Pre-Prom Activities
Before prom even starts, there are a few things you can do to make sure you have the best night possible. First, you’ll want to find the perfect dress or suit. You can start by looking online, in stores, or even renting a dress. Once you have your outfit sorted out, you’ll need to get your hair and makeup done. You can either do this yourself or go to a salon. Lastly, you’ll need to pick out the perfect shoes to complete your look.
Get a group together
One of the best ways to make prom night even more memorable is by attending with a group of friends. Not only will you have more fun, but you’ll also be able to take group pictures that will last a lifetime. Getting a group together can be as simple as asking your closest friends or reaching out to people you don’t know as well but would like to get to know better. If you’re struggling to come up with ideas of who to invite, check out our list of the best people to go to prom with.
Choose a theme
If you want to make your prom unique, you and your friends should sit down and brainstorm a list of possible themes. Once you have a few ideas, do some research to see what kind of props and decorations you’ll need to bring your vision to life. You can also use a theme to help narrow down your choices for prom dresses, shoes, and accessories. If you need some inspiration, here are 75 creative prom themes to get you started.

Decide on transportation
Before prom, you and your date need to decide how you’re getting to the dance. If you’re going with a group of friends, you might want to rent a limo or party bus. If you’re planning on going solo or with just a few people, you might want to consider taking an Uber or Lyft. You also need to decide whether or not you want to drink alcohol at prom. If you do plan on drinking, make sure you have a designated driver.
Prom Activities
There are so many fun things to do at prom! You can dance the night away with your friends, take photos to capture the memories, or just have a good time. But what if you’re not sure what to do? This guide will help you figure out what to do at prom so you can have a great time.
Take pictures
If you want to remember your prom for years to come, take lots of pictures! Many high schools will have a designated photographer to take formal photos of you and your date, but don’t forget to snap some candids with your friends too. Find a spot at prom where there’s good lighting and a nice background, and make sure to get a picture of everyone in your group. And don’t forget to take some selfie stick pictures – those are always fun!
Eat dinner
Before you even think about what to do at prom, you need to have a plan for what you’re going to eat. Skipping dinner is a recipe for disaster – you’ll be so hungry by the time the dance rolls around that you won’t be able to enjoy yourself. Worse, you might end up making poor decisions just to satisfy your grumbling stomach.
So what should you eat? A light but filling meal is ideal, something that will give you energy without weighing you down. A salad with chicken or fish is a great option, as is a soup or stew. And of course, no meal is complete without dessert! Indulge in a small slice of cake or pie, or go for something healthier like fruit or yogurt.
Whatever you do, make sure you have a solid plan for dinner before prom night. It’ll make the night that much more enjoyable.
Dance
Dancing is one of the most popular things to do at prom. If you’re not a great dancer, don’t worry—just find a spot on the dance floor and let loose! If you’re feeling confident, ask your date or a group of friends to dance with you. Remember, everyone is there to have a good time so there’s no need to be shy.
One of the best things about prom is that it’s a chance to dress up in your best clothes and have a night that feels like something out of a fairytale. Whether you’re looking for an elegant ballgown or a fun and flirty dress, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to prom dresses. And don’t forget about your accessories! A beautiful pair of shoes, some sparkling jewelry, and a clutch or purse will complete your look.
Post-Prom Activities
After you’ve danced the night away and said your goodbyes, it’s time to thinks about what to do post-prom. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Go to an after-party
After-parties are a great way to keep the night going after prom. You can usually find out about after-parties through friends or by asking your date. If you don’t want to go to an after-party, there are plenty of other things you can do. Here are some ideas:
– Go out to eat with your friends or date
– Go to a movie theater
– Go bowling
– Have a bonfire
– Go stargazing
Hang out with friends
After the big night is over, it’s time to relax and enjoy your post-prom activities. Hanging out with friends is a great way to wind down after a night of dancing and celebrating. You can go to a restaurant or bar, play some video games, or just talk about your favorite moments from prom. Whatever you do, make sure you take some time to relax and enjoy your company.
Sleep!
Most people stay up way too late on prom night and then have to wake up early for school the next day. It’s not a great idea to pull an all-nighter and then try to function on little to no sleep, so it’s important to make sure you get some rest. If you can, try to get at least a few hours of sleep before you have to go to school.
If you’re not able to sleep, there are still some things you can do to relax and wind down from the night before. Take a hot bath or shower, read your favorite book, listen to soothing music, or do some light stretching or yoga. Whatever you do, just make sure you give yourself some time to relax before heading back into the chaos of the school day.
