My prom is next Saturday and I have everything I need and have made all the plans...except for what to do after the prom!

My boyfriend and I are unlikely to be invited to any parties and we don't really want to go to any stupid drunken party anyways. Bowling is out of the question...there's already about a gazillion people going and I doubt there would be a lane left for us.

So what else is there?

It's too late now. Prom is Saturday so everyone already knows what they're doing after prom. I'm probably the only one who isn't doing anything. Everyone else has something planned. Besides, my parents would never let me have guests at my house that late at night, especially since my dad will be coming off of a 12-hour work day.

If that question is directed at me, no. No alcohol. Well, it's not supposed to be but I'm sure there always is.

starving: I like the way my prom is set up. Everyone can pretty much do their own thing. Most people pick a place to go eat before prom, either just with their dates or with a group of people. It's usually a Village Tavern or Olive Garden or Cities...a nice restaurant, basically. Then there's prom. Then people do whatever they want after prom. Nothing is set up by the school except for the prom which leaves it open.

I like it this way but if my school held an after-prom party, at least my mom might let me go. Though I doubt anyone else from my school would care about going. It wouldn't be cool enough for them.

They serve Alcohol at your prom?

wow good luck w/ your prom. and um thank you for making me realize i've been such a spoiled brat lately. I've been getting into so many fights with my parents about prom which r prob really unnessessary, anyway. your prom sounds really diff from the way mine is organized. we have our big dinner thing at a hotel, then go on a boat cruise (alcohol included) until like 3 or something in the morning (all planned and stuff by a committee at school). anyway, original plan was for my friends and me to split a hotel room to crash in afterwards then stay the next day for canada day, but no, mommy dearest would rather come pick me up early/late at night, bring me home to sleep, then drive me back in so i can party on canada day.
but one tip for you WorthWaitingFor, don't scream at the 'rentals it doesn't really get u anywhere. Just be creative with what ever you come up with, and make sure your parents get all the right info, like who's going to be there, what ur doing, call at a specific time if need be, and how late ur going to be or w/e. basically just reassure their trust in you. good luck and have fun at prom. (8 weeks left of school!!!!)

What if you get people to come to your house? Not many, and you'd have to be quiet, but then you wouldn't be breaking curfew and they'd know where you were. See what she thinks of it atleast.

Aw, thanks for the invite, north. But if my mom isn't going to let me stay out past 12 at a house where parents will be, I doubt she'll let me go with you! But I appreciate the offer and it sounds fun.

Celtic---His parents have known the girl forever and pretty much let him do anything (within reason) anyway. And my mom knows we wouldn't watch anything NC-17. It's more of a, "You just turned 16. Your normal curfew is 11pm. I've already extended it to 12am. I'm not budging any further."

I understand her point of view but I also understand mine---it's only going to be 10 or less people at a house where parents will be and we're just watching a movie so why can't I stay out later?

So, I might try again today or tomorrow but I don't think any begging is going to work!

waiting, come to Long Beach Island with me. All the children in my school rent beachouses at the Jersey Shore and party all weekend. Its going to be a blast, and I am designated driver.

Learn how to spell naïve before accusing others of being so.

Ask his folks how the movie thing sounds. Promise the movie won't be NC-17, also.

I'm not naive, by the way, just because I'm younger. I wouldn't be dating a senior if I were that naive.

There is a family history of alcoholism. I refuse to go near the stuff.

Anyways, thanks for the replies. Here's the story: My bf's friend was going to have a movie thing at her house after prom where about five couples were going to go sit in her big movie room and watch a movie. However, prom is from 8pm to 11pm and my curfew is 12am. The movie thing wasn't supposed to start until like 12am. I tried asking my mom and she said, "No, there is no reason why my daughter needs to stay out later than midnight."

So I'm doing...nothing after prom. I kinda feel like a loser; my bf will have to go without me. But there's really nothing I can do about it and maybe next year mom will let me stay out later. So I don't have to worry about after prom anymore because there isn't going to be an after prom for me.

alrighty...wow have fun at prom. now honestly because you are only a sophmore (15 or 16) your choices are limited. this is in part do to your age (nieve) and well you are a lower classman. my prom is may 14..wow i cant wait! i live in houston tx, about an hour or so from galvaston. most people from my school go down there and have this big bonfire and that just sounds like so much fun, but i cant go, daddy says no. so prom is 8-mid, i was able to get daddy to say 3:30 is when i have to be home! yea! now i too am young, so close to 17 i can taste it. what me and my bf plan on doing is hitting up a couple of parties and our parents rented us a limo, now we are not supposed to drink, however given both our pasts it is possile we might fall into it. so we got the limo just incase on the off chane we do drink (so we dont have to drive) then later we will go back to my place, chill out on our patio or go in and watch movies... haha disney! you can never go wrong with alice in wonderland, little mermaid, beauty and the beast or bambi...try that, suprisingly it is much fun! or you know you can always go out in the drive way, bring a cd player, put on some smooth jazz and dance under the cover of the starlit sky...its very romantic and relaxing...

so all in all, try classic disney movies (or personal faves), a moonlight dance, or what i find is fun is go to like sonic or burger king all dressed up in your dress and just go for a midnight snack! ohhh and wal-mart is always a fun choice! but whatever you do, make sure its just the two of you and always have fun!!!!!! love ya!

Not a bad idea, yogore, except our parents go to sleep early so I know mine wouldn't want us there and I don't know if his parents would mind us being there.

No, my school doesn't have an official afterprom party. In fact, I don't think anyone at my actual school is throwing a party. They usually just go to parties of people from other schools.

My boyfriend said his junior prom sucked too, bauhaus. I'm only a sophomore so I'm not supposed to be able to go except he's a senior so I get to go. That means three proms for me. Next year will be with friends and senior year will be with my boyfriend where he will be wearing his Marine dress blues.

My jr prom aftward sucked *** because I went with a bunch of squares.


I didnt even go to Sr Prom because its so expensive and overrated, although I did hang out with my friends who went afterward and we got realllly drunk.

Hang out and watch movies or something.

I'm guessing your school doesn't have an official after prom party?
