We all know that as fun as prom season can be, there’s a ton to do! This checklist will be your guide to preparing for the time of your life!

2. Get Healthy
Make an effort to eat healthy and do some exercise, you’re going to have these photos forever! Take care of your teeth; you’ll be doing lots of smiling!
3. The Dress
Shop in advance! The stores all get raided for prom season and you don’t want to be caught searching for your size and having to settle. If ordering online plan to wait a bit for delivery! Don’t forget you may need slight alterations to make your dress fit perfectly!

7. Get Plenty of Rest
Try taking an afternoon nap. It’s going to be a late night, and you want to look fresh and rested!
8. Purse Switch
Move the essentials from your day time purse to the one you’ve chosen to match your dress. Make sure you have your tickets, some money, phone, some make-up for touch-ups, etc. Don’t forget the tampons if it’s that time of the month!
9. Assemble your Ensemble
Match your accessories to your chosen dress! Wear comfortable yet stylish shoes, some jewelry for this special occasion, your purse (of course), and a bit of make-up to top off your look! You’re going to turn heads in a major way!
