Top Night before Prom Tips - Things to do before your prom night

Hey, I remember the first time I had a prom….I couldn’t sleep the whole night through and ended up looking like a really drunk Panda Bear that night. But thank goodness there was makeup…AND fabulous clothing to make up for it. Anyway, here’s something I would like to share with all of you wanting to look really cool classy during your prom night. In fact, some of these prom tips might apply to you men as well…so, listen up!

First prom tip for couples – clothing coordination
Short of sounding like a Prima Donna with nothing else better to do than to bother with whether the brooch goes with the shoes or if the bag goes with the lipstick, clothing coordination for a prom is a MUST. I mean, imagine going to prom with your date wearing green and you wearing red. A couple of clowns! If you don’t want to stay safe during your prom by wearing the black-white combo, here’s a prom tip I dispense only for you…CALL YOUR DATE to coordinate the clothing! At least coordinate the color of the clothing you’re both going to be wearing for the night of the prom, ok?

Prom Tip No. 2 – Call and confirm the booking of the prom limousine
There’s nothing more harrowing to me (and to you, as well) as sitting in the living room waiting for the prom limousine to arrive. You’re checking your clock, waiting and calling your prom date to confirm if the limousine’s arrived yet…and then you’re waiting some more….what a pain! If you want to avoid this kind of torture, call the limousine rental company to confirm the date and time.

Prom Tip No. 3 – Get the snooze
Yes, I know you’d rather be practicing your Salsa moves but not till midnight, please. Remember, you want to look like you’ve just finished off at the spa instead of looking like what I did. Sleep early, sleep well before prom night. Do everything you can to look like a famous celebrity on the night of the Oscars.

Prom Tip No. 4 – Eat Right
I said eat right not eat everything in sight. Most of us would spend the days leading up to the prom night pushing food around the plate or avoiding our favorite eateries altogether but this should be avoided. During the prom, you’ll need all the energy you can get. Especially not right before the prom! If you need to lose weight for the prom, do it weeks before prom night.

Prom Tip No. 5 – Check your shoes
This is not a cosmetic thing….more like a comfort thing. After buying your shoes and briefly checking them out at the store, most of us would put the shoes away until prom night. But this is not a good idea. Take your prom shoes out for a test drive a couple of days before the prom; this way, if you need to make alterations or small adjustments, you still have the time. You’re going to be whipping out all those practiced dance moves on that night, aren’t you? So, why torture yourself? The same goes for men.
