that the guilty person wears the cost and consequence. When people are impossible to identify, then it becomes the school, parents or organising committee members who will be next in line for the consequences.
Costumes also provide all sorts of ways for unwanted items to get into your Formal. Drugs, alcohol, weapons and all manner of contraband can often be hidden inside elaborate costumes or the props that accompany them. Now to many that may seem like some harmless teenage rebellion but how funny will it be when someone is sick or injured, or if the Police or Security come and shut down the Formal and throw everyone out as a result of contraband getting out of control?
Fancy-Dress is uncomfortable when sitting and eating and more so when trying to dance.
Above all - it makes you look like an idiot and there'll be tons of photos to prove it. Is that the way you want to be remembered 20 years from now?
A Formal is exactly that - a "FORMAL", not a silly children's dress up party. Use this opportunity to dress elegantly and behave like an adult. You'll be surprised just how much you'll enjoy being treated as one.
Fancy-Dress doesn't work, unless what you're trying to achieve is greater cost, less venue options, physical discomfort, tears & tantrums and looking like a moron forever in your photos. If that's what you want - then by all means Fancy-Dress formals are just what you need. Otherwise my best advice is to avoid Fancy-Dress like the plague.

For those unfamiliar with Sydney based events company Prom Night Events, they're Australia's market leader in School Formals.
Those that know the Prom Team well may NOT know that they'rve recently moved their headquarters into a funky new space at the edge of Sydney's CBD, adjacent to all of their most popular 5-star venues.
The new facility, while appearing at face-value to have all of the trappings of the ultimate teen rumpus room, with brightly coloured walls that visitors are encouraged to graffitti onto, surround sound big screen theatre with disco lighting, fluffy couches and red bulls in the glass fridge, is actually strategically designed by industry experts to carve out a direct path between formal committees and their dream school formal event.
Student committees of up to 16 members are invited to attend this 150 square metre lounge where a trained Event Manager will take them on venue virtual tours and use sophisticated tools to help work out the perfect balance between inclusions, venues and budgets.
This process, which takes about an hour, will see the committee leave with a perfectly
with a perfectly
designed formal plan,
fully costed and
legally compliant,
replacing what would normally be anything up to 3 months of research.
This service, while invaluable in terms of student time away from the books, is obligation-free and cost-free although popularity dictates that bookings are essential.
