Carpool or Share a Limo: Transportation costs can add up. Consider carpooling with friends or sharing a limo to split the expenses. And you can always add a ribbon or some decorations to a parent’s car to provide that special touch.
Host a Pre-Prom Gathering: Instead of dining at an expensive restaurant, host a pre-prom gathering with friends. You can have a potluck dinner or order affordable takeout – it's a fun way to start the night.
Early Bird Tickets: Many proms offer discounted tickets for those who buy early. Don't miss out – get your tickets as soon as they're available.
Floral accessories: Corsages and buttonholes can be expensive, but you can always make your own. Use flowers from the garden and matching ribbon then follow the tutorial at youtube.com/@FlowerMoxie
