is a Boutonniere an absolute necessity for prom?

It is not necessary, but it is traditional.

Not really, I'm a girl and I think I had one before my boyfriend converted me to stockings and a garter belt.  I still wear them to bed sometimes when I am alone, and under shorts and jeans when he isn't around.

I have watched both my daughters prepare for their prom nights in Canada.  From what I have seen the dresses on prom night are of all types and colours, and range from semi-formal to very formal.  I would suggest something simple and classic, that will flatter you and your personality, and something you will feel comfortable wearing.  \n\nBegin to visit some stores in your area to get some ideas about what is available.  Talk to the people working in the stores about what girls are buying for prom night.  Maybe you might even see somthing that you could get a seamstress to make for you much cheaper than buying it in the store.  Another place to look if you don't mind shopping there, is in thrift stores.  One of my daughters was very frugal and didn't want us to spend all that money on a dress, and she found a lovely one at a Salvation Army store.  We dry cleaned it and did a couple of alterations and it was perfect.  \n\nI hope these thoughts help.

I think that's a fantastic idea! You guys should do it. When I was in high school, we decided to go to Macdonald's in formal dress, like it was the prom. We hired a limo, got one of our friends to serenade us on the violin, had other friends dressed as waiters, with the white napkin over one arm. We had a wine steward...(for the cokes)...we brought somebody's mom's best china, candles, etc. One of the guys (there were 6 couples) brought a book of Shakespeare's sayings and read from that to his date. After "dining", we danced on the little walkway that wound around the building, to the music of the violin. A newspaper photographer showed up and our pictures were on the next day's front pages. (it was a small town)\n\nDo the crazy things you think of now before you're too old. They'll be memories you can laugh about always...

Ask him. one last time, if he will go with you. If he says no; tell him that you are going to go with one of your male friends, and do just that! Then ask yourself whether or not he is the one for you (If he can not see how important the Prom is to you and put his own feelings aside to make you happy you may want to consider kicking him to the curb!

I guess it kind of depends on how far away prom is and if the other guy has bought his tux yet, if the guy you've already asked has his tux, go with him, because if you don't you're a bitch, and if he doesn't, then ask the guy you want to.  It's not like anyone's losing anything.

Don't go into dresses and suits because you will probably never wear them again. Try for a nice top and shirt, fancy but not overdone, and also something you can wear to other occasions too. About the boquet, gather a bunch of friends and go pick some in a field where flowers grow and no one cares if they are picked just before the wedding, maybe a day before or something. You can arrange them the way you like. You could just have the wedding in your backyard or a friends backyard if yours is unnacceptable.\n\nSeriously, about the rings, you might just have to splurge. They will (hopefully) be for a life time, so I think it will add up in the end. Weddings just are expensive, not very many ways around it.\n\nGood luck in your marriage! (whenever and however it happens)

Well technically, if I remember correctly, Prom is short for Promenade, so you could be 'going to promenade' if it's the verb form.  However, the Prom is the noun version, so it should be 'the Prom.'

Most consignment shops would take an old prom dress...I don't think you would have much luck making money off it anywhere else (unless you tried to sell it on e-bay).  But if you were willing to, you could try to donate it...I'm sure a high-school girl with very little money might appreciate a free dress.

No. Its not. Friends are friends. I would take another girl to the prom as friends.

Aw, the care bears are going hardcore! Well, first you should start by putting up barriers. I would suggest synthetic foam rubber throw pillows as they are non-allergenic. Then you could spray Exclamation perfume in the air as no self-respecting debutant would dare be caught wearing that fragrance. Also, you might consider putting up some signs that say "flea market". Me and my homies would never be seen at a second-hand store. Anyway, just make it socially embarrasing and most of the girls will stay away if they value the tile of prom queen. Peace out, homie. Word to the mother! Snitches get stitches!

In the past proms were very special,coat and tie affairs,you would dress in your best cloths ,/and with your best girl on your arm dance the night away to usually live band music.THAY WERE THE THE AFFAIRS THAT YOUNG PEOPLES MEMORIES WERE MADE OF.

Not at all.  Tell her you know its kind of late notice but its been taking you this long to get over your nervousness and that you really would like to escort/take her to the prom.  She should be flattered and give you the answer you wanna hear.  Check yourself in the mirror for looks too before you approach her.  Ask if you can speak to her alone for a second if she's with friends.  Good luck.
