Did You Choose the Right Dress For Your Prom?

The Pre-Prom Beauty Party

Nothing worries a girl more than choosing a dress that she thinks is absolutely gorgeous and then having everyone at the prom burst a gut because they are laughing so hard. I'm sure you can remember cases of a poor class mate who simply tried too hard and failed miserably. Here are a few fun ways to prevent that from happening to you. It's called the pre-prom beauty party and the time and effort spent is worth it's weight in gold.

• Call up your immediate group of girlfriends and tell them to set aside a Saturday afternoon. If work interfere's, choose a night that works for everyone.

• Gather up a selection of the most recent prom magazines featuring dresses. You might want to ask your friends to bring some as well.

• Decide on some munchies to serve. Remember to keep them as low fat and healthy as possible. You don't want to add an extra pound or two at this stage.

• When friends arrive, go through the magazines and choose 4 or five dresses that each of you like.

• Time for discussion. Ask for opinions on the dresses you chose. Which ones are a possibility and more importantly, which ones were given the thumbs down?

• Remove the pages from the magazine and tuck into your purse. You will be taking them with you on your next trip to the mall.
