Prom is all about two things: glitz and glamour.
Every teenage girl has dreamed about her prom — spending the night partying with friends while looking their absolute best. To ensure a stress-free day, here are ways to prepare for prom.
Select your attire
Watching my sister go through her own prom experience, one thing I won’t be doing is waiting until the last minute to find an outfit. The scrambled efforts were unnecessary and easily preventable.
Planning your outfit in advance reduces the likelihood of a stressful impromptu shopping trip. It allows ample time to find accessories to match your clothing of choice, while giving you the option to make changes later if necessary. Having an outfit prepared means one less thing to think about as the day comes near.
Coordinate with your date
Whether you’re attending with your friends or significant other, you can plan ahead. Plan matching outfits and figure out items like corsages. By coordinating with your date ahead of time, you have a plan in place for the day while leaving room for potential changes.
Find locations for photos
As you’re dressed to look your absolute best, pictures are a must. It’s a way to capture memories and have something to look back on.
To ensure the photos come out looking just as you want, it’s a good idea to have locations in mind. You can put plans together with friends and parents to guarantee the photo shoot runs smoothly.
Arrange transportation
One item people tend to forget is transportation. Consider if you’re planning on showing up with your friends, your date or on your own. Decide whether you are going to carpool, drive or even order a limo or party bus. By having a mode of transportation in place, you’ll get to your location stress free.
Make dinner reservations
Before a night full of dancing, it’s a good idea to fill up on food. While prom has much to it, dinner is not included. Making plans to go out for dinner with your friends before the dance makes for a fun activity before the exciting chaos of prom. By making reservations ahead of time, there is one less thing to worry about the day of.
