Being chosen as the prom planner or head of the prom planning committee for your prom is a great honor and distinction. To be given such a responsibility means that the school recognizes your management and executive capability. It is however, a big task that requires great attention to details and a lot of coordination to ensure that the prom turns out to be perfect. To help you plan a perfect prom that will do you, your committee and your school proud, here are some planning pointers for you:

• Prepare a check list of all the details, big and small, that need to be attended to and do a tasking assignment. Assign tasks to committee members within their known area of expertise.

• The theme of the prom should be decided by the entire committee but the details of the decoration can be assigned to a member.

• If the prom will be held outside of the school and choosing a venue is one of the duties of your committee, take this task as your own personal assignment. This is a most important element in ensuring the success of the prom.

• Prepare evaluation criteria of what would be an ideal prom night venue such as price and what the price includes, safety and accessibility of the location, ample parking space, venue capacity, its sound and lighting facilities, and the venue’s capability to handle a band.

• You can also request for suggestions from your members and evaluate the proposed venues as a team.

• In choosing entertainment, ask the committee member assigned to take care of this aspect to submit at least three alternatives that the whole committee can deliberate on. All the committee members can even go and watch the bands perform live so that you will have a basis for comparison.

• Selection criteria for a band should be its flexibility and ability to perform different types of music and its dependability. You want to make sure that when prom night arrives there will be a band to provide the music. Some bands are pretty notorious for their unreliability.

• DJs have become very popular fixtures in proms. Discuss with the committee if the prom budget would allow the hiring of a DJ. The selection of a DJ should go through the same process as selecting a band.

• Once the committee has selected a band or DJ or both, have a contract of undertaking prepared with all the details that you have agreed upon written in clear and understandable terms – the price and what it includes such as sound and light equipments, mode and time of payment, time, date and address of the prom venue, time they are expected to be in attendance. Be very explicit to prevent some switch and bait ploy. Ensure also that the band or DJ or both are covered by a liability insurance.

• Call for regular committee meetings to get an update of each and every committee member’s progress in their assigned task. If help is needed by a particular committee member assigned to a task of say coming up with fund raising activities, or prom décor, all the members of the committee particularly you, as the head of the committee should be ready to lend a hand.

A prom is one of the most anticipated events of the season. Long before the prom date, both young boys and girls are busy preparing for it. For the girls, high up on the preparation list is the best prom dress, best prom makeup, best prom shoes, best prom accessories and of course best prom date. Most young girls spend sleepless nights imagining how they will shine and be their gorgeous best at the prom. Here are two things that will make you look gorgeous on prom night:

Be your natural self
In an effort to look beautiful during prom night some girls imagine themselves to be a Halle Berry or even a Lady Gaga when in reality their own pretty self is a far cry from a Halle Berry or Lady Gaga. To be your gorgeous best on prom night is to be your natural self. Choose a hairstyle that will best enhance your features, not one that look fabulous on Lady Gaga. When choosing that fabulous prom gown let your individuality and personality shine. Your advantage is that there are so many prom dresses to choose from and for sure there will be one prom dress out there that will be perfect for the real you.

Be comfortable with your body
Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with a perfect body but all of us can look gorgeous with the right kind of clothes that will suit our own body type. The key to looking gorgeous is to feel comfortable with your body first. This will give you a big dollop of self-confidence which is the key ingredient to looking gorgeous.

For the prom, choose a dress that will conceal or draw the eyes away from your imperfection at the same time highlight your best features. If you have a pear shape body, – generous thighs and hips, slender neck and narrow shoulders, look for a prom dress with a fitted top and an A-line skirt or full skirt will look perfect. If you are happy with your generous behind, then look for a prom dress that is a little more figure hugging. Now if you are on the skinny side, an empire cut prom dress will give an illusion of more bust.

One of the most important concerns of a young girl for the prom night is her prom hairstyle. Every girl wants to look perfect on that special night. Choosing the right hairstyle that will complement her make-up and prom dress and at the same time transform her into the goddess of beauty that she imagines herself to be on that prom night is a real concern. Other than making her look gorgeous, the prom hairstyle should also be comfortable to give her the confidence to carry it off.

The shoes?

There is so much emphasis on the dress as if it were the only important thing for the prom. A few girls know that the perfect shoes would make all the difference. Looking for the perfect shoes would only come last. Not that this is wrong. In fact, this is the most rightful thing to do. If you have already found the right dress for you, then, it is time to look for the perfect shoes to match the outfit.

Color
Prom shoes come in different colors, styles and material. Most shoes duringt he prom are usually in black, metallic like silver and gold and dyeable. The dyeable type is that you can perfectly match the shoes with the color of the dress. However, if the dress is something that may be unique, the shoes of the same color may be hard to match with other dresses in the future.

Comfort
Heel sizes also matter. If the wearer is not used to high heel shoes, why let her wear one? She will not enjoy her night if this is the case. It is always important to check out and fit the shoes before buying it. If there are straps on the shoes, then these should not bother the wearer or make it worse, cut into her skin.

New shoes are often uncomfortable to wear the first time. Walk in it a few times.in other words, break it in. Scuff the bottoms. Better yet, bring extra shoes like ballet flats that you can slip on after the party.

Remember, this is the prom. It’s a formal dance and your dress should look formal. Don’t wear a dress that is considered a mini dress. Find a dress that is long and elegant or one that is knee length and sassy. Whatever your style, go with it.

Jewelry: This is the time when you want to keep it simple. You don’t want your jewelry outdoing your dress. Wear a simple, yet elegant necklace, simple drop down earrings and maybe a rhinestone bracelet. Don’t wear jewelry that is used for everyday wear unless it has a little sparkle or bling to it.
