The end-of-school period predicts hard times for the parents of the happy graduating students, as they will have to shell out some 400 euros for the senior prom alone. The cost of renting a prom dress ranges from 20 and 200 euros, and the sum will jump to 100-500 euros should the young lady solicit a new one. But that's not all. The hairstyle, the makeup and the manicure will require some 200 to 500 lei more, depending on the beauty parlor, the skill of the beauticians, and the difficulty level of the makeover. In the case of the boys, the expenses are somewhat lower. The most expensive thing to buy for a graduating young man would be a suit, which costs around 2,000 in the two-piece version. To rent the place where the ball will be held, the parents will have to pay 350 to 400 lei per person. For this money, you'll get in addition 12 cold and 2 hot dishes. The drinks, sweets and fruits will go to a separate check. Also, after 23:00, the waitstaff will ask some 200 lei in bonus money for their services. The music to be played during the dance portion is another item on the total check. Although there are no rules as to how much a performance would cost, you'll have to pay about 250 euros an hour for an esteemed musician to sing or play at your prom. A number of high-school principals have told Info-Prim Neo that the graduation ceremony will traditionally be held in the schoolyard or the ceremony hall of the institution. But the place of the ball will be decided by the graduates. Most often, they choose restaurants or nightclubs. Traditionally, the graduates will go to see the sunrise together the morning after the prom.
