Is a Corsage necessarey for homecoming?

1. YES! Especially if it's a formal dance and your first homecoming ever. You don't want her to be the only one without one... and if she's the only one with one you'll get major points. get white rose with ribon matching her dress... Unless she is wearing red or yellow or pink dress... then get the color of the dress.. have them put some spray sparkle stuff on it... they'll know. then some beautiful ribion. if worse comes to worse just ask her what she wants. and just give it to her when you show up at her house. It's ussually how it goes. you put it on her wrist then you spend the next half hour getting stabbed by her tryin to put on her first boutineer... :)

2. Guys giving corsages to girls for dances is pretty typical, and often expected, just as the reverse of the girl giving a guy a boutinere. Dances such as prom or other formals it is pretty much a necessity. For homecoming, it could be or it may not be seen as such a necessity. I gave my date a corsage at my homecoming, which was fairly formal and almost every girl who had a date had a corsage. At my school its a big thing to do. If your dance is not very formal it may not be such a big deal and you may be able to get away with not giving one. You might want to ask your girlfriend and see if she'd like one, or if you'd like to avoid that conversation ask some of your friends and see what they're doing. Keep in mind, also, that some girls prefer not to have corsages for whatever reason, which you can only find out by asking your girlfriend what she likes. However, if its ok and you're at all able to, go ahead give your girl a corsage. Its a nice gift that shows you care. If you do decide to get her a corsage, you'll want to make sure it matches her dress so you should talk to her about what she's wearing and use the colors to pick out a matching corsage. Roses are pretty typical flowers to be used, but they come in all varieties, sizes, prices, etc. Most florists have books to flip through and pick one that matches your taste and budget, you can get them fairly inexpensive and still look nice. If you talk to the florist they can help you choose if you're completely lost. As far as presenting it to her goes, normally guys bring it with them in the box the florist provides (to keep it fresh and protected) when they meet the girl before the dance. Then take it out, show it to her, and slip it over her wrist. Some girls like to make this a photo op with posing and smiling as you do it. My advice is, talk to your date, get her one if you can, and have fun!

3. It's necessary if you want to impress the parents. It's an old-school courtesy thing. Ask her what color her dress is to determine what kind of flower should be in it. Once you're in the house, give it to her when she greets you at the door. The parents will probably want to take a picture of the two of you before you leave, and she should be wearing it.
