Planning Prom is a BIG Job

I'm the Senior Prom Chair at my high school. For my senior project, I'm attempting to compile a guide to having an awesome prom night. As part of the process, I have to write up my personal reflections and thoughts as I go along. I figured, Keep a Blog on it! I can link it in to the final product and it keeps my journal available to me everywhere! Forgive me though, this is my first blog :S

Event planning is a big job! I've planned a couple of small dances throughout high school and I was on committee for Junior Prom. I've also been president for a couple of clubs. Senior Prom is the event though. Everyone goes on about how you remember it for the rest of your life. I've been to two senior proms - they were pretty good. But we're the CLASS OF 2010! We should be able to top them!!

The idea with this project is to document creating that special night that capstones High School. How do you plan Prom? How do you build a budget or organize committees? People are bound to get stressed - how do you mediate the inevitable conflict? I'm pretty worried about all these things but excited as well. Our first Prom Committee meeting is in two weeks. In a week, I meet with the advisor to try and set up a budget. Right now, I'm trying to build subcommittees and trying to find people to chair those subcommittees. Senior Prom is a big deal. It takes a lot of preparation. I kind of hope that anyone who follows this blog will comment on their past experiences and join me and the Committee on this journey.

Of course, part of the journey is preparing yourself too. Finding a date, getting a dress/tux, what on earth is a 'boutonniere' and more importantly, how do you pin it on your date??? (I've had real issues with the guy's flower in the past. And I'm a girl in case that does come through). Are limos all they're cracked up to be or is there are better way to get to prom? What's the secret to pre-prom parties?

Prom is an American Tradition and there is so much to consider and explore. And to do!!

Days to Prom: 127 days to Senior Prom 2010!
