Choose a date
Prom is a big deal. It’s a rite of passage and an event you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Whether you’re going with a date or flying solo, you want to look and feel your best. So how do you make sure everything goes off without a hitch? Here are 10 easy steps to follow to make sure you have the best prom ever.
1. Choose a date: If you’re planning on going with a date, make sure you pick someone you’re comfortable with and who you know will treat you well. Prom can be expensive, so it’s important to make sure you’re on the same page about how much you’re willing and able to spend.
2. Start shopping early: Don’t wait until the last minute to start looking for your dress or tuxedo. You want to have plenty of time to find the perfect outfit and make sure it fits properly.
3. Make a budget: Speaking of dresses and tuxedos, prom can be expensive! Make sure you sit down with your date and figure out how much you’re comfortable spending on your outfit, transportation, tickets, etc. Once you have a budget, stick to it!
4. Find a dress or tuxedo that fits your style: Prom is all about expressing yourself, so make sure your outfit reflects who you are. If you don’t feel comfortable in something, don’t wear it! You’ll be much happier if you feel like yourself on prom night.
5. Get your hair and makeup done: This is one area where it’s worth splurging a little bit. Find a good stylist who can help you achieve the look you want, whether it’s natural and understated or bold and glamorous.
6. Pick out accessories: The right accessories can really make or break an outfit. Once you’ve found your dress or tuxedo, take some time to shop for jewelry, shoes, ties, etc., that will complement it perfectly.
7. Secure transportation: If you’re planning on renting a limo or driving yourself, make sure everything is confirmed well in advance of prom night so there are no surprises at the last minute. If possible, try to carpool with friends to save money (and gas)!
8. Purchase tickets: Tickets usually go on sale several weeks before prom, so make sure you get yours as soon as possible after they become available . . . they tend to sell out quickly!
9. Plan pre-prom activities: Whether it’s grabbing dinner with friends before the dance or taking pictures at a scenic location beforehand, plan out what YOU want to do before prom so that everything runs smoothly on the big night itself . Don’t let anyone else control your agenda!
10 Relax and enjoy yourself!: Prom should be fun! Take some time leading up to the event to relax and pamper yourself so that when prom night arrives,you’ll be feeling (and looking) your best self confident smile!
Find a group
It’s not high school without friends, so one of the first things you should do when getting ready for prom is to find a group to go with. If you don’t have a date, that’s okay! There’s nothing wrong with going to prom with a group of friends. In fact, it might even be more fun. You can help each other with hair and makeup, and you won’t have to worry about spending the night alone.
If you already have a date, see if he or she has any friends who would want to join your group. The more the merrier! Just make sure everyone is okay with the size of your group before you start making plans. Once you have your group figured out, you can start thinking about what you want to do for prom.
Decide on a theme
The first step in getting ready for prom is to decide on a theme. This will help you narrow down your dress choices and figure out what kind of shoes and accessories you’ll need. If you’re not sure what kind of theme you want, browse through some magazines or look online for inspiration. Once you have a general idea, you can start shopping around for the perfect dress.
Set a budget
Prom is a very special occasion, but it can also be a very expensive one. You may be tempted to spend a lot of money on your dress, your date’s outfit, and tickets, but it’s important to set a budget before you start shopping. Once you know how much you can afford to spend, you can start looking for ways to save money.
Here are some tips for setting a prom budget:
-Set a realistic budget. You don’t want to end up in debt after your prom night. Be honest with yourself about how much you can afford to spend.
-Look for ways to save money. There are plenty of ways to save money on prom night. You can rent a dress or suit, buy tickets early, and look for discounts on transportation and hotels.
-Plan ahead. The sooner you start planning your prom night, the more time you’ll have to save up money. Start looking for deals and discounts a few months in advance.
-Be flexible. If you find yourself over budget, be willing to make some changes to your plans. You may have to adjust your expectations or make some sacrifices, but it will be worth it in the end.
Find a venue
There are a lot of things to consider when picking a venue for prom. You’ll want to find a place that’s large enough to accommodate all your guests, has good lighting and sound, and is conveniently located. You should also make sure that the venue is available on the date you want to hold your prom. Once you’ve found a few potential venues, reach out to them and see if they’re available for booking.
Hire a caterer
When it comes to your prom night, you want everything to be perfect. That includes the food! Hiring a caterer can take a lot of the stress out of prom night, and it will ensure that your guests have something delicious to eat. Here are a few tips for hiring a caterer for your prom:
1. Start early. The sooner you start looking for a caterer, the better. This will give you more time to compare prices and find the right fit for your event.
2. Get recommendations. Ask friends, family, and other people in your community for recommendations on caterers. You can also check online review sites like Yelp or Google Reviews.
3. Set a budget. Catering can be expensive, so it’s important to set a budget before you start looking for a caterer. This will help you narrow down your options and find someone who fits within your price range.
4. Consider your guest list. When you’re thinking about food for your prom, it’s important to consider the dietary restrictions of your guests. Make sure to ask about this when you’re meeting with potential caterers.
5. Taste the food. Before you make any decisions, be sure to taste the food! This is the best way to know if a caterer is right for your event.
6. Read the contract carefully. Once you’ve decided on a caterer, be sure to read over the contract carefully before you sign anything. This will help you avoid any surprises down the road.
7. Make a plan B (just in case). No matter how well you plan, there’s always a chance that something could go wrong on prom night—the power could go out, the food could get spilled, etc.—so it’s important to have a backup plan in place just in case something does happen
When it comes to hosting a prom, one of the most important things to consider is the menu. What will you serve to your guests?
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your prom menu. First, you’ll want to make sure that you have a variety of food options. This will ensure that all of your guests will be able to find something that they like. Secondly, you’ll want to make sure that the food is easy to eat. Prom is a formal event, so you’ll want to avoid serving messy foods that are difficult to eat while wearing a dress or tuxedo.
Here are a few menu ideas to get you started:
-Finger sandwiches
-Fruit platters
-Vegetable platters
-Cheese and crackers
-Chips and dip
-Cookies and brownies
-Prom Punch (non-alcoholic)
Send out invitations
Sending out invitations is one of the most important parts of getting ready for prom. You’ll want to make sure that everyone who you want to come to prom is invited, and that they have all the information they need in order to attend. The best way to do this is to send out physical invitations through the mail, or by hand. This way, your guests will be sure to get them and they’ll be able to put them up on their refrigerator or another conspicuous place as a reminder. You can also create an event on Facebook and invite all of your friends that way. Just be sure to include all the important details like date, time, location, dress code, and how they can RSVP.
Decorate the venue
It’s not prom without a little bit of decoration. Depending on your budget and the size of your venue, you can go all out or keep it simple. You can DIY some decorations or buy ready-made ones. You can also ask your friends and family to help with the decorating.
Some things that you could use to decorate are:
-Balloons
-Banners
-Confetti
-Centerpieces
-Lights
