(Continued from Allpromdresses): Planning for the Early Birds
PromDressesRock.com provides you with more info on gemstones, pearls and other prom jewelries
====================
The Tuxedo:
Well, guys, you have to rent one. Start making your reservation. Go to the store or tux rental business to try on a few tuxedos. Make sure you have a good fit. Remember that if you go to the school prom you can’t take off your clothes off. You may take off your jacket, but you must wear your shirt. No stripping on the dance floor no matter how hot you get. Otherwise, your parents will receive a phone call or you will get thrown out without your prom date.
The Perfect Prom Dress, Purse and Shoes
Hey, mothers and young women, this is bonding time! Your mother will want to pass on to you her great shopping, dress-hunting skills. Listen to her advice even though you already know what you want to buy. After all, you know what’s hip or in style .
AllpromDresses will have a list of all the stores you need to shop at. For example, J.C.
Penney, Marshall Field’s, David’s Bridal and Nordstrom, Gottschalks are some of the stores that may be on your long list. So once again, timing is very important. The earlier you start, the more success you will have. Disappointments will be out of the way. Keep in mind that if you want to buy, you can always make this dress available for rent next prom season. And if you can’t buy, you can rent. Make sure that you go to a store to select your dress. If there’s any tailoring issue, make sure you have an appointment.
More and more women choose to go the rental way just like guys do for their tux. They can wear their dream dress for one night instead of paying up to a $1000.00 on a dress which they will wear for one night. Rental is an option.
The Limo
If you are younger than 18, bring your parents who will sign for you. If not, make sure you know how many people will be part of your group. Limos can fit from 10 to 22 people. Make sure you reserve the right one at least four months ahead of the prom season. You don’t want to run into the case where weddings and other prom competitors get the last limo
Choosing House or Hall Rentals for prom or grad parties
If you are going to throw a party, contact the owner or landlord ahead of time. Usually, they ask for a downpayment. Depending on the rental cost, it can in the thousands of dollars. If you don’t get this prime dance spot, others will in a heartbeat. If your party group can’t come up with the money, try to enlist sponsors ahead of time. This way, you will be able to deliver better.
Remember that your parents are usually on this with you. That’s their chore! Maybe, all you will need is a tent with some decorations. If you are thinking about having lots of children around, try to keep them busy.
The Flowers
They are very integral parts of the celebration. Contact a florist to make sure you get the roses, daisies and other kinds of flowers you want. Roses will last longer, based on my experience. Remember that prom and wedding seasons arrive at about the same time. Florists, beauticians and other specialists you need may be very busy. So the earlier you start, the better!
Tanning, Hair, Makeup and Nails
Decide where you are going to have them done. You want to look great from head to toe. Your makeup should be perfect in order to have the best pics possible. Tanning is becoming more and more common. If there’s no need for it, you don’t have to go to a tanning salon.
Pick a date and send out the invites
Send out the invites and request R.S.V.Ps. You will need to start planning how much food, beverages and seating you will need. In the invites, include date, direction, time, name of the lucky prom person, the host and type of entertainment. Include an e-mail address just in case somebody wants to sponsor your kid. Businesses are known to participate for advertising purposes. If they want to show their brand, they need to pay up.
Jewelry, prom rings, bracelets, chains and pearls:
Besides the dress, shoes, limo, food and beverages, you need the right pieces of jewelry for the occasion. You and your parents can find the best deals in jewelry on the Web. PearlParadise has a large variety of pearls you can select from. If you don’t know much about the quality of pearls, the site will teach you. After all, PearlParadise wants you to make informed decisions and have great deals. With this company, the price is always right. Based in Santa Monica, California, Pearl Paradise, has been in the business of making consumers happy. Take a look at its showroom, you will see a lot of very important consumers who make the trek to the showroom to buy or browse its prized inventory.
Jeremy Shepherd is a buyer’s guy. He prices his pearls so you can purchase them. He buys directly from the farms which he monitors. When I spoke with during the writing of this feature, he was traveling in Asia. Jeremy Shepherd cuts the middleman out in order to be able to offer you the best possible prices. “Jeremy visited Asia more than two hundred times, eagerly learning everything there was to know about pearls. He studied their cultivation process from beginning to end, and developed friendships with the people who farmed them.” Remember that pearls are gemstones that are unique in that they are natural, organic products of living creatures. Their luster gets enhanced over time. At PearlParadise.com, customer service is provided in various languages: Spanish, French and other Asian languages. Jeremy Shepherd himself speaks a slew of them and puts himself at your service.

Prom Cakes and Caterers
Feel free to contact other parents and friends who had some good experience with caterers and cake makers. You don’t want to take chances on such a special day. UtahCakes.com usually comes to mind. They have a huge selection of cakes you can select from. You can at least get some inspiration there. Get the price from different vendors. If needs be, taste their foods and cakes. You don’t want any disappointments on prom night. You should ask for samples of their offerings.
