I went to Snoball junior and senior years, then 3 proms because my high school boyfriend went to another school. The actual dance part of it always sucked because of the city ordinance which meant it had to shut down by 11:30 to allow travel time to get us minors home before midnight.

High school anything is such a dramafest though. I'm not kidding about people breaking up every single time. I had a friend who broke it off with her boyfriend at the very end of the night at 3 separate dances. One she just didn't care for anymore but was too guilty to break up with him beforehand, another was a drunk 20 year old asshole, and the last one broke up with her! (Karma?)

Another time, a guy in our group brought a sophomore to junior prom and she was a super high maintenance brat. The guys had planned a really nice day starting with a picnic at the park and she didn't show up for that because she was getting her hair and nails done. Then she showed up an hour late to pictures and where we were meeting to get the limo and nearly lost our dinner reservation. She ignored her date all night and then left early!!

For senior prom we went to the dollar store and party mart and made this gift baskets for all the couples with random stuff like glowsticks, slap bracelets, candy, etc.

My bf's mom went to a lot of work for the before party. Because the theme was "An Evening in Paris", she made adorable little french pastries, hors d'oeuvres and champagne cocktails for the parents. Then when we returned from prom she had coffee and more pastries. Of course, yet another couple broke up in the middle of the dance so we had to wait around for the limo to take a sobbing 17 year old girl home. Then another couple decided they were going to bounce too, so there were only 4 people who came back to enjoy the poor woman's hard work.

Yeah. High school dances. I dunno.

I just liked picking out fluffy dresses (I still have them all!) and planning the food!! I did fondue one year which was really fun.
