Prom night – one of the most important events of the school year! You want to make it special, and we want to help. Here are some top tips to ensure your night is the memorable occasion you hope it will be.
Start Planning Early
It’s better to start planning early than to try and plan your night last minute! Spring is a popular time for both weddings and proms, so when it comes to prom dress shopping, accessory shopping, and transportation, you’ll want to get a jump start on things. Gather a group of friends to help plan the details of prom night so you can all shop around for the best deals.
Find Your Look
Finding your look for your prom night is a fun occasion, but it can also be stressful (especially if you’re a girl). There are so many prom dresses to choose from, and you’ll also need to figure out shoes, accessories, hair, and makeup. So, you don’t get too overwhelmed, start early, and take it one item at a time. Your dress will help influence the rest of your look, so start there.
Also, remember, you don’t need to spend a lot to look your best! Online shopping can help you find a dress for a less expensive price, but you might miss out on the fun of trying on dresses with your friends. In this case, try going to department stores and looking in their sales section. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find!
Go with Who You Want
While promposals and having a date is fun, don’t feel pressured to go with a date if you don’t want. After all, this is your prom night. If you want to go with a group of friends, do it. Or, if you do want a date, power to you!
Look into Transportation Options
Don’t forget to think about how you’re going to get to the venue. You can drive yourself or carpool with friends, but you and your friends might have to worry about traffic and parking.
A safe (and fun) option to consider is a limo or party bus. Renting a party bus or limo ensures that not only will you arrive in style, but parents can feel confident you and your friends are safe with a professional chauffeur. You’ll be picked up on time, get to ride and arrive in the coolest way possible, and then make it home right on time for curfew. No need to worry about parking or traffic! Bring along your favorite playlist and some sparkling apple cider to get the party started early. If you do decide to hire a party bus for your prom night, just make sure you book well in advance.
Eat Something Before You Go
While some proms might have some snacks, they likely won’t serve actual dinner. So, make sure you eat a good meal before you go. And hydrate, too! The venue will get hot, and you’ll be dancing and having fun. The last thing you want is to get hungry halfway through prom, or worse, pass out.
Take All the Pictures
We know – it can be annoying to stand around and take pictures, especially when your parents want to take a bunch. But stand and smile, and take a few extra selfies with your friends throughout the night. You’ll thank yourself later! As the years go by, you’ll love looking back on the photos as you remember the fun memories from your prom night.
Pack A Change of Shoes and an Emergency Kit
No matter what transportation option you go with – pack a change of shoes and an emergency kit.
Heels can make your feet sore after a while, and rented tux shoes aren’t always the most comfortable. Whether you’re going to an after-party or just heading home after, your feet will thank you for the change of footwear!
You also never know what’s going to happen, and prom isn’t the place where you want to be unprepared. A small prom emergency kit may just come in handy for you and your friends. Some things you may want to include:
- Pain reliever
- Antacid
- Stain stick
- Emergency sewing kid
- Bandages
- Deodorant
- A small snack
- Gum or mints
- Safety pins
- A little cash in case of an emergency
Keep this kit and your change of shoes in your car, your friend’s car, or on your party bus. If you can fit the emergency kit in a purse, even better!
