Graduation is coming soon - it's time to start preparing. Graduation is one of the brightest events at school, so you need to prepare for it responsibly.Start preparing a few months in advance - this will make it easier for you to find an outfit, negotiate with people and figure out what you will do before and after the presentation of certificates. The to-do list is very long, but the preparation process doesn't have to be boring. Remember that the time and effort invested in preparation will definitely pay off.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to think about your look

1 Start with the dress. Finding a dress is one of the most enjoyable, but also the most difficult stages of preparation. There are a lot of dresses, so it's best to start looking for an outfit a few months in advance so that you have time to find the perfect one. Check out examples of fashionable dresses in magazines and look for a dress that suits your style, whatever it is. The dress can be anything: classic, vintage, fashionable. The most important thing is how you will feel in this dress.
- Search for a dress online. Order it in advance so you can fit it in if you need it.
- If you like vintage, look at thrift stores for the dress. There you can find very interesting options.
- If you want to go to prom in a designer dress but are short on money, borrow the dress from a rental shop.
2 Buy underwear that will not be visible under the dress. Do not draw unwanted attention to protruding bra straps or panty seams. Buy special discreet underwear.
- Buy a bra that will be comfortable for you and will not stick out from under the dress. If the dress has an open back or no shoulder straps, look for a bra with special clasps.
- Buy seamless nude underwear.
- If the dress is translucent, you will need to pry something under it.
3 Pick up jewelry and accessories. Once you've bought a dress, start looking for accessories to complement your look. Look for accessories that enhance the beauty of the dress without distracting attention from it.
- Vintage and costume jewelry stores offer interesting items at a fraction of the cost.
- If you cannot find anything suitable and are not afraid of difficulties, try to make the beads yourself.
- Don't forget to pick up your purse or clutch! It should be large enough to hold your makeup, phone, and keys.
- If the weather is cold, you should bring your outerwear with you.
4 Pick up your shoes. Shoes must match the dress, but their color may differ from the dress. You can buy white shoes and dye them the color you want, or opt for shoes in a neutral shade. Beige and black shoes will look good with almost any dress. Take your dress to the store and try on the shoes with it.
- Break out your shoes before prom. Wear new shoes at home and outdoors so that the soles are lightly rubbed in. It will be more comfortable for you to walk in worn-out shoes, and you will not slip.
- Prepare flat shoes as well. If you rarely wear high heels, bring neutral ballerinas with you to change when you're tired.
5 Think about your hairstyle. Many girls sign up for a salon, but many do their own hair. There are many tutorials on the internet to help you get your hair done. For graduation, the following options are suitable:
- light romantic waves;
- updo;
- classic chignon.
6 Practice doing makeup. Watch the tutorial videos to see which makeup will suit your dress. Some people like glitter and bright colors, while others prefer more discreet looks. Try different makeup styles to see what you like best and what will suit your look.
- Smokey ice is a classic option that is always appropriate.
- Red lipstick will draw attention to you.
- Try contouring.
- Choose the color of your nail polish.
7 Sign up for a salon if needed. If you want to have your hair, makeup and manicure done in the salon, make an appointment at least a month in advance.So you don't have to look for a salon where you can be received at the last moment. As a rule, during the season, all the time in the salons is scheduled.
- Get your nails done 1-2 days before graduation.
- Hair and makeup should be done on the morning of the event.

Method 2 of 3: How to Organize Movements

1 Decide who you want to chat with. Sometimes young people go to prom in pairs, but more often the whole class gets together. You can split up into small groups to make it easier to book a table at the cafe (but if someone decides to join later, it will be difficult to find another place). Once you've decided who you are going with and where, you can start planning.
- Create a general chat in any messenger and include all participants there. This way you can discuss where you will meet and where you will celebrate your graduation.
- Decide if you need a photographer. Who will be in the pictures? Where will you be photographed? Do you need the services of a professional photographer? Discuss this among yourselves.
2 Prepare everything in advance. If you want to attend an event after graduation, buy tickets in advance.
3 Decide which one you will ride. You can take a taxi, take public transport, or ask someone to give you a lift. Think it over a few weeks before the event to save yourself some unnecessary worries.
- It is possible to rent a limousine, but first you need to find out how much it will cost. Make an agreement with the rental company and choose a place where you all meet.
4 Decide where you will dine. Usually, after the ceremonial part, graduates go to a restaurant or cafe. You can choose an expensive place or a simple cafe, where the bill will not be large. Book your tables a few weeks in advance.
- If anyone decides to join you later, call the cafe and let them know.
- You don't have to go to a cafe. You can celebrate your graduation home with a small company.
5 Decide what you will do after graduation. The post-event party is perhaps the most fun part of the prom. There are many options - it all depends on the number of people and your budget. Talk to your class and decide where you go when you get tired of dancing.
- You can rent a hotel room near where you will be celebrating your graduation.
- If the hotel is expensive, you can gather at someone's home.
- If you are more interested in something calm, you can stay with your closest friends at home and discuss what happened at the prom.
6 Check your plans with your parents. Tell them what you plan to do a few weeks before graduation. Your parents are also thinking about your graduation, and their help will allow you to plan everything flawlessly. In addition, if you plan to return home late or spend the night with friends, you will need to warn them about this and ask how they feel about it.
- If your parents don't like your plan, try to involve them a little more in the process. Ask them to take a picture of you or consult with them when choosing a cafe. The more they are involved in the preparation process, the more likely they are to allow you to spend the evening the way you want.
- If your parents don't know the people you will be spending time with at prom, introduce everyone in advance to help your parents feel better.
7 Consider pinning fresh flowers to your outfit. If you are a guy, you can order a boutonniere. A girl can weave flowers into her hair. Order flowers to be delivered on the morning of graduation. So the flowers will not have time to wither.

