4 Stylish Tricks to Impress Your Prom Date

/0 Comments/in , /by

Attending prom is a rite of passage for most teenagers. You will never forget this special night in your life that signifies the culmination of your high school experience. Here are four tricks that you can use to impress your prom date.

Plan a Promposal

It is becoming more common to plan a special “promposal” to ask that special person to be your date for the night. The promposal does not have to be an elaborate affair. The key is making it personal with special touches that show how much you care. This can be as simple as creating a poster that asks your special person to be your date.

Consider the Corsage

The first thing that you will present your date at the start of the night is a corsage. It is a good idea to ask your date about the color of her dress so that you choose a coordinating corsage. You can choose to go a traditional route with this flower arrangement, or you can go outside of the box and create an alternative option. Presenting the corsage is a great photo opportunity, so be sure to have a camera ready to get some great shots.

Get Creative With Dinner

While most people use the excuse of prom to head to a fancy dinner, you can let your creativity shine by choosing something more unique. If you have nice weather, you might consider packing a romantic picnic to take to the park. Or, choose a restaurant with a fun theme, such as a Japanese hibachi setting. Do not feel like you have to settle for the standard nice dinner out on the town to commemorate the occasion. You should also plan an activity for after the dance to make the evening complete.

Rent a Limo

Arrive in style to the big dance in a limousine. While a stretch limo is the gold standard when it comes to prom transportation, you could consider other car options to impress your friends if a limousine is unavailable. Other ideas to consider include renting a sports car, getting a group of friends together to reserve a party bus or taking a horse and carriage for a truly romantic vibe.

Make your prom night count by going the extra mile to elevate it from ordinary to extraordinary. By employing these four tips, you are sure to create memories with your friends that will last a lifetime.

Starting Preparations Now for the Best Prom Ever

/0 Comments/in , /by

A prom is an exciting event that you will remember for the rest of your life. Some planning will help to ensure that the evening will be as enjoyable as possible. You will want to make a list of all of the things you can address before that exciting evening arrives, so here are some things to consider.

Asking Your Date

Having a date for the prom makes the evening complete. Pick someone you know whose company you enjoy and who shares similar interests. If you like to dance, having a partner who is a good dancer will add magic to the evening. The earlier you ask someone to accompany you, the more available they will be to accept. Pick a one-on-one time to approach them when you’re both away from a crowd. Ask them if they have any interest in going to the prom as a lead-in. There are creative ways to ask someone to the prom if you are looking for ideas.

Planning the Drive

Young drivers can get excited going to this type of event, so having a focus on the road during the drive to the prom is needed. Many accidents are caused by distracted driving. To drive safe, make sure to turn your cell phone off as soon as you get in the car. Be sure to keep your eyes on the road at all times, and drive the route ahead of time to become familiar with the roads. This practice route includes going to pick up your date at their home. Decide if you are going out to dinner on the way to the dance, and, if so, include the eating destination in your practice route.

Reserving Your Tuxedo

You want to look your best on that special evening. A standard black tuxedo will be appropriate for the occasion, but you may want to dress a bit outside the box. Find out what color your date is wearing, and you can add accents to your outfit to match. Cummerbunds come in a variety of colors, so it is possible to color coordinate to add a bit of flair. Remember to reserve formal shoes to complete your overall look.

Your date will be impressed at your organized way of planning for the big night. Remember to dress to impress, bring flowers, wash and clean the car, make reservations for dinner and, above all, drive safe without distractions. Make this a magical event for you and your date. Don’t forget to take pictures!

Prom Tuxedos Rental Prices in Rochester, NY

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prom or ball is coming up and you need to find a tux, right? Generally, the earlier you book the more you save. If you book at the last minute, the regular price doesn’t go up but you may not get as big a discount or have as much selection as someone who books earlier.

In Rochester, you can expect to spend between $100 and $250 on a rental package from most area stores with the vast majority of rentals falling in the middle of that range. When shopping, be sure that the rental package includes the items you need. At Vittorio Menswear & Tuxedo our packages all include a jacket, pants, vest or cummerbund, shirt, tie and shoes. Some retailers advertise low teaser prices that don’t include things like shoes or a vest. When you include those items, their teaser/promotional price falls into this general range that we’ve talked about.

Alternatively, some places artificially inflate their prices so they can advertise with headlines like, “Save 50%” if you order before a certain date. We believe most people understand that if a product is permanently on sale for 50% off, that the inflated original price is one that nobody really pays anyway.

Choosing a tuxedo package in the upper end of the price range generally means that the tuxedo has nicer fabric, more exclusive designer labels and the fit and finish is generally closer to a purchased garment, rather than what people typically think of as a rented tuxedo. At the lower end of the range, there are still a variety of styles and options available but more popular requests like slim-fit tuxedos or well known brand names are less likely to be found at those price points.

Depending on the event you are attending, there may be promotional or group pricing in effect that has been arranged by the school sponsoring the dance. It always pays to ask if they have arranged for preferred pricing for their guests. If they haven’t yet, we’d be happy to discuss how this works — just put us in touch with the faculty adviser working with the prom committee and we’ll take it from there!

We hope you have a good time at your event and we’d be honored to help select a tuxedo or suit that helps you look the way you want to, while staying in your budget.

Renting a tuxedo for a formal occasion like a wedding, prom or gala doesn’t have to break the bank.  When you compare the rental cost versus purchasing a tuxedo (and accessories) as well as the cost of tailoring before your event and dry cleaning or professional laundering afterwards, renting becomes the clear low-cost leader.
