Decorations

Decorations will vary widely, depending upon where you are having your Prom. Some hotels and other facilities do all the decorating of tables, as well as providing a balloon arch for the dance floor. Other places will expect you to do all of the decorating. Many ballrooms are quite beautiful, and will need very little in the way of decorations. But your student committee will have ideas about this. They will be able to choose the color of the linens, and whatever other extras the facility may provide. Decorating can be very time consuming. So if you find a facility that is willing to decorate for you, it will be very helpful. But if you are having your dance at a facility that doesn't help, the students are usually very capable of doing the work themselves.

“Casualties are mounting at an alarming rate,” Dr. Westin observed. “So many young people have got it. It’s getting to pandemic proportions.”

Hotels, Alternative Sites

There are a variety of locations to be found for use for high school proms. The most common are hotels. But even these can vary widely in the both the size of their ballrooms and the services offered. It would be wise for you to go and look at various locations in person so that you can see what they offer.

Prom Tips for Guys:

T U X E D O :

Most guys wear tuxedos to their proms, which according to Emily Post is considered -semi-formal attire. But if you have a nice dark-colored suit, you might be able to wear that, depending on your particular dance. The school or social mores where you live may require a tux for the evening. (However, in California, people are much more unconventional and casual--so check out your options. )

   Today's Prom Tips:



     The DJ can make or break a Prom. The right Prom dance music is essential. You need to book a DJ about six months in advance. December is a good time to book for the following May. Always get a contract, and put in writing what you will be expecting from the DJ. Students are usually very good at choosing a DJ and the songs to play. Poll the student body for a list of songs and music they want to hear at their Prom. Let the student committee do the legwork and get the DJ pool down to three or four before you start doing your checking. References are absolutely essential for a DJ that works a Prom. It is your biggest dance of the year, and you don't want it to be ruined by a bad DJ. ...

There will be a school photographer at the prom ready to take posed couple and group shots. These picture packages can often run you a lot of money, so get a price list from your Activities Office at school before that evening so that you will know how much money you will need to have for this. Most school photographers will take checks with proper ID or credit cards; so if you have either of these options available to you, it would be safer for you than carrying a lot of cash. You could spend anywhere from $50-$175 on pictures. Your parents and relatives may want copies, so calculate those needs into your picture order. These photographs will probably be a keepsake . . .

PROM TIPS

We also saw some things that were glaring errors on the red carpet. One major one was big bows!!! They seemed to show up in the most unlikely of places...on shoulders, in the front, and across the back. Don't get us wrong, we don't dislike bows....but the size should be small....not a massive thing the won't be ignored. Also be careful about how full skirt is on your gown. Very few people can pull off a great big skirt, and those people are usually tall and way thin.

So, keep it simple, underplay your accessories, and look at all you are wearing as a "look." Then you will make great decisions for your own Prom Night!

Tips about Prom     Dresses

The advice I always give is that they should try on lots and lots of Prom dresses, even if they don't think they like a dress on the hanger.  You never know until you try it on.  Also, they should take someone with them to give his or her opinion as to which dress looks best on them.  It is difficult to do, but a girl needs to look past how pretty a Prom dress is and really see how the Prom dress makes her look.  For example, a very full-skirted ball gown won't look as good on someone who is short.  It tends to make a short girl look shorter, where a slimmer skirt will show off her petite frame.
