Last Minute Prom Checklist: 5 Things to Remember

The days leading up to prom can be the most hectic, so it’s easy to forget some of the most important details. To make your life easier, we have compiled a checklist of 5 things to remember in the days leading up to prom:

  

Schedule your hair and makeup appointments

Dress? Check. Shoes? Check. Accessories? Check. The only thing that’s missing now is your hair and makeup! Hair stylists and makeup artists are usually booked every weekend during prom season, so it is important that you schedule your glam appointment in advance. Your stylist or artist will likely need time to gather products that are suitable for your hair and skin type, so scheduling an appointment early is not something you want to procrastinate on.

 

Pick up your corsage and boutonniere

For anyone with a prom date, it is tradition to purchase a corsage and boutonniere—these floral details are simple but are a beautiful addition to any prom look. Because the corsage and boutonniere are such small details in the grander scheme of things, it can be easy to forget them. Set a reminder in your phone to swing by the floral shop and pick up your corsage and boutonniere.

 

Choose a location for your prom photos

Prom is one of the most highly anticipated events during a student’s high school career, and easily the most documented. Years from now, you will cherish your prom photos. This is why it is important that you secure a location for your prom photos days in advance. If you have hired a photographer, they will need time to prepare for your shoot. If your photographer knows the venue, he or she will know what camera equipment to bring to your shoot, so finalizing photography details early will be beneficial.

 

Make your dinner reservation

Many students like to go out to eat before prom, so restaurants are busy during prom season. This is why it is important to consider making your dinner reservation days in advance, especially if you have a large party. Making your dinner reservation early will secure your table and ensure the restaurant has plenty of time to prepare for your entourage.

 

Finalize transportation arrangements

You’ve got your dress, you’ve got your date, but how will you get to prom? Transportation arrangements should not be decided the day of prom. Whether you’re taking a limousine, or your Dad is playing chauffer for the evening, you cannot forget to make transportation arrangements.
