The Court is a relatively easy element of the Prom, but it is one that the students care about a lot. All of the elections for court should have taken place at school so that the necessary photographs, tiaras, flowers, and souvenirs can be purchased for them. Be sure that you hold elections early enough that if someone is elected to court who wasn't planning on going, there will be sufficient time for him/her to still get a date.

The photographer you use for the Prom will probably be the one that your school has a contract with for the school year. The single worst thing that can happen with the photographer is that your students would have to wait in line all night for pictures instead of enjoying the dance itself. Be sure that your studio sends enough photographer set-ups and backgrounds. There should be couple set-ups and group set-ups. It seems that some studios try to send too few photographers. Be very alert, and don't let that happen to you. One thing that may be successful for you would be to let students come an hour early for photographs only, before the dance actually begins, so that they don't waste time during the dance. You may find that a lot of students come early to get the photographs out of the way. Or you could schedule photo settings at your school before the dance begins at a different location. Students sign up for appointment times that are 10 minutes apart at the school gym hours before the Prom. This will make the process easier for everyone. Remember that most photographers provide the invitations to the prom, help subsidize a souvenirs and should give the school a percentage of the shoot. The studio generates a huge amount of income from your event. They should be giving a percentage back to you in some way.

Most Proms have some kind of a small memento for students to take home. Some have glasses printed with the date and theme, candles have become popular, as well as a photo memory book that includes all the photographs taken that evening by the photographers as well as a few candids. It is important that the students like the souvenir. Your student committee should choose what they want as they probably know better than you would, what the rest of the class would like to take home. Remember to order early--six months out will allow for personalization and correcting possible errors.

Prom Dresses 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.

Couples can share a car, and several cars can go together and arrive at the dance at the same time. This way you can sit together at the same table and enjoy each other's company all evening. Remember that the earlier you arrive, the better your chances will be of finding an empty table where you can all sit. Pre-Dance Party You may want to get together at one person's house to take pictures and have hors d'oeuvres. This gives everyone an opportunity to get a good start on the evening. It will also give some parents a chance to make a fuss over all of you. They will probably be having as much fun watching as you are. (Prom here--->)

It combines romance, a party atmosphere, and a sense of saying goodbye to high school and carefree days. Everyone wants their prom experience to come off without a hitch and become a memory they'll cherish for the rest of their lives. For many girls, one aspect of the big night often becomes incredibly important: which prom hair style to choose. There's more to this decision than you might think. Prom hair styles have to withstand a lot of activity for several hours. Imagine trying to keep a hair style looking great while dancing, rushing around to see friends, and then partying at all of the after-prom parties. Whew! Seen in that light, choosing the best hair style takes more careful planning than you thought, huh? Formal or Functional? Probably the biggest decision ... (See More------>)
