:D
So this month there's been a whole lot of prom happening. :) And i think of mine just a few weeks ago and i wonder how different is mine to someone else's prom.
How was your prom? Did you go with a date or with a group of friends?
What i do know is i have to start saving up. ;D LOL

I didn't go to either of my proms so I have no memories.

Yea, prom was a really expensive occasion. I had to spend money on the limo, the ticket, the dress, my hair, my nails, my makeup, and my shoes. Prom is kind of overrated but I went with a good guy friend, so it was fun with no pressure. So just have a fun time and don't go into it with high expectations.

My proms were pretty good. For my junior prom my date and I went in with another couple and got a limo and just drove around for about 4 hours afterward. Pretty uneventful with just driving around, but it was fun none the less. Then the next day us 4 went to Cedar Point amusement park and spent the day. My senior prom was just my date and I and then we went back to her house afterward and met up with some other friends and watched movies until she fell asleep...LOL Then the next day we went to the island of Put In Bay and spent the day out there. So basically, both of my proms were fun.
It seems like today though...things are a lot different when it comes to proms. I like the idea of having After Prom's for the kids to do so us parents don't have to worry about them drinking and getting in trouble.

I didn't go to prom. It wasn't a big deal to me, so luckily I'm not disappointed that I didn't.

I went with friends. It really wasn't that much of a big deal. We left, went and got ice cream then went to someone's house to watch James Bond movies. It was fun, but the whole prom thing was just dumb.
-
preparing for prom was pretty fun. looking for the right dress shoes hairstyle and whatnot. but as for going to my prom it was dissapointing it wasnt as great as i thought it would be. i tried to dance and have fun anyway make it worth spending for !
-
I didn't attend Prom or any of the "dances." Just not my thing. Had more fun hanging out with friends casually.
-
My little sister has prom next weekend... she is getting all the extra money from my work check smh.. but thats what big sisters are for.
-
i went with a group of friends. it was a little boring. when i found other friends there i had fun. i took a group pic and didn't take one by myself and i'm still mad about that

I went to prom in highschool 3 years. I went with my steady boyfriend, who is now my husband of 36 years.
Back then, we wore bridesmaids dresses and the guys wore their suits. They washed their cars, but no limos and tuxes or tanning sessions, manicures, hair salons, etc etc. I think we have one snapshot of us.
Tonight, we are attending an "Adult Prom" -- a Prom Revisited -- hosted by the Iowa Rock N Roll Music Association.
My granddaughters helped me choose which dress I should wear! They told me that I couldn't wear the dresses that I had worn in 1975 or one of the bridesmaids dresses that I had sewn for my sister for my wedding in 1976!!
So I get to wear a nice orange dress that our 2 youngest girls wore to their highschool proms in 2007 and 2009.
Rock n Roll!!

i have no prom memories because i didn't go. didn't want to spend all that money for an event that i really wasn't interested in in the first place.
-
My school was soooo small we didn't even have any to my knowledge... :-
-
Wow those are all interesting comments. Yeah, prom really didn't reach my expectaions.
But it was fun just getting to hang out with my friends.
Question, How much does it costs to rent a limo?
-
I didn't go to any freshmen-junior year, but went to three senior year :) Very fortunate to be able to do that...dated a girl from another school, so we went to each others, then went with a friend who had just moved and needed a good guy companion....hard to believe this was 5 years ago!!
-
i didnt go to any of my proms, but my son just went and i had no idea how expensive it would cost for tux rental, i was shocked. but very good memories for him and me ;D
-
I actually didn't go to my prom because my bf wasn't allowed to come because he was 21 to the time.
-
ahh Prom, Went with the love on my high school life :wave: but the thing a remeber the most was that we were having a heat wave and it was soooo hot, that the guys in their tuxs almosted melted
-
I'm actually going to prom next weekend ;D! It is so expensive for all the expenses! I had to pay for my tux rental, my ticket, her ticket, pictures, corsages, and rides. It is very frustrating but hopefully it will be all worth it. I'm pretty sure that I will have a lot of good memories from it. It is going to be at a really nice hotel :thumbsup:.

My high school prom was almost fifty years ago. Back then, girls wore big fancy evening gowns and many had them made by seamstresses. The guys wore rented tuxedoes and patent leather shoes. The guys always gave their dates a corsage, usually carnations or sometimes an orchid. The prom itself was in the high school gym which had been transformed by the decorating committee. My best prom memories are the preparations ahead of time. We stayed up all night stuffing Kleenex into chicken wire for the "ceiling and walls" of our dance floor.
