You can talk to the principal, but be ready to have him say after you talk to him that no guests are allowed at the party at all, including any of YOUR guests. Also, I don't think it's a strong case to disbar the people due to them being from certain areas of the state. That could be viewed as discrimination of some type.
Why don't you let people bring who they want. Get to know them, you might make some new friends. In any event, why would their presence diminish your fun? That is the question you need to think about, whether the answer to it is a good one.
What is a "questionable area"? And how do you know the student council would disapprove of these guests?
You should return the dress and skip the party. You may be doing others a favor. You sound too self-centered and snobby to be very much fun anyway.
You wanted an honest answer.
Elitist snob. Get accustomed to disappointment, as you life is sure to be one disappointment after another. Your world view is stunted and shallow.
May I suggest a stint in the Peace Corps after graduation, or maybe Habitats For Humanity, since your humanity is seriously lacking.
God, you better be trolling. $1,759 for a dress? For a kid? WTF?
Here's my suggestion. Return the dress, don't go to the party. Instead go volunteer at a homeless shelter and donate the $$ to them to buy supplies for homeless kids.
Grow up.
I'm graduating from a private school (yay!) and as student council president it's my job to throw the formal farewell party... Live music, posh food and a HUGE CAKE. I bought a $1,759 red, strapless dress to wear. I was even going to post highlights from the party on YouTube.
But now the principal says seniors can bring up to four guests and some of them are inviting people from questionable areas (I have the RSVP list). I thought this was going to be an EXCLUSIVE party so now I'm totally disappointed.
Should I fight this? Maybe convince the principal to let the student council trim the guest list to people we approve of? This sucks. :( Your honest opinion: What should happen????
