[quote=Anonymous]Regardless of what other families spend, which might not fit your financial situation, I would simply tell your DD the total budget you are willing to contribute for the event (in addition to the dress, she may need to consider shoes, accessories, cost of ticket if applicable, and cost of any pre- or post- dance activities she intends to do). Once she knows what she can expect as a parental contribution, if she wants more she will know she needs to earn it before the dance. We gave our freshman DD a $200 budget for homecoming (not in the DC area - southern Virginia) but that included her ticket, both dress & shoes, and dinner out with her friends before the dance. She supplemented that with her own $.[/quote]
