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.
Fundraising
A school's fundraising efforts to help
with the costs of a Prom are very important and can be very effective--
use fundraising proceeds to lower the cost of the Prom ticket. Have you
considered splitting the profits of an after school dance with the Prom
Committee? How about a school-wide magazine fundraiser? or school
calendar sale featuring sports and performing arts groups and
individuals. Sit down and get creative because whatever you can do to
make the Prom event more accessible to more students, the bigger
success it will be!

Seniors
Get Ready!
Senior Year Expenses
There are more varied activities and tasks that take place in your
senior year than just about any other time in your life. Many
activities
will be great fun and create memories for a lifetime; such as, prom,
graduation,
homecoming, or senior trips. Other tasks and pressures will be such
that
you will hope never to have to do them again; such as SAT, ACT, AP
Exams,
or filling out college applications. . .

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. )

Prom Hair Style Tips
Prom night is obviously one of the most important social events in a teen's life. 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 ...

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.

Ways to Have More Prom Fun
Go in Groups
Most students find the prom a lot more fun if they go in a group. 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.
