1.) Buy flowers at the supermarket. This sounds weird, but the flowers will look just as nice and nobody will know where they came from. You’ll save half or more going this route.

2.) Skip the photos. Prom photographers are notoriously expensive and the photos always have a dated, cheesy appearance. Hire your own photographer or ask mom to snap some pictures before you leave to save memories and your cash.

3.) Buy your dress online. Try on gowns at the mall to figure out what you like, then head online to check out our huge selection of prom dresses and score your dream dress for less. With free shipping on qualifying orders, you’ll save even more. Pair your dress with some killer heels and you can’t lose.

4.) Visit a beauty school for hair and makeup. You’ll save at least half on your beauty budget and look just as good. No beauty school nearby? Try a tech school in a neighboring town instead.

5.) Skip the limo. Take the big yellow limo from the school or carpool in mom’s mini. Nobody is going to notice how you arrive. You can save hundreds by skipping the limo.

Prom is notoriously expensive. From the dress to the hair to the limo, it can be overwhelming to teens (and their parents). Fortunately, you can still have a night to remember without breaking the bank. Check out these 5 ways to save money on prom to have a great night on a budget.
