Prom season is upon us. While high school juniors and seniors across the country are out buying dresses, renting tuxedos, and conjuring up new creative ways to make their night magical, Jason Strong from AT&T has some tech tips to help prom-goers make the most of the Big Night.
Mobile Apps:
-Plan'ItProm: As any teenager (or parent!) can attest, Prom Night is not just another high school dance. It's the culmination of high school life - and it sometimes comes with a lot of pressure to make everything perfect. That's where this app comes in. Plan'it Prom is a one-stop resource for prom-goers and parents alike. It allows users to determine - and help them stick to - a set budget for all expenses; includes a countdown to the Big Day; and offers social sharing options to compare your plans with your friends!
-ReserveTHEDress: In the weeks and months leading up to Prom Weekend, hundreds of teenagers from a contained geographic area have one overarching goal: Finding the #PerfectDress for the dance. But there are unavoidable similarities in personal taste and limited selections at the local mall. The app allows users to create a group and "reserve" the dress they're planning to wear to the dance. There's also a social element to the app - you can ask your friends or professional fashion experts for their feedback before you make your purchase!

The technology has changed over the years - but taking a lot of pictures is an age-old tradition of Prom Nights. Now that we all have professional-grade cameras in our pockets, we seem to photograph just about everything. But for Prom Night, why not make it special with some fun apps? * Dotti Disposable Camera: Remember disposable cameras? Back in the day, those brick-sized wind-up, blinding-flash devices were given to prom-goers as party favors! Nowadays, you can snap pictures retro-style by downloading the Disposable Camera app on your smartphone. It lets users snap 12 photos, and - if you want - will automatically mail the prints to your door within a week. * EverSnap: Curate your own digital photo album with all of your friends and classmates with EverSnap.
