To make this more fun, you can get an extra entry for sharing your best (or worst) prom memory with us. If you haven't been to a prom yet, you can just tell us what part you look forward to.
I'll start with my worst memory (ha!). Going to my junior prom with my then-boyfriend, I tried to save my friend from a crisis situation in the bathroom, only to come back and discover said boyfriend ...dirty dancing... with my worse enemy. I had a slight panic attack and tried to resist puking on my pretty dress for the rest of the night. My senior year I took a friend, NOT a boyfriend. Learned my lesson.
Your turn!
My favorite prom moment is just dancing the night away and having fun with all my friends!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest! my fave prom moment is the super fun dinner with friends before hand. thank you!
ReplyDeleteI did not go to prom, but I went to a theatre production starring a friend. And I took my Grandma.
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by prom, though.
My favorite Prom moment was when I forgot my shoes in the limo and had to be barefoot till they came back with my shoes.
ReplyDeleteThanks 4 the giveaway!

My favorite prom memory is probably when me and my group of friends first got to prom. Not many people were there, but there was still music playing so we were dancing our butts off. One of my friends slipped and fell, then brought the rest of us with her, so we all fell down. We took one look at one another and burst out laughing! It still makes me smile :)

My worst prom memory is from my Junior Prom. A girl from a different school showed up in the exact same dress as me. Same color and everything. On the bright side, her date was in a black tux and mine was in a white. (The white went 10x better...not that I'm biased or anything...)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
My fave prom memory was when a few friends and i left early and went to get ice cream and went back w/o people really noticing:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite prom memory was buying the beautiful dress. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFor my junior prom, the DJs that were hired played only rap music. The entire night. Hours of it. So, basically, unless you brought a date to grind with you were out of luck. My friends and I instead chatted together the whole night. The mashed potatoes (we were served dinner) were delicious though, and hopefully the music will be better this year!
ReplyDeleteI can't share any memories, because I never went to prom since there's no such thing in Norway where I grew up and went to school..:)
ReplyDeleteMy fav prom memory was ditching the party and heading to a nearby karaoke bar where we spent the night with my friends. we went stag so it was like a girls night out. ;P
ReplyDeleteI had a great prom, the favorite part was just hanging out with all my friends. It wasn't about the boys or anything like that, just our whole group having a good time.
ReplyDeleteMines when punch was split on me by a girl who wasn't sober at the time. I couldn't be really mad because she made a big spectical of herself and it was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory about prom was not caring about anything and dancing ALL night with my best friends. We didn't go with dates (because we were all on the planning committee) and had a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteI never made it to prom. Thank you for this generous giveaway chance!

ReplyDeleteMy proms were great. I went to them with my now hubby!
ReplyDeleteI never got to go to a prom or any dance in school. So I just have to read and live vicariously through books. :)
