We can't promise that the following checklist is complete because some of you will want to add things that
others may not. Also, some of you may neither need, or want everything we list below. So what we've tried to
accomplish with this list, is to outline for you what is most likely, and most important, in your preparations for
prom night.
All you have to do is print the list, and mark in the price of things as you go. It's probably best if
you pin it on your wall next to the Prom Countdown Calendar and the Super List so you can refer to it easily.
Also, take a moment to read the Discussion page for the budget section because it gives you an analysis
of who pays for what prom night, and this might be important for you as you begin your prom preparations.

This final budget section is a little different from those above because you might not have to
worry about any of it. Traditionally it's the guy's responsibility to handle this (and I assume
you are a girl reading this-- if not, sorry!). Because it's traditional, most guys don't mind
taking care of it. However, sometimes it can get too expensive for just the guy, and that's
when you and your date might want to split some or all of it.
