Tips to Avoid "Promma Drama"

Some things to know...

Many former prom goers have shared the following information to you to be sure that your prom experience is "Pramma" free.

Can I go to the Prom if I'm a Freshman?

This event is for seniors and Juniors. Sophomores may go ONLY if invited by an upperclassman

Do I have to go to prom with a date?

Prom is everyone's party! You absolutely can go with a group of friends and have a blast getting dressed up, going out for dinner, dancing, getting photos from the photo booth and then goin on rides. Many people say this is "prom without any stress".

Is it better to go with a huge group or a smaller group?

Many students find that going with a large group creates more "promma" than it is worth for a few reasons:

Multiple personalities creating plans can lead to disagreements.
Finding transportation to accommodate 50 plus people is expensive and requires a financial commitment from everyone.
Finding restaurants that can accommodate a group that large, requires arrangements made in advance. (Be sure to confirm reservations)

Former prom goers say the perfect size group is between 8-10 people for all of these reasons.

People are comfortable in the group
they know everyone
the group can be easily accommodated.

Black Tie Etiquette Guide

According to Emily Post...

"Etiquette just isn't about memorizing a bunch of do's and don'ts; its true purpose is to build relationships. This goal is at the heart of why we display good manners and civility in our daily lives, and why we show considerations, respect, and honesty."

Follow these simple rules and you will be doing your part to create a successful prom for you and your group.

While a cell phone is a useful tool, Prom is a time to devote your attention to your date or the friends you are with. It would be very tacky to be texting or talking on the phone at this event. ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES AT THE TABLE!
Don't be late for photos, Grand March or dinner. This could throw the entire night off for your group. You have to make sure you are on time for everyone's sake.
Follow through on your financial obligations. People make decisions based on the facts. If everyone has agreed to pitch in a dollar amount so that you can rent a limo or party bus, everyone is expecting your portion to be paid. If you bail on your portion, everyone else has to cover your part of the expense. This is a great way to strain relationships.
Leave the drama behind! It's a big night and everyone has invested a lot of time and money to preparing for it. This is NOT the night to get into a big fight. It is an event that will always be remembered. Keep is classy, fun and light hearted!
Do not leave your date to be with your friends all night. Do not break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend on prom night or before prom week.
