It’s summertime, meaning students around the world are now leaving school and looking to their future. Before they step into this future, however, they are enjoying one last party with all of their friends, this party being their prom night.
Prom season is well and truly here, but that doesn’t mean your child’s upcoming prom is completely planned out just yet. There are always going to be some final touches that can be added to it to ensure that your son or daughter remembers the night forever, and it’s down to you, as the responsible adult, to add them.
Get the transport sorted
You can’t be sending your child off to their prom on the bus or in an Uber! You should be sending them off in one that they’ll always remember riding in, instead. Typically, this means hiring a vehicle of luxury, such as a limousine, but if you want to be a bit different with your transport choices, however, then you should know that there are a selection of other vehicles out there to choose from that’ll be just as memorable. If pinpointing the perfect one proves to be more of a difficult task than it’s worth, then base your decision on what your child actually likes. If he or she is a fan of the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise, for instance, then why not look into hiring one of the cool cars found in the movies? Or, if they have aspirations to join a force in their future, such as the fire department, then why not have a fire truck come and take them to their prom?
Set up an area for pre-prom photos
The pre-prom photo is every parent’s dream. It is their chance to take the set of photographs that they’ve dreamed of taking since they took their photograph on their very first day at school. To get the very best out of these photos, you should set up a nice area in which they can be taken. This could mean setting up a canopy and lights in your back garden; it could mean heading to a specific place, such as a botanical garden, to have photographs with the flowers; or it could mean getting in a set of props to bring an aspect of fun to the photos.
Organize a safe place for them to carry on their party
If the prom your child is attending is their senior edition, meaning it is the very last time they are going to see some of their school friends, then they’re not going to want to say goodbye too early in the night. Even after the formalities have finished, long after the remaining buffet food has been thrown out, your child and their friends are going to want to carry on the party. This is just a given, and denying them the opportunity to do so will benefit nobody.
What you can do, though, is make sure this continued party takes place in a safe, secure environment. Whether this means hosting it at your home or paying for another safe venue that’ll remain open later, facilitating the safe continuation of your child’s after party is best for all involved.
Teenagers aren’t always the best at remembering little details, even those that concern their prom night. It is for this reason why you should take it upon yourself to remember these details and to then add the finishing touches to your child’s prom.
