POST #1/5 PLANNING AHEAD

Planning Ahead

Biggest Suggestion is PLAN AHEAD!
In the event, you are one who typically has hard time finding what you like it is best to start shopping now. The further along you get into the Prom Season your selection may be limited to style, size and color based on what is in stock. Some stores, as a courtesy, will not sell the same dress to another student going to the same Prom, thus having a classmate get to your dress first. Remember they do this so you aren't embarrassed with another classmate wearing the same dress. Which brings me to the next thing, have your class president set up a Prom page here on FB for your school that is monitored by a staff member, like the guidance counselor. Be sure to note the restrictions clearly. Suggestion: "That you only post once you have bought the dress and that anyone posting the dress afterward will be the one having to make another choice." Several schools already do this and it has been helpful.

In the past, I have had girls order a dress and find out that the company/supplier underestimated the demand, thus not getting their dream dress and having to shop for something else last minute. Simply put company/suppliers sometimes struggle to have dresses made to fulfill orders not only for Prom but for other formal events going on at that time. In some instances it can be the weather related delays or delivery issues out of the company/suppliers control. This can result in added stress wondering whether you are going to get your dress in time and are you going to get it in time to get it altered, if needed.

Planning ahead helps increase your chances of getting first pick over everything...your dress, appointments, photographer, flowers, limousine, and more making your Prom a memorable one.
