The cost of Prom Night can vary greatly from around $150 to as much as $1500. But you don't have to spend a fortune to have a good time if you plan ahead and make intelligent choices. Just be sure that when you decide to spend money on a particular item the money spent is worth it to you. It is your money and your night; choose wisely. The following is a list of items that will probably be part of your evening's expenses:
T U X E D O :
Most guys wear tuxedos to their proms, which according to Emily Post is considered -semi-formal attire. But if you have a nice dark-colored suit, you might be able to wear that, depending on your particular dance. The school or social mores where you live may require a tux for the evening. But in California, people are much more unconventional and casual--so check out your options. ) If you rent a tuxedo (which can include shoes) for the evening, the going rate is $50-$150 depending upon what extras you might want. The fancier the tuxedo, the more expensive the price will be.
C O R S A G E :
It is customary for the guy to buy a corsage for his date. It can be a pin-on type, or one she can wear around her wrist. Some even buy a modified nosegay that a girl can carry in her hand. It is a good idea to know what color dress your date is wearing so that the corsage you choose doesn't clash. Some couples like to go together and choose the flowers. Again, how much you spend on this item varies greatly and what you want determines the cost. Most people spend $25-$50 on a corsage. But I have seen as much as $150 spent. Be wise in making your choice.
L I M O U S I N E :
A limousine is a very expensive extra for your prom night. It can be fun for three or four couples to go together to the prom in a limousine, and some do. Just be sure that you want to do this and budget accordingly. The standard cost for a limo for the evening starts around $400. If you split the cost between eight of you, it might be something you would like to do. But be sure to check to see that the limousine service is licensed by the state. Otherwise, there have been many horror stories about limo drivers leaving kids, asking for more money the evening of the prom, or not showing up at all if they get a better fare. Research the references of the service meticulously. Don't be sorry the evening of the Prom.
soo...as you see, prom nite is gonna be FUN! haha However, these are not the rules, they are just for your (guys) reference. I myself would just do a lil research and set up a reasonable budget for myself, that always works for me. |
