A prom is an exciting event that you will remember for the rest of your life. Some planning will help to ensure that the evening will be as enjoyable as possible. You will want to make a list of all of the things you can address before that exciting evening arrives, so here are some things to consider.

Asking Your Date

Having a date for the prom makes the evening complete. Pick someone you know whose company you enjoy and who shares similar interests. If you like to dance, having a partner who is a good dancer will add magic to the evening. The earlier you ask someone to accompany you, the more available they will be to accept. Pick a one-on-one time to approach them when you’re both away from a crowd. Ask them if they have any interest in going to the prom as a lead-in. There are creative ways to ask someone to the prom if you are looking for ideas.

Planning the Drive

Young drivers can get excited going to this type of event, so having a focus on the road during the drive to the prom is needed. Many accidents are caused by distracted driving. To drive safe, make sure to turn your cell phone off as soon as you get in the car. Be sure to keep your eyes on the road at all times, and drive the route ahead of time to become familiar with the roads. This practice route includes going to pick up your date at their home. Decide if you are going out to dinner on the way to the dance, and, if so, include the eating destination in your practice route.

Reserving Your Tuxedo

You want to look your best on that special evening. A standard black tuxedo will be appropriate for the occasion, but you may want to dress a bit outside the box. Find out what color your date is wearing, and you can add accents to your outfit to match. Cummerbunds come in a variety of colors, so it is possible to color coordinate to add a bit of flair. Remember to reserve formal shoes to complete your overall look.

Your date will be impressed at your organized way of planning for the big night. Remember to dress to impress, bring flowers, wash and clean the car, make reservations for dinner and, above all, drive safe without distractions. Make this a magical event for you and your date.
