Ladies a few tips to help you with a few malfunctions that may occur at the prom.
-Broken Strap on your dress? Carry a brooch in your bag. Secure the broken strap with brooch. It will fix the problem and you have even created a neat look for your dress.
-New shoes? Bottom Slippery. Take a little sand paper and scuff the bottoms of the shoe. Will prevent slipping and you are ready to dance the night away.
-My zipper is stuck! Don't pull to hard. Do not want to break. Take a small bar of soap. Lightly run it over the zipper and you are ready for action.
-Carry Scotch Tape! Just in case a portion of your hemline opens the scotch tape will be a welcome relief for a quick fix.
-Shoes look great but are a little to big. A Dr.Scholls insole or some cotton balls stuffed in the front always do the trick!
-Carry some safety pins in your bag. Great for taking the place of a broken necklace clasp. Also great for mending the top of a broken zipper.
Have fun at the Prom!!

Calvin Klein Tuxedos Fall Short on the Web!
Calvin Klein Tuxedo's are awesome. That is if you can get them for this Wedding and Prom Season. Calvin Klein Tuxedo's are distributed by Flow Formal Alliance. There has been an issue with the distribution process and very few sizes are left in the vast variety of tuxedo's sold by Calvin Klein on the Web. What retailor's such as SmartTuxedo.com and TuxedoExpo.com have been doing is taking orders for Calvin Klein Tuxedo's and than calling the consumers to switch them into "like" quality tuxedos. Ralph Lauren is the "substitute" of choice for Calvin Klein. Ralph Lauren Tuxedo's are also distributed by Flow Formal Alliance and are excellent quality. It is dissappointing that the Calvin Klein Name is so well know, however their Tuxedo's cannot be obtained for this seaon. Maybe May Distribution? Who Knows?

Prom Costs
How much will the biggest evening in the young life of a High School Student Cost. In the Range of $400 to $3,000. Factor in Dress or Tux, Limousine, Prom Dinner, going out after prom and the expense is that great. Here's the Breakdown.
-$10 (Macomb High School in Illinois-Buffent) to $125 (Fountain Valley High School in Orange County California-appetizers and dessert)per couple depending on the area.
-$25 - $100 dollars for photography to capture the moments.
-$70-$250 to rent a tuxedo (we reccommmend buying).
-$150-$500 A Seventeen magazine poll found that 94% of girls plan to spend about $195 on a prom dress. Designer dresses can run $500 in New York, where girls begin shopping for the big event as soon as the school year starts, says Candace Kantor of RK Bridal Boutique.
-$15-$150 Hair and Accessories. Most Girls will have their hair styled or blown out for the evening.
-$25-$100 Grooming - Getting Nails Done, Teeth Whitened, Tanning, etc.
-$20-$30 Flowers - $20-$30 A minor but necessary expense for both sexes. Girls buy the boutonnieres, guys cover the corsages (Some girls also opt for fresh flowers for their hair).
-Limo $90-$1500 Not just your ordinary Limo. Stretch Hummers with TV's, Hardwood Floors, seating for up to 25 persons.
Have Fun at the Prom!

Guys-Tips for your Wedding Day!
Guys it's the day of your wedding. There is so much going on and you have so many pre-conceived notions about how the day will turn out. You promised yourself you would remember to do certain things (like dance with your new Mother-In-Law). Here is a very important tip: A few weeks before the wedding, start writing down your thoughts on the back of business size cards, wallet size. You will realize it was one of the best moves you've made. Examples of points to ponder:
-Have the band play Color my World by Chicago
-Take a Family Photo
-Make sure the photographer takes a full length photo of my grandparents
-Make sure to try the shrimp at the cocktail hour. I heard the cater serves awesome shrimps
-Personally introduce my new bride to my boss
Guys on your wedding day all you need to do is remember to look at the cards! It's that simple. It worked for me! -Aaron France TuxedoCoordinator@SmartTuxedo.com
