For those of you going to prom, around how much are you paying total ??

<p>The dress I want is upwards of $200, so I probably won’t get it. But assuming I do…</p>

<p>Dress: $289.00
–I already have shoes, will do my own hair, no make-up
Dinner: ~$40.00
Transportation costs of getting my boyfriend from college for prom: $130.36
Hotel in town for the night because it takes that long to get there: $109.00
Flowers for my most wonderful date: $10.00
Tickets: free for me! And ~$10.00 for him</p>

<p>Grand total: $578.36</p>

<p>My parents are paying for most of it. My dress will probably be less than $200, though, so the cost will go down.</p>

<p>dang…over $500 for prom??? =0 =0 =0 Thats hella expensive. Why can’t your bf pay for his own transportation??</p>

<p>Because we have to drive down to get him… he doesn’t have a car on campus, and his college town lacks good transport out of it (for example, it takes seventeen hours for the Greyhound to do what would be, for us, a six hour trip). He might be willing to chip in for gas… I hope so. </p>

<p>But yeah, that is really pricey, so I’m trying to find a way to cut costs.</p>

<p>The first thing to go will be my costly dress… :frowning: Oh well. Back to Google for prom dresses under $200!</p>

<p>100 - to rent a nice tux
100 - ticket
50 - share of the limo</p>

<li>not that much.</li>

<p>Ohh…I see…where are you planning to buy your prom dress?</p>

<p>I’m not sure yet… somewhere online.</p>

<p>hmm well on Ebay, they have really nice prom dress for under 150 dollars…and most retails for over $200. There brand new too…there are some used ones but they cost much cheaper.</p>

<p>Here is a seller from EBAY that sells tons of prom dresses!
There all really pretty! ;]

Although, if you want to purchase one from ebay, most sellers require PAYPAL payments. Just sign up for Paypal.</p>

<p>Dress: $100-$200. I spent $30 for my dress last year-- this is my splurge for senior year. :slight_smile:
Limo/rental car: $100 about
Ticket: $60
Dinner: $50</p>

<p>I do my own hair and makeup. </p>

<p>I had friends who spent nearly a grand last year. I would NEVER spend that much money on prom, even if I had the money. It’s absolute insanity.</p>

<p>i think our prom is like 70 bucks?
i dont have a dress yet, itll probs be between 100-400? (maybe less if i can find something nice and vintage)
my hair is too short to do anything with and i am a make up pro.</p>

<p>i might not go at all, instead ill spend the night at the hotel chelsea with some people, which could be 50$? (depending on the number of people)</p>

<p>Dress: $299
Shoes: Using ones I already have, so $0
Hair/Makeup: $60
Ticket:$60
Limo: $70</p>

<p>Total is $489. Ugh. Even though I’m not paying for most of it, I still feel bad.</p>
