Who says prom has to end after the formal event is over? Prom after parties are growing in popularity. If you are part of your prom planning committee or just want to get a group of friends together to celebrate the end of your high school career, we’ve got a few ideas on what you can do make it fun and tips to make it safe.
Let’s get one thing out of the way – no drinking! I know that isn’t what you want to hear, but seriously – no booze. Besides the obvious reason – you aren’t of legal drinking age and it’s just uncool, there have been tons of instances where school administration found out about after prom booze parties and decided to cancel the prom all together. Drinking just isn’t worth the risk to your life, safety or the respect of your family and friends. There is a ton of different ways that you can have fun after the prom without alcohol.
After prom pool party: If your live in a warm area or your prom is held during the warmer months, an after prom pool party bbq is the perfect idea. You can have the party the next day, invite people over to swap digital pictures, and just enjoy the day in the sun.
After prom beach party: If a pool isn’t available – head to the shore (if you live close to one of course). Organize the event with friends and designate certain people to bring food, games, and music. Make sure you check the rules and regulations of the shore. Generally speaking, beaches are public places – however some shores have private/member only areas. So what may seem like a great spot to set up your party may actually be private.
After prom backyard BBQ party: If the pool party and beach party aren’t options for you – that doesn’t mean that you can’t have an awesome time in your own backyard! Check with your parents for permission to have a backyard BBQ . You can coordinate the party with other friends to split the cost of food, or you can supply the food and ask for a small “donation” fee to help cover the costs.
After prom skate / bowling party: So you’ve nixed all of the outdoors ideas – a skate night or cosmic bowling night may be a great alternative! Check out your local skating rink and bowling alleys. Many hold “cosmic” events where they stay open past midnight and it’s more of a party atmosphere.
Clearly there are an endless number of ideas for your prom after party. Just remember to keep it safe, and the fun will come naturally!
