Sew WhatBook beauty appointments at least three weeks
(or more!) in advance. Chat with your stylist and
make sure she can do the 'do. Make sure the style you
decide upon works well with your dress.
See the full effect! Get dolled up in
your dress, shoes, accessories (even
undergarments), to make sure everything
looks good together. Don't forget:
Break in your heels by wearing them
around the house!
No-worry solution to the deodorant
problem! Try a few brands to find one
that won’t leave residue on your
beautiful Prom gown!
Everyone probably has the same
top choices for dinner...make
your reservations well in advance
of Prom night!
Order your date’s
boutonniere from the florist -
and to pick it up on Prom day.
Drop a hint to your date
about your dress color so your
corsage coordinates!
Consult with your date
about who is buying the
tickets. Don’t forget to
pack them--they should
be the first things in your
purse!
Organize and discuss your ride
plans (and payment) with friends
AND mom and dad!
Popular opts are renting a limo,
booking a party bus or even
borrowing dad’s car.
After mom & dad are (finally)
finished taking pics of you
and your date and BFFs, take
some time to snap some
candid pics at a local park
or even your backyard!
Charge your camera the night
before Prom, so you’re ready for
every memorable moment!
Keep the good times going even
when Prom is over! Try some of
these ideas with friends & parents:
a bonfire, laser tag, pancake
breakfast, or beach party. Pack an
outfit and comfy shoes so you're not
stuck in your Prom dress!
To ensure your dress fits properly, get it altered a FEW
WEEKS BEFORE Prom. Seamstresses may be knee
deep in Prom dresses. Give 'em plenty of time!

Purse-onal!
