*By Request* HOW TO: Make Your Prom Unique

My good friend Derek White just asked a very lucky lady to prom in the most unique way I've ever heard. He used four easy steps. After revealing these steps to me, he asked me for any tips on making prom unique. As I thought of ideas I also knew I had to share them with our lovely readers as well. So in no particular order here are my top ten ways of making Prom unique.

1. Pre-Game-Ok don't get any ideas I don't mean drinking. I mean get really pumped before the prom. For guys this means having a bachelor like mini party with your male friends you're going to prom with. Play video games, hit the gym, get mani pedis(don't knock it until you try it), just have some guy time before you see the girls. For girls add the finishing touches to your makeup, watch a movie like Bridesmaids or Mean Girls avoid the sappy romances we want to be happy and excited for the big night.


2. Limo Party anyone?-Although renting a limo is common, what you do in that limo is what makes it unique. Bring games and candy. Have a Karaoke contest girls versus guys.


3. Dinner in The Park- Save money and time by not waiting for a table at a restaurant! Everyone bring something and enjoy a nice sunset dinner in the park. Bring decorative table cloth and center piece and your park dinner will be a nice little picturesque event out of a Martha Stewart magazine.


4. Pre Prom Mini Flash Mob - That's right you and your group bring your ipod and your speakers and practice your moves in a public setting. Try someplace like the mall,Target or Wal-Mart.


5. Pre Prom Pranks :3 - Just make sure they are harmless pranks that won't ruin anyones clothes or make anyone too upset. Like hide all the girls clutches leave "ransom" notes and lead them to the purses. Hide your corsages in the inside your dates bag. :) It's a nice little surprise.
Get one of your date's friend's to help you with this one. Call her phone with a voice disguise (call her on her friends phone its more convincing) and ask if she knows where said friend is. When she discovers her friend is missing lead her on a hunt into finding her friend.


6. Control Your DJ - If you really want your prom night to be jam filled with all your favor songs, make sure that DJ knows what you all want to hear. If you can contact him or her a few days before the big day and send them a suggested playlist.


7. Waking Up The Neighbors - The classic driving around your town with the sun/moon roof open and belt lyrics to the top of your lungs.


8. Connect on the dance floor-Don't just dance with the people you came with dance with everyone. Ask for songs like the Casper Slide Remix. Fun and corny from the 90's. If you're not sweating, you're not having fun!


9. 24 hour hangout-Bring towels for this one. After the prom go to the nearest 24 hour store, buy desserts (if you're at Wal-Mart go to the TV's and watch a movie some Wal-Marts are cooler than others though so bring a laptop!) and just sit down and eat and recap your favorite moments from the night.


10. AFTER PARTYING IT UP - the best part about prom is what you do when it's over. Grab a late night bite at Waffle House, midnight showing of a movie, go bowling, play a Dancing Game at someone's home or lake home. Late Night swim, beach after party whatever just have fun.
