Prom Guide To...
Planning Your Prom Expenses

According to react.com, you're going to have to start saving now if you plan a "real" night out…

"The Stuff Proms are Made Of …"

  • Prom tickets ($25 to $200 per couple)
  • Outfit (her): dress, shoes, shawl/wrap, jewelry, bag, stockings, corsage ($50 to $200)
  • Outfit (him): tux, shirt, suspenders or cummerbund, shoes, socks, boutonnière ($75 to $150)
  • Gorgeousity (her): hair, makeup, manicure/pedicure, hair clips, ($50 to $250)
  • Gorgeousity (him): haircut, shave ($5 to $40)
  • Boutonniere (her): ($5 to $10)
  • Corsage (him): ($10 to $25)
  • At-Prom Photos: $40 to $150 (remember, families will want copies)
  • Candid Photos: disposable camera or extra film ($10 to $25)
  • Transportation: limo/rental split with other couples, gas money ($5 to $1,000)
  • Dinner (if not part of prom ticket): cook your own romantic dinner or go to a nice restaurant. If you're going out, bring $1 bills for coat-check ($1 tip for each coat) and valet parking (around $5 plus $2 tip) ($25 to $125)
  • Miscellaneous: Souvenirs, etc. ($10 to $40)

Hint: Once you add up all your expenses, divide the total by the number of weeks until prom and you'll know how much to put away each week to pay for everything."

So, if they are right, which I bet they are, you need to start now (unless your parents plan to ante up!)…

  1. A part time job??!
  2. Cutting grass?
  3. Shoveling snow?
  4. Babysitting?
  5. Hosting parties for little ones?
  6. Errand-running?

Whatever it takes! Be creative, you’ll enjoy it more.

Check out our complete list of Prom favors and accessories.

   

Have fun and have a dance on me, from the Party Girl and Party411!
