Prom night is an evening that you'll remember for years to come. Arguably, prom night is even bigger than homecoming or your quinceanera. Here are some tips that will ensure your prom night is memorable - for all the right reasons!
Preparation is Key
There are so many elements to prom night that it's easy to forget something important. It's best to start with a list that has everything you need to do, and thing check items off as you go along.
Shopping for Prom Dresses
It's crucial to start shopping for prom dresses early. Remember that your formal eveningwear can take up to eight weeks to arrive, so start looking for prom fashion well before then. When considering your choices, find a style that fits your body type, is well made, and that has a fabrication and color that flatters your figure and your complexion.
When it comes to prom dresses - or other formal clothing - the fit is rarely perfect. Don't fret if you have to have your dress altered, but do make sure that you have enough time to do so.
Don't Forget Accessories
You can have the most beautiful eveningwear in the world, but without the right foundations and accessories, you can easily have a fashion disaster on your hands. Select a bra, hose, or shapewear that fit well and that won't show under your prom dress. Make sure the shoes you choose are comfortable enough to last the evening. Stilettos might be stylish, but if you have to take them off after ten minutes, the look of your gown will be ruined. Similarly, make sure that your jewelry and purse complement your prom dress, rather than overwhelming it. Remember - less is more.
Set Up Your Appointments
Salons are extremely busy during the prom season, so be sure to make your appointments well ahead of the big day. You should definitely have your hair done professionally, since your hair is an integral part of your prom fashion statement. You may also want to have your makeup professionally done. You can schedule your manicure, pedicure, and tanning appointments for the day before prom, but if you want to have a facial, do so at least a week before the event. Facials are great for your skin, but can prompt breakouts a day or two afterward. You don't want to suffer a major breakout on prom day! While you're at it, don't forget to order your date's boutonniere.
Prom Parties
Make and finalize your pre- and post-prom plans well in advance of prom night. If you're going to dinner, make sure that reservations are made. Make sure all of the transportation plans are in place. If you're going out afterwards, be certain to talk with your friends and understand where you're going, who will be driving, and what's going to take place. Having your plans finalized demonstrates good judgment, and will help reassure your parents that you will act responsibly.
Have Fun!
Everything from buying prom dresses to making appointments to planning prom festivities can sometimes obscure the real reason for prom - to have fun! No event ever goes exactly as planned - even with great preparation - so make sure to be flexible. When you are, you'll have a great time and create memories that will last a lifetime.
