With Prom season just getting started, there are many tips and tricks to remember in order to assure a night you will never forget. Things like picking out a dress or finding that perfect date can be tough, but on prom day these should be the least of worries!

1. Ladies - Take all the time you need!

Give yourself plenty of time to take care of business such as: Have your hair appointment marked in advance, and know how you want to style it before you get there. Plan for a make-up malfunction, be prepared with remover wipes if you try to experiment new eye get ups. Have your jewelry ready, nails done and shoes broken in (avoiding blisters is a must on the dance floor!)

2. Gentlemen - Be Gentlemen!

Your dates took a lot more time to get ready, help them out by: Not forgetting the tickets (not a good start to the night) Step in and open the door (its prom!) Even though the ladies might be late, its imperative YOU ARE ON TIME. Sounds unfair? Could be worse.

3. Have Fun & Be Safe!

This night happens once a year; don't let these mistakes define your prom: Don't forget a camera! These pictures will hold memories for years to come. Don't be naive at the after party! Keep track of your OWN cup, and know what's inside that fruit punch bowl. No Drinking and Driving; that will follow you well past prom.
