Should we go out to dinner before prom?
If you want to have dinner before prom or after prom, it is up to you. You kind of set the bar of where you want it to be. And you set the bar for money, and you set the bar on the pace, and you set the plan. If you want to have dinner, have dinner. If you do not want to spend money on dinner, do not. If you want to do it at home, do it at home. There is no rhyme or reason. Do whatever is comfortable for you budget wise, and friend wise. Just go with the flow.
