Are any of my kids going? No, lol
but I went to prom last year!
Those ticket prices do seem a bit high, as it was only $200/couple for me. Where are they planning on holding the prom? At the school? If so, then those prices are outrageous! My prom was at Union Station (in Kansas City) and the set up was beautiful. There was a huge dance floor, great dj, and they did not provide dinner either, but there were a ton of desserts.
I noticed that Cha Cha mentioned that the average junior or senior spends about $800 on prom, and I think that is probably true. There are so many things to consider. You have to pay for the tickets themselves, hair, makeup, and nails (which costs even more if you have it done professionally), the dress, shoes, dinner, pictures, and there are probably more things that I'm forgetting!
In some ways I think it is kind of a waste of money. All of this for a dance!? I had to save up for months! My mom really pushed me to go because she didn't go to hers, and she really regretted missing it. In the end, I think it was worth it because I had a wonderful time.
I will share some pics just because..

By the way, I really like the 3rd dress in your set of pics.
I think she looks beautiful!
