Hey, jym, your tips are fantastic! You have some suggestions I never would have thought of, such as masking tape to mark the tuxes and off-brand water bottles.

Your list is very timely here, since our kids have their junior-senior prom next weekend (I’m still sewing–the dress isn’t coming together as quickly as I had hoped). The parents of one of my daughter’s good friends offered to host the after-prom affair, and my contribution will be a breakfast casserole and maybe a pan of grandma’s cinnamon rolls (in-laws arriving Friday for graduation)–and all of your great advice! We are having the female half of the gang over for the getting-ready-for-prom thing so the grandparents can see them all dressed up, meet the dates, etc. That won’t be too big a deal because I’ve been busily doing little yard and house projects anyway in preparation for The Visit and graduation.

I was just looking at last year’s prom pictures taken in front of the clematis vines in full bloom all over the garden house. The prom was on Memorial Day weekend last year, but the clematis has been finished for a week already–almost no winter to speak of and an earlier, warmer spring than normal here.
