Even though prom is 3 months away it’s definitely time to start thinking about a budget. Try to save every dollar or cent you can this year. Prom is by far one of the most expensive events to attend. Planning ahead and putting together a game plan will create a smooth prom experience. Lion Tales estimated how much girls or boys would spend at prom this year. Below is a chart of what we thought prom 2016 will cost you. To make sure you have at least $500 by prom day (May 14th) girls you will need to save $50 a week and boys you will need to save $42 for the next 10 weeks. These estimates are based off of one of Lion Tales members that attend prom last year.
