  4. Tickets – Even the best fundraising team will appreciate the assistance of ticket sales to meet budget goals.
  5. Prom Rules– Make sure your prom rules are clear and upfront. You may set regulations for attire (no sneakers!), a refund policy, require ID, set a “no late entry” rule, etc.
  6. What’s on the menu – Whether you plan to serve a full dinner or just appetizers and desserts, you will have to consider budget and dietary restrictions. Set an RSVP deadline that coordinates with when you need to give a head count number to the caterer.

Prom Night

  1. Set Up– On the big day, it is all hands on deck. Organize your volunteers and assign tasks and most importantly Medical Team. Yes, this takes a little pre-planning, but it will be worth it on prom night.
  2. Bring your checklist– You’ve planned and planned. Don’t assume you will remember everything. Make checklists and bring them with you. Also bring a list of important phone numbers so you can get in touch with anyone you might need to last minute.
  3. Make an announcement– Once everyone gets settled, take five minutes to make a few announcements. Thank your committee, point out extra special touches, remind everyone to use your hashtag (see tip #13), etc.
    23. Coronation – The votes have been tallied and now you have the honour of bestowing a crown upon the king and queen. Make sure it is a regal affair and plan for the crowning to take place about half way through prom – so the king and queen can enjoy their moment.
    24. Have fun – This is probably the most important tip of all. You’ve worked your tail off to make it a special night for all. Now it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Relax and soak it all in; it will be over in an instant.

After Prom

  1. Clean up– When the party is over, there is still work to be done. You are going to need your best recruits so clean up is as painless as possible.
  2. Post-prom party – The party isn’t over! There is always a lot of talk about what to do after prom. To keep the student body safe, assign a committee to keep the party going all night long – safely.
  3. Leave a roadmap – Prom is over for you, but next year the planning process will start all over again with a new class. Pass on notes about what worked and what didn’t so they too can have the prom of their dreams.
  4. Donate that dress – Want to give back? Check for organizations that accept donations to provide dresses to students in need or kids too sick to attend prom!
  5. Memorialize it – Best. Prom. Ever! Remember all of the hard work and funny moments by making a Photobook. You will really appreciate it in 10, 20, 30 years especially with photography and photo booth hired.
  6. R&R – Prom was a success and you deserve a pat on the back. Take a little time to get some rest and relaxation – trip to the spa anyone?

With these tips you will make prom dreams come true. All of the hard work will surely be worth it!
