Prom is the opportunity for everyone to dress up and go out on the town. Of course, you'll need some classy pumps or strappy sandals to go with that fancy dress. Here we have a few suggestions taken from our top brands and designer styles.
Prom Night Parties – Parents Get Involved
Prom night has traditionally been a night for students to let
down their hair and celebrate the approaching graduation. Often, the
junior class plans the prom as a send-off for their upper classmates
and the junior class students are invited to participate in the prom
festivities. The event usually includes a formal dance in which
students are dressed to the hilt – the result of weeks or even months
of shopping and planning. And prom night often culminates in a series
of parties, sometimes including alcohol and sometimes ending with
disaster.
Few parents send their children off to prom without concern about their
safe return. Statistically, more young men and women do attend prom and
after-prom parties safely than those who have accidents. But also
statistically, the young people who are “letting their hair down” and
celebrating their passage into adulthood are more likely to be in a
situation that ends in disaster than at any other time of their young
lives.
In some places, parents are taking a proactive stance with regard to
the prom. Though parents realize this rite of passage, they are also
aware of the potential danger. Instead of hoping that children find
safe activities for prom night, parents are creating some activities.
For example, groups of parents sometimes find a local building that can
be rented or borrowed for the entire night and organize an after-prom
party. Municipal buildings, community rooms and even colleges sometimes
have space that can be used free of charge. Especially with a building
that already has several rooms and quite a lot of space, the building
can be an attractive alternative for prom attendees. Dimmed lights,
couches and chairs arranged for comfortable talks, tons of body pillows
for relaxing in front of a television set with a variety of movies and
plenty of music are among the options offered at some of these events.
Adult supervision is at a minimum, but ensures that student abide by
the no-alcohol rule. Finishing off prom night safely, while still
having fun, was certainly worth the effort for parents. Having a fun
and safe place to gather was certainly a great memory for
students.
