Many times, they are not sure where to start to make this a special night for the young lady they want to spend it with. They might think about what to wear, where to eat, and may even consider renting a Tampa Bay limousine for transportation. Here are some tips to help get ready for this big date and how to approach it with confidence.
Before the Prom
If you know that you want to go to prom this year, it is a good idea to start saving for it a few months in advance. There are several expenses that will come up. You want to be able to rent a tux, go to a nice dinner, buy flowers, take pictures, and possibly have nicer than normal transportation. You want a budget to work with so you can make the best of the night. You don’t have to spend a fortune, and there are many great things you can do for a reasonable amount of money. So plan ahead and get creative.
You want to make sure that you ask your date at least one month prior to the prom. This gives her plenty of time to find a dress and other things that she will be concerned with. Even if you have a steady girlfriend, you will want to be a gentleman and ask her so she knows how much it means to you. Don’t just assume she is going to go with you.
If you are going to be renting a tux, you will want to take care of that early. You may even get a better deal if you do that. You might want to coordinate your tux with your friends, if you are going in a group. This will also give you time to make sure you have a proper fit and you have ordered all the accessories.
Transportation is something you want to consider up front as well. It can be a lot of fun to all ride together in a limo. You can pool your resources with other couples to make it an affordable option. Get a reservation early!
Make dinner reservations a couple of weeks in advance. Depending upon the size of your town and your choices, you will want to find someplace that can accommodate your group. You may have to drive into the city, so plan for that as well.
You will also want to ask your date about the color of her dress so you can order a corsage that will match.
It is also a good idea to schedule a haircut about a week before prom, so you are looking your best.
Give yourself plenty of time to get ready the day of the event. You might want to double check your reservations, gas up the car, and reconfirm the schedule with all your friends. You are going to want to be on time when you arrive to pick up your date. Make sure you are friendly and let your date’s parents know what you will be doing and verify when she should be home.
These tips will help get you ready to have a wonderful night. You will want to be attentive to your date and make it a special event for both of you. This is your chance to go to a nice restaurant, ride in a Tampa Bay limousine, and spend the evening with your friends. Make sure you are responsible, avoid alcohol, and have your date home on time. Enjoy this exciting event!
