Question
Hello,

I have been invited to be the escort for the daughter of a family friend for her debutante ball. Being of Northern extraction, I have absolutely no experience with these events and do not know what to expect. Could you please provide me with some information regarding these balls and the requirements of the escort?

Thank You,
Jay

Answer
Dear Jay,
 Private ball or one in which many girls are presented?
Which role are you taking? Are you a stand in for the
father or are you one of the peer escorts?  Happy to
help,just need a little more information.
                                      Best regards,
                                       Amanda Gamble
