The Debs Ireland - Some great tips

The Debs Ball Ireland - Some Planning Tips with  Debszone.ie

Debs Tickets If dinner is not served at Debs then the tickets usually cost between €30-€500 per couple. If dinner is included in the ticket price then it could cost between €90- €150 per couple. If this is the case, you may want to offer to split the cost of the ticket with your date.

Debs Dresses The style of dresses varies from year to year. Looking in magazines can give you an idea of what is popular. You can go to a dressmaker to have one custom made, but that can get very expensive. Shopping around in local stores and bridal shops will give you a chance to check out the latest fashions in your area. Shopping on line has become a very popular way to see a variety of debs dresses in one place. Many on line retailers offer detailed instructions on sizing and selection to insure proper fit. Most girls spend between €200-€550.

Deb Accessories Stay away from big earrings. Try on stockings beforehand to make sure the color looks right. Carry a small purse that is just big enough to hold lipstick, money, an extra pair of hose, and possibly a camera. Debs Photographs There will be a photographer at the Debs to take your Debs Photos. These picture packages can be rather expensive. Get the price list at school before the night of the Debs so that you can plan accordingly. Most photographers take checks with the proper ID or credit cards. That would be safer than carrying cash. You could spend between €50 - €150 on pictures. Check with your schools photographer for packages and payment options.

Debs Hair/Nails/ Debs Make-up Usually girls have these done professionally for their Debs night. Some salons will do all three for you, or you could schedule appointments at different places.

In fact, the word "debutante" is derived from the French word "debuter," which means, "to lead off." In the English court of St. James, the parents of young and affluent girls were looking to join the girls in marriage to men of comparable social standing and pedigree. During the court's season of April through July, many parties were held among the upper-class royals. the emerging, yet extremely wealthy, middle class soon sought sponsors to present their daughters to this group of entitled bachelors and their families. The first party of the season involved the presentation of these women to the Queen. The bow to the Queen is now referred to as the St. James bow, and is the highlight of the debutante balls of today. According to Wikipedia, Queen Elizabeth II abolished the formal presentation of debutantes to the court in 1958.

 Significance The original purpose of a public debut was to announce a young girl's eligibility for marriage. Debutante balls are also known as "coming-out-parties," cotillions and debuts. The debutantes wear white formal ball gowns and pearls. Modern debutante balls or debs balls in ireland signify the end of secondary school and teenage years and transition to adulthood as most debutantes are in the age category of 17-18 years old. In Ireland Debs Balls are held during the months of July to November
