Prom season is upon us, and with it comes the excitement of promposals and the glamour of the big night. But let’s talk numbers—because a memorable prom doesn’t have to break the bank. On average, the prom checklist—dress or tux, shoes, tickets, hair and makeup, jewelry, and transportation—can add up to around $1,000. That’s quite the investment for one magical evening.
As a savvy parent, you’re already thinking ahead. Setting a budget is a smart move. It’s about balance: celebrating this milestone with your teen while teaching them the value of money. So, will you decide on a prom budget together? It’s a great opportunity for a valuable life lesson wrapped in sequins and bow ties. 🌟
