I found this article online and i think everybody should read it. It has 12 ways to help keep your love one safe on prom night. Prom is a special night for high school students to celebrate the end of the school year. Students all over the country spend hundreds of dollars − from corsage to tuxedo − to make the evening a special one. Statics show that Car accidents resulting in teenage deaths are the highest during prom weekends, depending on the location, these are the months of March, April and May. "However, accidents can happen any time students are distracted, even for just a few seconds, or because they are wearing clothing that doesn't allow them to move freely. Prom season is a good time to revisit a few easy-to-follow tips to keep this special night safe and accident free"12 Tips for Driving on Prom Night Every Parent and Teen Should Read

For teens:
*Always wear your seat belt and make sure everyone in the car does, too.

* Concentrate and drive defensively. There are likely to be a lot of distracted drivers on the road on prom night.

* Have directions to the dance − even drive by the location during daylight hours − if the prom is not held at your school, so you know where you're going.

* Understand that the average vehicle weighs 3,000 pounds. It may be easy to drive, but it's still a heavy hunk of metal.

* Never allow someone who has been drinking to drive, no matter how confident the driver is about his abilities. It's not worth the risk.

* Remember that tired drivers are dangerous, too. If you're barely awake, you shouldn't be behind the wheel.

* Call home to get a ride. No matter what time it is, parents would rather pick you up than have you drive in a dangerous situation.

* Take your cell phone to prom so you have one in case of emergency.

* Take a spare pair of comfortable shoes with you for driving so you don't have to hit the brakes while wearing unfamiliar high heels or bulky dress shoes.

And for parents:

* Make sure you know where your child is going to be during the dance and at the after-prom parties.

* Don't allow too many prom-goers into one vehicle. (More passengers means more distractions.)

* Consider a limo or an adult driver to chauffeur students − someone who has more experience driving at night and someone who is not hopped up on prom-night adrenaline.

The time is finally here, it’s your chance to finally ask that dreamy boy/girl you’ve been staring at all school year long. Whatever the occasion might be the preference dance, homecoming or, prom. Here is a great way to ask your date to the dance.
Supply’s needed for the project: washable marker, permanent marker, a light colored t-shirt that will fit your date and a piece of paper.

Step 2: Turn the shirt over, and write your name in PERMANENT marker.

Step 3: Grab your WASHABLE marker and write different names all over the front and back of the t-shirt.

Step 4: Safety pin a note to the tag on the tee, which states the directions, “Too find out which one of us asking you to this special dance, throw this t in the washer and give it a quick rinse. When your wash is finish, you’ll be able to which one of us is asking you.”

What Should i Order for Prom Dinner?

It's prom night, you're at dinner, what should you order? When it coming to ordering dinner at prom, there may be many questions running through your head. " What should i order? should i order the cheapest thing on the menu? should i tell the waiter to hold the onions? should i ask for a bib?" It would be pretty sad if you ended up wearing your meal instead of eating it on this exciting night. When it comes time to pick out your dinner, don't ever feel intimidated to get what you want. If you're afraid you might end up picking out the most expensive thing on the menu, ask your date what he's going to order. Therefore, this will give you a idea on what price range should stay in. Never order the most expensive thing on the menu, try to stay within a few buck of what your date is ordering.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when your choosing your prom meal.

*Choose a meal that doesn't require you to pick it up with your hands. Go with grill chicken, salmon or a fillet of beef. Any meal that requires you to use a fork and knife is usually a safe bet.

*Try to avoid saucy dishes. Anything with a lot of dressing like a salad or pasta, is actually a "dress mess" on a plate.

*Watch out for those deadly ingredients. Onion and garlic have a tricky way to stay with you all night. Be considerate of your date, make should you bring either gum, mints, or a toothbrush. Fresh breath is always the best breath!!! Especially for prom.

*If you order dessert for prom, try to stay away from all the delicious gooey toppings, ice creams, and shakes. Try to choose something with minimal dripping like cheesecake or a creme brulee. Save all those amazing gooey dessert for the after prom celebration.

*Don't forget the bib. Always ask your waiter for extra napkins, so you can cover your lab, it's not worth the risk of dripping on that beautiful dress. Try to avoid tucking your napkin into the front of your dress, this isn't a cute look for prom. It is also a great idea to carry either a tide to-go pen or shout wipes, just in case you slip.

"7 Basic Steps to Chose a Prom Theme"

One of the first steps in planning a prom is choosing a theme. Choosing a prom can be mounds of fun. Themes can range from Mardi Gras to the Grecian Gardens and anywhere in between. Prom themes can be very simple or complex. So let’s get started! You’re only 7 basic steps away from the perfect prom theme.

Step 1-Choose a Prom Theme
If it’s your first time dealing with themes, always choose a simple and easy theme to execute, do not feel like you have to choose a theme that is difficult. Brainstorm with your prom committee to come up with ideas.

Step 2-Draft Design Plan for Prom Theme
Once you and your committee has determined a theme. Then, have your prom decoration committee go measure the area where the prom is going to be held. If it is in a banquet hall, you may request a floor plan along with the room dimensions. This will help you determine how much money you should put aside for decorates. After you come up with the budget, have your prom committee start thinking of ways to decorate for prom within the budget plan.

Step 3- Find Local Merchants for Prom Theme
Research your local neighborhood for merchants that are willing to donate items for prom. You’ll be surprise; many of your local neighborhood stores are willing to help out in someway or another. Some merchants will let you borrow items or give you a big discount, if you do some free advertising for their business at your school sports events.

Step 4- Get Ready to Build your Prom Theme
If the items are ready to be built, schedule a date for volunteers and prom committee members to meet up and start working on the prom decorations, either in the school cafeteria or at somebody's house.

Step 5- Include Food in your Prom Theme
Everybody loves food, especially after hours of dancing. You should have the catering sub-committee research foods that can be incorporated in your theme. For example, using a Mardi Gras theme, you could create a non-alcohol margarita bar.

Step 6- Fantastic Favors can add to your Prom Theme
At many schools around the world, you will receive a traditional prom favor such as champagne glass. Usually with a logo on the glass, including: the prom theme and date painted on the glass. In addition you should include a themed favor such as a Mardi Gras mask to complement the Mardi Gras theme.

Step 7- Get Help with your Prom Theme
Don’t be afraid to ask for help, implementing a prom theme can present many challenges that some of your prom committee member's, coordinator and staff can find very overwhelming and time consuming. If you and your prom committee are running out of time trying making your theme come alive, hire an event planner.

If you think an event planner is out of your budget? Think of some ways to cut back, so you can afford an event planner. For example, buy your food and decorations in bulk or wholesale store; this will help save a little extra money. And keep in mind, you could always raise the price of the prom tickets by a couple bucks, this will cover the expense of an event planner. With the expertise of a professional event planner, your prom theme will be able to be execute and create a memorable experience for all that attend prom.

How to Ask That Special Somebody....With a Pizza...

If you and the girl go out to eat, make a date at a local pizzeria and make arrangements to have the pizza decorated with pepperoni slices or olives that spell out the word, “Prom?” Or you can have a pizza delivered to her house spelling out the word “Prom?” with her favorite toppings; this adds a personal touch to it. Then some where on the box write your name on it, so she has to search a little bit to figure out who’s asking her.
