| Prom Checklist - Guys |
 | Start using this checklist. |
| Ask how much money your parents are willing to contribute. |
| Start saving money. |
| Plan out a budget to cover costs. |
| Ask your date, if you know who you want to go with! |
| Go for a tux fitting. It is helpful to know what color dress your date will wear. Coordinate colors and style. |
| Start looking into transportation. Whose car, who will drive, or consider renting a limousine with a group. |
| Ask around for a good restaurant for dinner before the Prom, if dinner is not included at the Prom. Consider your date's taste in food and atmosphere (ask, if you're not sure!). A quieter place will give you time to talk, while a busier eatery may help start you off in a festive mood! |
| Purchase your Prom tickets. |
| VERY IMPORTANT: Discuss your prom plans with your parents. |
| Call and confirm your dinner reservations, if applicable. |
| Finalize your plans with friends, date and parents. |
| Order your date's corsage (coordinate color with her dress. |
| Confirm all reservations and appointments you have made for Prom day. |
| Get a haircut. |
| What time will you pick her up? |
| Wash your car and vacuum it, if applicable. |
| Collect your supplies: Camera, film, phone card or cell phone, change, cash, student ID, tickets, etc. |
| Pick up your date's corsage (Keep refrigerated until you leave). |
| Pick up your tuxedo, if you haven't already. Make sure to get a tie and cummerbund (these could also match your date's dress), dress shoes, cuff links and studs. |

| Be Prepared! |
It always pays these days to be prepared when you leave the house, especially on Prom night: Take enough cash for your expenses, such as dinner, tips, incidentals, and a little extra money for emergencies. Also carry some change for a phone call, or bring a phone card.
 | If you have a cellular phone, take it with you in case of an emergency. |
| Take a camera along to take pictures of each other, and extra film. (the chaperones will be more than willing to help with this job.) |
| Girls, carry extra panty hose or a bottle of clear nail polish to stop a run. A safety pin can be a life saver! |
| Take care of your belongings. Don't leave valuables on the table or in bathrooms. Even if you think you know everyone at the dance, it would be very sad to lose a camera or your money just because you were careless and left it sitting around unattended. |
| Discuss your plans with your parents. Include where you are going, with whom, what time you will be where, and when you can be expected home. Parents tend to worry about such things. Remember, even if they trust you, they don't trust the other people out on the road. If it will help them relax, offer to check in with them sometime during the evening, and also if you'll be late getting home. |
| After-Prom: these parties are always a blast! Don't forget a change of clothes to be comfortable while you party. |
