Making Prom Memorable

Prom is coming, and while you work on finding your dress, suit, or tux and make other arrangements with your friends, we want to offer some suggestions that can make prom even more memorable in 2025. Consider adding a few of these to this year's plan!

Pre-Prom Activities

Themed Group Photoshoots
Coordinate outfits and props for a fun, themed photo session before heading to prom.
Maybe it's Hollywood glam, being characters from your favorite movies, or even fantasy themes from mythology or books.

Pre-Prom Dinner with friends
These are often a typical part of prom, but consider co-hosting a fancy dinner party at someone’s home or outdoor space, or book a unique venue like a rooftop or garden for a group meal. While you may be going with your "one and only," being surrounded by friends before the prom will create even more memories.
Arrive in Style
Renting a limo or classic car is a great move, but consider perhaps going in on a party bus so that more of you and your classmates can arrive with some flair. And if you can swing it, and the weather cooperates, you might even go with a quirky option like scooters, bikes, or decked-out golf carts. Not for the faint of heart, but certainly memorable.

During The Prom

DIY Photo Booth
You probably already know the member of your group who can make this happen. Can you picture him or her? Have fun props and a Polaroid camera handy so you can create a mini photo "booth." By the end of the evening, everyone will have a handful of personal keepsakes. 
Custom Song Requests
If possible, collaborate with the DJ or band booked for the night to add a few inside-joke songs or even special dedications for your group. If you can keep it a secret, it can make the best, and most memorable, surprise moment.

Memory Jar
Set up a memory jar for attendees to write and share funny or special moments from the night.
Flash Mob
Organize a surprise choreographed dance with a group of friends to wow the crowd.

Post-Prom Activities

Hold a Themed Afterparty
Plan a chill or lively afterparty based on a unique theme, like a ‘90s retro bash, Mardi Gras, or karaoke night.

Go Stargazing or Have a Beach Bonfire
If your location allows, end the night with a peaceful stargazing session or a fun (and safe) bonfire.
Create a Memory Gift
Create a collaborative scrapbook with ticket stubs, photos, and notes from friends. Hand out personalized bracelets, photo keychains, or mini Polaroids for everyone to remember the night.

​Edit a Video Montage
Have someone record candid moments throughout the night and edit them into a fun video to share with the group.
Organize a Charity Challenge
As a fundraiser, set up a contest for the best photo that captures the spirit of the evening. Attendees can bet on the best photos and the money can go to a cause that resonates with your group.

Don't just buy a gown, rent a tux, and go to prom. Make it an event to remember!
