Prom is going to be a blast, you just know it! It’s a formative experience for many teenagers and the preparations are half the fun. Dress and tux shopping with your friends, picking out a corsage or boutonniere, and practicing the perfect hair and makeup looks are all great ways to build up anticipation for the big day.
Before you jump in your prom limo and head to the venue, here are a few of the must-have items you need to make sure Prom 2020 is the best one yet!
Accessories
When packing your clutch before you head out, don’t forget all the little accessories that you don’t think you’ll need until you need them. Pack a few extra bobby pins, blotting papers, bandages for blisters, and a mini size bottle of hairspray. You’ll become everyone’s best friend in the bathroom later for touch ups in between songs.
You also don’t want to forget the crucial items for making sure the night runs smoothly. Bring a backup external charger for your phone so your battery doesn’t die from taking tons of pics and videos for social media. It’s also a good idea to have a little cash or your debit card on hand for some late night pizza or drive through on your way home. And of course, don’t forget your ID and the tickets to get in!
Photo Props
Whether you’re doing the photo shoot in a booth at home for the pre-party, in the backyard with your entire group, or in the prom limo on your way to the event, you can jazz up all your shots and show off your fun side with some photo props. Think of pulling out the silly hats, colorful wigs, funny signs, and the classic oversized clown glasses. These can also help bring out the party animal in the more serious and quiet members of the group.
Refreshments
Especially for the girls, getting ready for prom can take several hours. There’s a lot of work that goes into those effortless curls and easy contour! To keep your tummy satisfied until dinner, plan to have a few refreshments available.
Try to stick to bite size items so you don’t mess up your lipstick or spill it on your dress. Think cheese puffs, shrimp cocktail, sushi, mini meatballs, chicken or beef skewers, fruit, cheese, or crackers. For drinks, try putting sparkling water, sparkling cider, non-alcoholic punch, or a signature mocktail into a champagne flute for an extra special touch.
