It is almost that time… prom! My brother is a Vice Principal at a local high school and he said that everyone is already talking about it. Spring is a time for hope & fun & fashion, isn’t it? This sponsored post by jenjenhouse came just in time because I am excited to share my tips for you… coming from my own prom and what I hope I will do when our daughter goes to prom…

I wanted to share some tips for sending your daughter to prom:

1- DATES: If your daughter does not have a date, let her know that is is very common to go in a group! If I weren’t dating my husband in high school (we were married the year that we graduated from college), I would have had a blast going in a group to the prom! You pretty much end up that way, anyways. I think my two best fiends (Sarah & Angela) and I hung out together for most of the prom anyways- luckily our dates were friends, too!

2- FLOWERS- Remind your daughter that it is polite (& romantic) to be gifted a corsage, so wear it proudly! I remember when my husband gave me one with a little teddy bear on it. I was so embarrassed… oh my! Looking back, it was a sweet little gesture & I should have been more thankful & less judging! (I was 15 at the time, so have a little grace when reading this selfish confession. haha!)

3- MONEY– always make sure that your child has money in case he/she needs it. A $20 tucked into the back of their iPhone case is always a good idea.

4- DRESS SHOPPING- dress shopping is so much fun! Be sure to let your daughter pick out a dress that works for her (that you approve!)
Let her look around and encourage her to try out some colors- I was a black & white dress girl, but I loved the one pink dress that I had!
Here is a dress that I wouldn’t have thought to try on, but look at how beautiful it is (this dress if from jenjenhouse.com
