If you have decided to go to Sweethearts or have gotten asked, here’s what you’ll need.

• A corsage/boutonniere for your date. Guys: girls like it when you ask what color dress they’re wearing so that you can match the corsage to their dress.
• A dress/suit. this is a formal dance, but if you don’t feel like paying for new attire, a lot of Edina students borrow from friends
•  Shoes to change into for the dance. Girls usually bring sneakers or crocs to change into after an agonizing one hour in heels. Guys don’t have as much trouble with dress shoes but some like to slip on tennis shoes for the dance.
• Your tickets. You MUST buy your tickets during lunch by this Friday. Student Council won’t let students to buy their tickets late if they forget, so spare yourself the awkwardness of explaining to your date that you forgot. Tickets are $25 each, and you will need your ID number and your date’s ID number to purchase them. You won’t receive a physical ticket, but your ID number will be put into an online system, which is why you’ll need…
• Your ID. This is crucial, and the biggest problem that EHS students run into at dances. Make sure that you have a photo ID (it doesn’t have to be your school ID), and that your date brings his/hers as well. Too many times have EHS students gloomily waited with their dates outside of the dance for parents to drop off IDs, and, since the Sweethearts dance is in Downtown Minneapolis, your parents will be even more annoyed if you forget.

That’s all! Have fun at Sweetheart’s! Be safe! Stay in school kiddos!
