We have some recommendations. Tie or Bow Tie : Which one is up to you. Bow ties work best with tuxedos.
Dress Shirt : White is the way to go. If you wear a tux and bow tie, try a tuxedo shirt. Black Shoes : Shiny patent leather is great for a modern outfit. Black leather works, too. Suspenders : A fun, vibey accessory, but tux pants have waist adjusters and you can use a belt for a suit. Your pants will be fine without suspenders.
If plans fall through and you can't attend, you can always sell the tickets to less prepared guys who didn't think ahead. If you are renting a prom tuxedo , shop early for the best deals and widest selection of styles.
To make sure you coordinate with your date, ask her opinion on basic styles or colors, but feel free to experiment a little and add your own flair to your prom attire. When you rent the tuxedo, be sure it is sized correctly for a proper fit, and ask questions about any accessories you aren't sure how to use. If you will be attending prom with a group of friends, consider coordinating all your tuxedos for a sleek, fashionable look. Give yourself a few weeks to find the right tux that you feel the most comfortable in.
If you will be renting transportation such as a limousine , consider pooling your resources with other couples to make it more affordable, and shop early for a reservation. Give yourself a few weeks to compare a few different company's pricing and select the best option for your group at least two weeks before prom.
If you're nervous about dancing at the prom, arrange for beginner's dance lessons a few weeks before the event.
These can also be fun dates with your prom partner and will let both of you polish your moves before hitting the dance floor. Make dinner reservations at least two weeks in advance if the prom tickets do not include a catered dinner.
Choose a restaurant you and your date can comfortably enjoy - be sure to ask about any allergies or preferences she may have. You can also head to dinner with a few of your mutual friends and make it a fun couples outing before heading to prom. Two weeks before the prom, ask your date about the color of her dress so you can coordinate a matching corsage. If she wants to keep her dress a surprise, choose a corsage in white or with the school colors to be safe.
Order the corsage as soon as you know the colors and expect it to take a few days to a week to make before you can pick it up. Get a new haircut or trim a week before the prom. Now is not the time to experiment with radically new styles, but a fresh haircut will look great on prom night. On the day of the prom, it isn't only girls who need time to look their best.
Prom tips for guys on that important day include the following. If you aren't renting a car or limo, be sure the car you will use is clean and gassed up before picking up your date. You can get a quick car wash a few days before or do it yourself. Make sure to remove all trash and miscellaneous random items that have accumulated in there over time so your car looks nice and tidy. Attend to your personal hygiene carefully, including a shower, close shave, trimmed and cleaned fingernails, and other details to be well groomed for the evening.
If you use aftershave or cologne, take care not to apply too much as some people are sensitive to certain scents. Be prompt to pick up your date and greet her parents politely. Be prepared to answer questions about your plans for the evening and be sure to ask about the evening's curfew so you can have your date home on time.
Girls usually put a lot of time and thought into their outfit and they expect their dates to look just as great as they do. Because prom is usually a black tie affair, be sure to dress formally and to be well groomed for the occasion.
Wear a nice suit or tuxedo to make sure your dress is formal enough for the occasion. Find out what color your date is wearing so you can coordinate small details like socks, ties, and pocket squares. Pay close attention to your hygiene that night including showering, shaving, getting a fresh haircut, and using cologne sparingly. Looking clean and fresh will help you feel more confident around your date.
Bring a corsage. Corsages are small bouquets of flowers that are presented to your date as a sign of respect. Traditionally, they are worn on the left shoulder or left wrist if the dress is strapless or spaghetti strap. A boutonniere is a similar but smaller version of the flower bouquet that is pinned to the male's suit. It is customary for the female to present the boutonniere to the male and it usually matches the corsage but it is not necessary. You should try to coordinate the corsage with your date's gown or choose neutral colors such as peach, white, or pink.
Many different flowers can be used depending on style and budget including roses, lilies, carnations, and orchids. Because prom season is a peak season for florists, you should order your date's corsage weeks in advance to ensure the florist has enough time to create the custom bouquet.
Although you order in advance, you should try to pick your order up no sooner than the day before prom. You can also make the corsage the day before prom. Keep the flowers looking fresh by spritzing with water, keeping it in the container, refrigerating it, and using a sealant which can be found at any flower shop. Be on time. Because there are so many stops to make on prom night, being prompt is incredibly important.
Aside from that, nothing makes a worse first impression on a girl and her parents than being late. Have an itinerary or a plan of action. Know your schedule ahead of time so you know exactly what time you have to leave one spot in order to arrive at your next destination on time. If you know you are chronically late, determine what is making you late enjoy the rush, easily distracted, trying to get too much done? Don't plan to leave on time. Plan to leave early so you leave some wiggle room for the unexpected.
Plan for post-prom activities. The actual prom dance only lasts anywhere from hours so many people choose to have post-prom activities to keep the fun rolling. Discuss possible plans with your date so you can plan accordingly. Will you have to take the limo back? Will you need a change of clothes? Will you need an overnight bag?
In an effort to keep students safe, many schools will host a post-prom activity at a local entertainment center like a bowling alley or skating rink. Be sure to know how long the event lasts, if there is an entry cost, and how you will arrive. Cruise around. If you have a limo, this is a perfect way to burn off the extra hours of paid time you may have remaining. Drive to spots in your city or town where you've never been or spots that are known to be romantic in nature.
Attend a house party. Naturally, there will be a few post-prom parties thrown by students. Before planning to attend, be sure to respect your date's rules and curfew, and make sure you aren't putting her in any dangerous situations. Part 2. Practice good chivalry. Chivalry is known as a code of ethics for how men treat women. The best way to describe it is to be courteous, respectful and helpful to your date.
Open doors for her, pull our her chair, if she is cold give her your jacket. In general, put her needs first and she will be happy. Chivalry doesn't always fit in with modern dating methods. So be sure to tune into your date's responses to your actions to ensure you aren't going overboard with the niceties. Be polite but know that she's a modern day gal who isn't helpless.
Compliment her. Sincere compliments not only break the ice, but they can also help to build bonds of trust and to make the mood cheerful and jolly. When complimenting your date, be unique instead of using generalities, and avoid making crude or overtly sexual compliments--especially if you're complimenting her appearance. Be unique. Instead of saying, "You have a nice smile" find a unique feature that draws you in such as, "I love that freckle on your neck.
It's pretty cute. Even though "You look skinny in that dress" seems like it would be a compliment, many girls may take it the wrong way. Every girl loves to be complimented on their appearance, but avoid cheesy phrases like "hot" or "smoking".
Pick a nice, sit-down restaurant that's nearby no fast food guys! Whether you're going alone or with a group of friends, make reservations as soon as possible.
All of your classmates will be doing the same and the best spot in town will book up. Also, just like purchasing prom tickets, most guys will pick up the dinner tab.
Whether you have your own car, borrowing the family mini-van, finally getting the keys to your dad's cherished '65 Mustang or renting a limo, make sure you have a way to get you and your date to prom. If you don't want to drive or don't have a license, renting a limo with a large group of friends is a fun and memorable option. Prom tradition says the guy presents his date with a beautiful floral corsage. What's a corsage, you ask? It's a small bouquet of flowers worn on a female's wrist.
Your date will likely buy a similar boutonniere for the lapel of your tux. Many grocery florists make corsages, too, and sometimes for a bit cheaper than a flower shop. Since ribbon is often involved, the florist will likely want to know the color of your date's dress to coordinate. Ask your date. While you think she's wearing "pink," in reality she could be wearing "blush pink" or "coral," which are much different colors to a florist.
