Planning for prom stands a stressful and extensive process for male and female students. Females struggle to find the perfect dress, book a makeup appointment, and discover a photogenic location for social media-worthy pictures. Males endeavor the task of finding an inexpensive tux and choosing the correct color for their date’s corsage.

All females strive to feel confident and beautiful at prom. Scheduling appointments may seem tedious at the time, but professional makeup companies comparable to Sephora and MAC at Town Center Mall have available spots even months in advance. Scheduling an appointment in Marietta or South Cobb may increase the chance of finding an open space, because their schools have already held their proms.

Large companies can achieve elegant Pinterest prom hairstyles, but for an absurd price. A small Acworth local business, Innovations, offers the same glamorous hair styles for an affordable price as opposed to a larger company who frequently overbooks and does not provide the one-on-one service many desire.

After prom night, expensive dresses become useless, and generally never worn again. Purchasing prom dresses from thrift stores or ordering a reduced-price dress on websites, such as Amazon, saves money and looks just as attractive. Local tailors can repair loose hems from thrift store dresses and mend the dress to the necessary size. When online shopping, consider ratings and comments from past customers to help finalize dress decisions before purchasing.

For NC junior and senior males, Savvi Formalwear offers a $50 reduction on tuxedo rentals and $10 of the proceeds go to Relay for Life. Males can obtain this offer at Town Center and will look just as presentable as if they had purchased tuxedos at costly stores like Men’s Wearhouse.

Girls yearn for the perfect picture of boys fastening the gorgeous corsage onto their wrist. Unfortunately, florists demand a high price for wrist corsages. Shopping in a local grocery store’s florist section will assure a lower price and multiple color choices to chose from.

Overthinking the memorable day creates a frustrating atmosphere for prom attendees, which can ultimately ruin the night. Remaining relaxed by completing prom tasks weeks in advance will eliminate stress for both genders.
