For you with children I need your help. My son and his girl friend have prom this year. His GF don't like corsages. Have any of you used anything in place of a corsage??? I have found a bracelet but I don't want her to be the only girl there without a corsage or something! :confused: Any ideas?? Do you have any ideas?? |
Oh lord thats a tough one. I say the bracelet would be fine and if she doesn't like a corsage it probably won't make her feel out of place not having one. |
I don't like corsages. I didn't have one for either prom and a lot of girls didn't have one too. This was 6-7 years ago, one prom was in MD and the other was in NJ. If you're that concerned you could buy her a bracelet style one incase she changes her mind. They were like $20-30 when I looked at them. |
how about a small nosegay type of bouquet, this way she can hold in photos if she likes or she can just leave it at the table. You could have ribbons on it that match her dress. |

I got a bracelet style corsage for the girl my son walked in homecoming. That was what I was looking at when she said she didn't like corsages. So I don't know. |

Ahhhhhhhhhh! The Good Old Days!!!!!! Things were soooooooo much simplier then! We would have absolutely DIED before showing up at prom without a gorgeous corsage pinned to our chest! Is it flowers she has an aversion to? Maybe a pretty, small, dainty baby rose corsage like something that she can pin in her hair........? |

The only time it'll really matter is when you take pre prom group pictures. I think most of the girls ended up leaving the wrist corsages on the table. My aversion to them is I think they're ugly, itchy, awkward to wear, and over priced. |

Haha, don't stress! If she doesn't like them, don't get her one! :p |
I too was thinking small to pin in her hair of better yet, a necklace with a "flower" charm. Or if she has a charm bracelet one for that. |
How about one long stem rose or carnation she could use for pictures or carry if she wanted to. Even a silk one might be a nice memento. |
My vote is for your son! :p |
He could just take her a small, wrapped gift of a charm for her charm bracelet or a very simple necklace, earrings or something he knows she would like to have, like barrettes for her hair or whatever she seems keen on in the way of accessories. Any girl would love a thoughtful little gift to mark the occasion if she's not a corsage person. |
You all are giving me great ideas! I like the one flower for pictures and then I could find a necklace and bracelet. Then she's getting a gift she can keep and a flower too! Thank you!! |
Is your son paying for the limo and/or tickets? Is he serious about this girl? If he's paying and it isn't serious I don't think a gift is necessary. I wouldn't expect anything. |

My wedding has not been planned since I was 5 and the idea of spending more than $10 on flowers that will die in a week makes me :mad: I never viewed prom as a big deal, yeah it was fun to dress up and do something different but that's about it. My friends were the same way. I barely remember either prom and it's not something I talked about or thought about much. My male cousin is 2 years older than me, he went to both proms with girls he was very casual with. I can't remember if he (his mom) bought them corsages, I don't think he did, and I know he didn't get them any sort of gift. He did pay for the limo and tickets though. I'd guess her son is already spending over $500 on prom ($200-300 for the tickets, at least $200 for the limo, $150 for the tux). In a way it's cheaper for the girl, at least she has the option to do things cheaper if she wants. |
Yes my son is paying for everything. I thought the girls parents had it bad. Haha. But we have prom tickets, after prom tickets (our school does this to keep kids out of trouble so well worth it), tux, transportation, dinner before prom, pictures, etc. wow wow wow. I went with the bracelet and a single white rose with ribbon and bling. The bracelet is very nice so I do not feel bad about not getting a corsage. The single rose cost me $12!!!!! It's unreal the expense. Like I told my son, it is what it is. This is what I decided and I hope she likes it! |

PS The boy from my winter formal ended up being my first boyfriend. He did not go to the prom with me. I went with a girlfriend as she and I had planned to go together for over a year. We had the absolute best time! I didn't feel any of those dreaded prom night pressures. I know I was an awful girlfriend to that poor guy. I only dated him because my squad thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn't boy crazy like the rest of them. :( |

My dress had beading at the top and a lot of girls wore printed dresses with low necklines, like this http://media.merchantcircle.com/1939...4846_full.jpeg |
How about a "corsage" she can wear in her hair? Ask her first, of course. |
sounds like what you decided will work great and look pretty, now after all this you have to promise to post a bunch of pictures. I rarely miss not having kids but seeing them at prom time is one of the times I do miss it, so LOL I really love to look at friends kids prom pics, so please don't forget to post them |

I never got to go to my prom and my one wish was to have that experience with my daughter but nope she refused to go. Didn't get an invite but she could have gone with the other ones who were dateless. There is still my son who is 13 but it just not the same. :( |
