Prom is one of those nights that you won’t want to end (don't forgo pre-prom celebrations), but as the old saying goes, you don’t have to go home but you do have to get the heck out of here. Once the DJ starts playing Closing Time and everyone is gathering up their things you don’t need to let the party stop there. There are tons of ways to keep the night alive after-prom - below are a few of our favorites.
-
Midnight Bowling
If you're still riled up from the dance, but don't feel like going to an after-party, midnight bowling is the perfect post-prom trip. With colorful lights, music, food, and friends, it's a great way to continue the fun while mixing it up.
-
Host a Sleep Over
Invite your friends over for a good ol’ fashioned sleepover. Order pizza, play games and watch movies - it’s a fun way to squeeze in some more memories with your best friends once prom is over.
-
Host a Movie Night
Sometimes, all you need to unwind from a night of dancing is watching a movie with your closest friends. Instead of going to the movies - set up a projector in your backyard and have everyone bring blankets to lay on. Keep the vibe going with some prom-themed flicks.
-
Night Swimming
There is nothing more refreshing after hours of dancing than a dip in the pool. Spending the night swimming with your closest friends and rehashing prom in the jacuzzi is a great, low-key way to end your prom.
-
Host a Spa Night
Invite your girlfriends over for a spa night - it will be great to take off your dresses, heels, and make-up and pamper yourselves with facemasks and your nightly skincare routine!
-
Find a Diner or Pick Up Food To Go
Showing off your moves on the dance floor can work up a serious appetite. You and your group can go to a local diner and scarf down some bites - or pick up your favorite food and find somewhere to listen to tunes and snack. Check out EventUp to find the perfect venue to celebrate after-prom with all of your friends.
-
Camping
If you and your friends are the outdoorsy types, consider going on a post-prom camping trip. Just head straight to a camping spot and surround the fire while making s'mores with your best friends.
-
Karaoke Party
After the dance, take a trip to a karaoke studio or set up a karaoke station at your house and sing the night away!
-
Hit Up A Comedy Show
Almost everybody enjoys a good comedy show now and then. Keep the laughter and fun going by heading to a comedy show or improv show - which usually starts on the later side!
-
Beach Bonfire
Beach bonfires are a great way to relax, spend time with friends, dip your feet in the water, and just live in the moment.
