    How much have you spent on prom?
    I'm just wondering how much everyone has spent on prom so far, and how much they have paid for each part. Like, dress, suit, transport, etc, etc.

    I had mine last Friday, and I'd say I spent about £150 on clothing, and it was £44 for my share of the Limo there and back. Oh and the prom itself was £60.

    About £280 on the dress, shoes and stuff. It's not that bad though because I tend to spend quite a bit on clothes in general.

    Negged? Nothing wrong with buying good quality, especially for a formal event :dontknow:

    Like over £100 on the dress and ticket so far... I have no idea what shoes etc to get. Too stressed about exams to worry about it yet. I'll be stressing about prom after the last exam though!

    So far £12.50 , I got my dress given by someone , I'm on the disadvantaged register so I get 90% off the prom ticket and I'm getting my hair done by a family friend.

    Just need to get my shoes and make up done now

    I hope you don't mind my asking, but are you at a state school and if so is the '90% off' funded by the school?
