I haven't let my daughters be debutantes. Here, the Symphony Guild invites certain fifth grade girls to be ribbon bearers for the debutantes and those girls are usually the Symphony Guild Debutantes after their freshman year in college. The thing is, you have to donate at least a thousand dollars to the Guild and then there's the cost of dresses, parties, etc.
When they sent a letter to ASLFRose in 5th grade, I said, "We are not doing this even once, much less nine times...we'll have too many college bills someday to drop over $9000 on the Symphony." We've been satisfied with the decision too, because so many of the debs, although they might be considered "high society", are simply druggies and drunks..we didn't see the point in hanging out with that crowd.
Anyway, my husband would have shot himself before doing the "daddy dance" in front of all those people, lol.
