Prom is just around the corner.  What are some tips or advice you have when it comes to getting your teens ready for prom?

Some of the tips we heard this morning:

Check out Goodwill for gently used and only-worn-once dresses.

Have fun trying on your dream dress even if you can’t afford it…and bring a camera to remember the fun experience.

Practice wearing heels if you haven’t worn them before.  You don’t want to be remembered as the girl that had to have an ambulance come to treat a broken ankle.

Give yourself time to shop.  Have fun and don’t rush.

Invite your friends over and have them bring there previous formal event gowns and swap.

Buying a tux might be more cost effective.

Comfort is an important part of your attire.

REMEMBER there are many temptations on prom night that can lead to some tough choices for teens.  Talk with them.  Empower them to make the right choices when it comes to relationships, drugs and alcohol and all around safety and respect for themselves and property on that special night.

The main goal of good manners is to make others feel special.  What is something that  you appreciate that everyone could do for one another?

Personally I love when men hold the door for ladies.  I find that even guys who aren’t use to opening doors for ladies, will do it.  But you have to stand infront of the door and don’t move until they get it.
