For those of you with the responsibility and privilege of planning your school's prom, the time to think of awesome themes is upon you. To make your job easier, I have compiled a list of, what I feel, are the best prom themes available for 2008. I hope that you feel inspired!
- Club Prom - Make your prom into a night club ~ the main decorating element for this prom is the lighting - set the mood with low lighting, place lots of tea candles and find out about serving mocktails
- Italian Carnevale - Masquerades have been the height of celebration through the ages ~ use Italian influences including fountains, gondolas and arches to create a romantic landscape. Get festive by inviting guests to wear masks with their tuxes and dresses
Vegas Baby - Roll out the roulette wheel for high excitement ~ A casino theme is always super high energy and super fun. Hire underclassmen to be poker dealers and let guests win Prom Bucks to use during an auction of prize packs at the end of the night
- Miami Nights - Create a spicy, beachy night ~ using lots of white, bright pastels, or cool blue lighting, recreate the heat of Miami beach and the coolness of the South Beach party scene. For a splurge, bring in sand for a real beach feel or create elaborate sand castles
Hip-Hop, Don't Stop - Bring back the 80's ~ use bright neon colors, create backdrops of graffiti hearts and stars and put a little Grandmaster Flash on the ones and twos. Invite a group of students or local B-boys and girls to pop lock and break for entertainment
Or, think of old and new movies with great characters - romantic or popular songs that set the mood you're going for - seasons - exotic locations - different time periods through history - or do something that's unique to your school or town. Your prom theme won't make or break the party, it will just give you the direction you need as you're planning the food, decorations and supplies. Get creative and have fun - you can't go wrong!
