What do you say during an 18 Wines speech for a debutante?

gifts for her 18 image

M

I've been asked to be one of the 18 men who traditionally give wine and a short speech to a debutante at her ball. I said yes, but I have NO IDEA what I am supposed to say or talk about. Please help? :-/

THE DEBUT:
[The following is a typical Debutanteâs Ball Agenda. In this order.]

» INTRODUCTION OF THE DEBUTANTE, HER ESCORT AND HER COTILLON COURT
» TOAST IN HONOR OF THE DEBUTANTE
» WELCOME REMARKS (BY THE PARENTS)
» INVOCATION OR PRAYER
» DINING
» FATHER & DAUGHTER DANCE
» DANCE WITH ESCORT
» GRAND COTILLON WALTZ DANCE
» 18 ROSES DANCE (18 guys close to the debutante who will waltz with her after handing her a rose)
» 18 CANDLES PRESENTATION (18 close girls who'll give a speech)
» SINGING OF TRADITIONAL DEBUTANTEâS BIRTHDAY SONG
» BLOWING OF THE CAKE CANDLES
» CUTTING OF THE CAKE
» 18 TREASURES PRESENTATION (The Debutante's life)
» 18 GIFTS OR TREASURES (18 'older' women who'll present their gifts to the debutante & gives a speech to why they chose those particular gifts)
» 18 WINES (18 'older' men who'll give a speech after presenting the debutante with a wine glass)
» A WORD FROM THE DEBUTANTE
» DANCING TIME

Answer
I wouldn't be caught dead at something like that. Snobby. Pretentious. Complete waste of time.

What is a good Santa gift for 18 yearold?

Grin

I am finished shopping but I can not think of a Santa gift for my 18 yearold daughter. In my house the Santa gift is always a big gift.
She has a phone, computer, car, etc.
Price range $100 to $300.
I got my 15 yearold a Chi straightener as her Santa gift is that big enough?
They are hard to buy for, all they asked for was clothes or boots.
My husband does not like giving gift cards or cash.

Answer
Just buy them clothes or boots then! The Chi straightener was a good call!

You could always buy them some jewelry (Tiffany & co. does amazing things and it's in your price range!)

Good luck xxxxx
