It's Time to Make Prom Plans

[+King Tux Rentals]

High school juniors and seniors typically don't have a lot of experience regarding making plans. Parents occasionally need to provide reminders so that everything isn't put off until the last minute.

 

With prom season just a little over a month away, high school juniors and seniors should be making decisions about the event. The girls should be looking for dresses now. The couple should be purchasing their prom tickets now and getting a group together for a limo, bus, or other transportation. During one prom week, we have on our calendar 10 local proms on the same weekend! That would place a great strain on some local vendors to provide services for everyone.

 

Within a few weeks, the group needs to make dinner reservations and the girls should have picked out their dresses. This will allow sufficient time for any alterations to be made, so that they can bring the dress (or a piece of the fabric) in to the tux shop if they want to color-coordinate. Using a cell phone picture (or any picture) of the color is a bad idea, since digitalized photos don't provide an accurate color sample. Some prefer to go with black-and-white, a traditional tux look, but if a color match is the goal, match fabric-to-fabric and bring the dress (or a piece of the fabric) to the tux shop.

 

Flowers, hair and nails (for the girl) - these are also reservations/orders that need to be made within the next month. There are a lot of things to be done and for busy parents and students - not a whole lot of time if the planning is being done on the weekends. It's best to get out in front, so that planning for this very special day is stress-free for everyone.

 

Regarding pricing - shop around, unless money isn't an issue for you. Don't accept an iffy answer about price, like "it depends". Also, be cautious of tux shops offering a dollar discount unless you know what the base price is! The major chain stores have found that they can have a base price of $220 dollars for a rental, offer a $40 discount, and charge $180 for a tux rental for a single event.

 

At King Tux Rentals, you can get a complete black tux rental (everything, including shoes) for $119.99. We'll even discount the price ten bucks if you pay in cash so that we don't have to pay the credit card fees! That's $109.99 plus tax for everything including your choice of vest and tie/bowtie color! Please note that a credit or debit card is necessary (as with all rentals)to use as security until the rental is returned.

 

Once the date has her dress selected and can bring a piece of the fabric in for color-matching (if they want to color-match) the prom students should come into King Tux Rentals to select a tux and to get measured. A day or two before prom, the young gentleman will come in to try on the outfit to make sure that everything is just right. We do on-the-spot alterations, so if something's not just right, we'll make it right before he leaves.

 

For students attending more than one prom, you may want to consider purchasing - especially if the senior student will be attending college, where there are many formal functions. A complete tux purchase of a previously rented tux is just $249.99 (excluding shoes). Shoe purchase is $57.99. You'll want to go ahead and make the purchase of the jacket and pants and then decide on the vest and tie/bowtie after the girl has decided on a dress (if they're color-matching). For students who already own a tux, rental of the accessories (everything but the jacket and pants) is just $44.99!

 

It all starts with a phone call. Just give us a call at (678) 401-4999 and we can assist you with your formal attire needs!
