<p>Ok so our prom is this thursday, yes i know, kinda early, but w/e…</p>
<p>So I’ve spent a total of $514, is it me or does it seem quite excessive?</p>
<p>That’s really early, ours isn’t until the end of next month.</p>
<p>it is expensive, but it can get much much worse. I mean if you add up the ticket, dress/tux, dinner, limo, hotel, corsage/butenere(spelled that wrong), hair/makeup, it can add up to almost $700 or $800 dollars. This girl in my class spent $500 on dress and our limo bus is $61 a person and tickets are $55 and dinner is $40 per person… so I see what you mean.</p>
<p>Our prom is March 31st!!!</p>
<p>You’re lucky you have prom to look forward to, I just have my 8th Grade Draduation dance… </p>
<p>No, considering all the expenses that come with prom, I don’t think you’ve spent an excessive amount.</p>
<p>Have fun at your prom!</p>
<p>ahh i just got my dress today!
ours isnt for awhile tho…and i dont have a date yet which sucks.</p>
<p>last year prom really sucked for me, i lost a really good friend because of stupid prom table seatings.</p>
<p>at my scchool prom= DRAMMMMMAAAAA and i hate it.</p>
<p>Wow… your prom is really early! Ours isn’t until the end of MAY.</p>
<p>…I don’t plan on going to prom. $500+, in my opinion, is too much for a few hours of enjoyment. I’d rather go on a backpacking trip in Europe.</p>
<p>Prom was a huge waste of money. I’m so glad high school is over. :D</p>
<p>I spent ~$400 on prom, and I went without a date (as did most of my friends). It was fun getting dressed up, but prom probably wasn’t worth the money.</p>
<p>Your prom is on Thursday? That’s really weird.</p>
<p>Your prom is early.</p>
<p>its on a thursday because friday theres no school, and its early because my school is ■■■■■■■■ basically we have the first prom and the last graduation in our whole school district…talk about dumb…and I forgot to add in the flowers for my date so thats about an extra 20-30dollars…</p>
<p>either way I kinda agree with what someone else said, after spending all that cash I wish I would’ve done something else-because knowing my school; prom will turnout horribly the after party will get raided by the cops and everyone will hate each other, and we have to see each other for 2more months…</p>
<p>Our prom isn’t until May sometime. I’m not going. Too expensive, and I know I won’t enjoy it anyways.</p>
<p>Don’t most people bring dates to the prom? At my school, a lot say they aren’t, but as the date gets closer, they all get more frantic and end up finding a “safety” (wow, been thinking about colleges too often…) date to go with.</p>
<p>My prom is really, really late this year. Early May.</p>
<p>Coincidentally, it’s the Friday before AP exams. Which also means that senior skip day (traditionally the Monday after prom) is going to be sucked into the exam void. F-.</p>
<p>I really like dances, since I don’t get dressed up very often (I’m just not a skirt-and-make-up kind of girl on normal days), but it does get expensive. Ebay is great for cheap dresses, though.</p>
<p>My prom is in may and even though I’m a junior, I’m going. (It’s the senior prom but a lot of my friends are seniors so I’m allowd to go.) I picked out my dress and its gorgeous. I won’t put the price on here since you said 500 is way to much but it’s at neiman marcus. i <3 that store. Then it’s $50 for dinner and i guess my date is going to pay for the limo. I might chip in though. I always feel bad about those things.</p>
<p>I think I spent like $300 last year, and I just went with a group of friends.</p>
<p>This year I’m pretty sure I’ll have a date…so that might help defray some of the costs…haha prom sucks for guys (monetarily).</p>
<p>My prom is in late May, and I’ve had a back up date since summer. Just in case I don’t get asked by a guy, I already have a plan B. lol</p>
<p>All the other girls are sweating it out, and I’m not worrying about it at all. :D</p>
