Prom night is a special occasion for high school students. Many schools attempt to make the night even more special by allowing students to choose a theme for prom night. Below are some of the more popular prom themes that have made students’ prom nights more memorable in the past.
* Casino night: Nights at the casino conjure up images of black-tie affairs, making a casino theme perfect for prom night, which is already a night marked by stylish tuxedos and lavish gowns. Kids can each be given chips or fake money when checking in at the door, and then use their stacks to play popular games like blackjack, roulette or dice.
* City lights: Decking a banquet hall of school gymnasium out in the decor of a famous city is another way to add some flavor to prom. Whether it’s the city lights of Paris, the skyscrapers of New York City or the festive atmosphere of New Orleans, turning prom night into an homage to a beloved city can make the night more memorable for students and chaperones alike. When opting for a city theme, prom planners can go the extra mile by serving the cuisine specific to the city they ultimately choose.
* Luau: Add a touch of island life to prom night by giving the night a luau theme. In lieu of costly tuxedoes and gowns, encourage students to attend in Hawaiian shirts, shorts, grass skirts, and beach attire. If possible, host prom at a seaside location to add to the theme of the night. If that’s not possible, serve dinner outside, letting students decide if they want a pig roast or more traditional barbecue fare.
* Old Hollywood: An “Old Hollywood” theme is another perfect match for prom night. Old Hollywood is synonymous with glitz and glamour, and kids can enjoy true star treatment on prom night. Turn the entryway into the red carpet, snapping photos of students and their dates as they arrive. Deck the hall or gymnasium with posters and settings of some of Hollywood’s most famous films and hire a band to play famous songs from the movies of yesteryear.