Method 3 of 3: Prepare last before graduation

1 Try on your dress and accessories a few weeks before the event. A couple of weeks before graduation, you can change something in your outfit or replace it, fit the dress to your figure, or choose different shoes. Don't wait until the last moment. In the last week, you will already have a lot of worries!
2 Confirm all entries and reservations. You don't want to do this, but you should still do it.A week or two weeks before graduation, call wherever you signed up and booked and confirm your plans. Make sure you sign up for the correct days and times.
3 Fold up the items you need to take with you. In order not to forget anything, it is important to pack your things in advance. Put in your bag what you need for and after the event. If you will be spending the night away from home, bring another bag with everything you need.
- Place your lipstick, small bottle of perfume, small tube of moisturizer, hairspray, hairpins, phone charger, keys, and wallet in your bag.
- In an overnight bag, place your sleepwear, beauty and hygiene products, a hanger and dress bag, and a change of clothes.
4 Start preparing yourself for graduation the day before the event. You should look and feel good at prom, so it's important to take care of yourself ahead of time. So that your stomach does not swell up and that you do not feel bad:
- drink more water;
- eat fruits and vegetables;
- sleep well;
- exercise for at least half an hour.
- Get a manicure or go to the salon.
5 Get up early and take a shower or bath on graduation day. You should have enough time to cleanse your skin, shave off excess hair, and apply moisturizers. Get up a few hours before your first recording so you don't have to get ready in a hurry.
- Scrub your skin with a scrub or loofah to keep it soft and smooth. Remember to rub your shoulders, arms, and back.
- Shave any hairs from your skin if you do this normally.
- Moisturize your skin with a nourishing cream to keep it soft all day.
- Rub the pumice stone on your feet to make them smooth.
- Apply a face mask to freshen up your skin.
- Cover your nails with another clear coat of base to keep the polish from peeling off.
6 Go wherever you signed up. If you plan to get your makeup and hair done at the salon, go to the salon in casual clothes and no jewelry. Wear clothes that are easy to remove without hurting your hair. Take with you a photo of what you need so as not to be disappointed with the result. If you ordered fresh flowers, take them away.
7 Finish packing early. Some people enjoy getting together with friends, others prefer to do it alone. It's time to put on your dress! Put on your outfit and accessories and take a close look in the mirror before leaving.
- Ask a friend to look at you from behind to make sure everything is fine with the hair and that there are no threads sticking out of the dress.
- Check to see if you have put everything in your bag.
- Check if your phone is charged.
8 Have fun! It's time to relax and enjoy the event. Even if something went wrong, don't be nervous. If the limousine is late, the hair is slightly disheveled, or the flowers do not fit the dress, there is nothing to worry about. It's important to enjoy life, so don't think about the little things and enjoy the moment.

Tips

Even if you don't have a couple, going to prom is still worth going to. You can have a great time with your classmates! During slow dancing, you can find yourself a partner, even if you are friends with him. Don't let anything ruin this evening, because it will remain in your memory forever.
If there are a lot of you, it is better to rent a minibus as it can accommodate more people.
Have a spa with your friends the week before the event. You can get a manicure and pamper yourself together.
If you want your skin to look tanned, use a self-tanner. Research has shown that tanning in tanning beds can cause cancer.
Graduation is not a reason to show off the most beautiful outfit, but a fun event where everyone should feel good. Memories of graduation will stay with you for a long time.
Don't spend a lot of money on graduation. Set aside a certain amount of money and stay within budget.
You can study fashion trends to find the actual dress, but you don't have to.Choose what you will feel like a queen: a silk outfit, a dress with a fluffy skirt, a plain jumpsuit. This is your evening!
