Prom!

My Proms were great. Takes lots of pictures and remember every moment! :happy:

You'll have so much fun! I never went with a guy (just the girlfriends) but it was still a great time. Shopping for a dress is almost as fun as prom itself. I wish I could go again!

it is dinner and a dance- its the after parties that are trouble lol-

Have fun dress up take lots of pics hang out with your friends and be safe after the prom

Well, here's what happened at our prom... We got out hair done round noon, went to lunch with the hair done (fun!) then all got dressed and took pictures. Got in the limo round 5 I think? And got to prom around 6. We had to wait until they would let us in, but I talked to everyone and looked at peoples dresses... Then we sat at our tables and had dinner and dessert. They made some announcements, said who was king and queen, and then started the dance (which lasted like 3 hours). Tip: don't eat or drink too much or you won't be able to dance! The food might be great, but discipline yourself. Whatever you do eat though will be burned off dancing! Then we all went home (round 1am) and crashed.

Thats my experience in a nutshell! Hope it helps!

Kate, you are going to have so much fun! Remember every minute and take lots of pics! And post some here so we can all see!

Where is your prom being held? Where are you going for dinner? Are you renting a limo (do people still do that?) What's the theme/song? I know, too many questions! But I love proms :-)

I grew up in Northern CA (graduated in 1989 - yikes!) and ours was at the Officer's Club at a Navy Base. I had this total expectation of "Top Gun" or "An Officer and a Gentleman." It wasn't quite like that :-) But it was still beautiful and we had a great time. We couldn't wait to get to the parties! No matter what you do, have a wonderful time

My prom date my junior year was HORRIBLE! I liked him but we weren't a couple - we knew each other from church and just went as friends. Once there I found out he had a girlfriend when he told me, "My girlfriend isn't going to be happy that I'm going to this with you."

Then he said he'd had an accident on a quad and only danced 2 1/2 songs with me. Yes, in the middle of the third song, he just walked away mid-dance. I sat with him at the table most of the night, pissed. Finally I decided to not let him ruin my night and I went up and danced with my friends. When I came back to the table, he wasn't there. I looked around and saw him on the dance floor grinding with 2 girls he knew from his school.

After all of this, when he dropped me off, he leaned over to kiss me. I ignored him, turned away, and got out of the car.

At least my dress was beautiful.

Different proms are different. For ours, everybody met at the high school for our grand march where all of the couples were announced and come onstage for parents and everybody to take pictures. Then we caravaned to the hotel where we were locked in all night (until it was over at 5 or 6 am.) We had a buffet dinner then music for dancing the rest of the night.

Enjoy every minute of it!!! Take lots of pictures. That is the only thing that I regret about my prom was not having pictures.

Here is my prom story:
I asked this guy in my grade(we were seniors) that I had a little crush on. I basically didn't want to go to senior prom by myself! He agreed to go with me. We hung out one day to go and pick out his tux so that he matched my dress. It was a fun time and I enjoyed hanging out with him. The day of prom we meet up at a local church for pictures where he gently put his arm around me and smiled. We then all got in the limo and drove around for pics. We then arrived at the hall where we were served dinner, dessert, and then danced the night away on a dance floor that was way too small. Long story short he asked me out 2 days later. It has now been 4 years together and we are getting married next May.

So I hope that all of your dreams come true on Prom night.

Hi

I've been to a few proms....I think the best part is the day/weekend after
Here is Northern NJ we all rent a bus and hit the Jersey shore for the weekend

Funny story though..I was in the limo with my date and a few other couples,...I had an off the shoulder dress and my date was leaning against me and I rushed forward to grab something and heard a RIP...it was my dress...my shoulder piece ripped off and I was 'exposed'
Be careful

Have a blast!

You might want to check to see if your prom has dinner...the proms around here, you go and pay for your own dinner at a restauraunt... (sadly, I never want *long story, had my dress & everything!*:frown: )

I think that you'll have fun!

It's the same around here. Dinner on your own at a restaurant. The prom is a dance with a grand march held at school. One of the schools has done the grand march at school and then the dance at the a county club/golf course.
Another school does a really nice all night after prom party. Lot's of food and things to do. They get donations and give away tvs, ipods, bikes..... It's really well attended.
