A month or more before Prom:
- Decide if you are going with a date, as part of a group or ;some combination of the two. How large your group is will affect transportation.
- Start looking around for prom attire. Browse online to get ideas. Does your prom have a theme? This may impact your choice of dress.
- Figure out what type of hairstyle you want. For girls, this may be influenced by what type of dress you choose, as well as any hair accessories and jewelry.
- Check out limo or bus rentals, if you are going as a group, and compare rates. Check out carpool options with other parties.
- Think about where you want to prepare for the event. Will you be getting ready with friends at someone's house, or prepping solo at home?
- If you plan on dinner before the prom, start checking out ;restaurants. If you are part of a group, get a consensus of ;everyone's ;budget and meal ;preferences. Shop around for deals - some restaurants offer group discounts, or deals on special occasion parties.
A few weeks before Prom:
- Buy or register for your Prom tickets.
- Shop around and find your dress or suit. You'll want at least a few weeks for this, since you may change your mind or need alterations.
- Find and buy shoes, or decide which you will be wearing. Make sure they are comfortable enough to be able to walk in for at least a few hours!
- Decide on hairstyle and make an appointment for the day of the event. Bring pictures so your hair stylist knows what you want.
- Make other necessary appointments, such as manicure/pedicure or spa treatments. These can be done a day or two before the event to save time.
- Make reservations at the ;restaurant ;or figure out other meal options. Getting take-out food and eating it before you prep is an alternative (and cheaper) dinner plan.
- Book the limo/bus or devise a driving plan. If hiring a driver, arrange all pickup/drop-off details and hours of service beforehand.
- Order any corsages/boutonnières.
- Arrange picture options with friends and family. If you are going in a group, plan to meet at a location where everyone can take photographs.
- Make an after-Prom agenda. Make sure you know where you'll be staying, whether at a hotel, your home, or a friend's house.
The Day of Prom
- Go to all necessary appointments. If you are getting a manicure/pedicure, get nails done first, then hair, ending with makeup.
- Get dressed. Prep at your planned location, and finish off with any accessories.
- Take pictures with the group. Smile!
- Collect money (if you haven't already done so) for the limo driver, or confirm transportation with family or friends.
- Go to the restaurant. Make sure to bring enough money for the bill and tip.
- Head to the venue. Make sure you have your prom tickets and ID ready.
- Dance, dance dance! Have fun, and act responsibly.
