PROM MUST KNOWS

plan ahead!

The senior prom should be a magical occasion to remember for a lifetime. Proper planning of every detail ensures that dream can be realized. Keep to a budget, organize your group and start the countdown!

[ FOR THE GIRLS ]

Allow plenty of time for dress alterations.
Test out undergarments and special tapes to keep covered and in place.
Make hair appointment - have pictures/ideas ready, as well as accessories; wear a top that doesn't go over the head.
Book makeup appointment - wear clothing that will not affect the makeup.
Make you mani-pedi appointment, plan for a longer appointment if adding special finishing touches.
Order the boutonniere or corsage from the florist (coordinate the flower colors with the dress).
Test out the high heels to prevent blisters, or the need to go barefoot (the dress was probably not hemmed to allow three fewer inches).
Choose reasonable accessories - those big sparkly earrings might weigh more than imagined, causing much discomfort.

[ FOR THE GUYS ]

Rent tuxedo - coordinate with date on color and style; make sure it fits well
Shine those shoes (even if they're rented)
Shave and a get a haircut
MAN-icures - great idea!
Order the boutonniere or corsage from the florist (coordinate the flower colors with the dress).

[ FOR THE PLANNER IN THE GROUP ]

Coordinate well with others, including parents - set up a group chat so details can be shared with everyone.
Plan a budget with the group - divide up the costs evenly, and REMEMBER TIPS/GRATUITY.
Choose a location for photos - plan enough time before the dinner reservation to capture all of your shots.
Make dinner reservations - ask about a fixed price meal for the group.
Book transportation/limousine.
Plan after-prom get-together.
