >.<

    I realise that this may be a stupid question but ye know the way the lads bring their dates mother flowers or chocolates or whatever? Do girls who are asked to a lads debs just bring themselves or what like? :P

    ... I completely forgot about bringing the chocolates to the parents.. :o Lads only bring chocolates to the parents when going to the girls' grad, right? Like, when going to the lads house, doesn't the lad and the girl return to the lads house before the grad? Don't know if that makes any sense or not.

    Regardless of who's debs/grad night it is, the lad will always pick the girl at her house and then meet everyone at the hotel or wherever the event is held. The lad will buy chocolates for the mother and a corsage for the girl. Girls who asked someone to their debs/grad night, you do not need to buy him anything. You could get him a pint or a shot at the bar but nothing formal with parents and family.

    Is €70 a decent budget for renting a suit?

    What does it include? If shoes are included along with shirt, tie, trousers and a jacket then it's a pretty damn good bargain. If shoes aren't included, it's still a good price.

    Oh that's a really good deal! I'm looking at mine in M&S and its €90 for the whole lot, including shoes. Not entirely sure on whether if I will buy it or not. Have to wait till my date comes back home from Turkey to see what she says.

    Ask your florist, they'll make it for you. You should have a local one nearby or in town
