Prom for grown-ups!

[freedom4all]

My bf and I are going to one. Neither one of us went in high school, so we are going to our first prom together. I have my dress already; it's black, and I have long blonde and neon orange extensions for my hair. He bought a wacky, vintage suit. I'm really excited about it!

Anyone been to a prom for "grown-ups?"

I didn't even know those things existed

Oh wow that sounds like fun! I hope you have a great time! I've only heard of them through an American TV sit-com that had all the parents go to one.

No, never been to a prom for "grown-ups". In a few weeks I'll be going to my senior ball with my girlfriend (who I met in college), so I guess that will count in place of a high school prom.

Nope, I've never heard of one. I didn't even go to my prom.

Never heard of a "prom" for grown-ups... what sort of thing is it? Just a big party where everyone gets dressed up?

I went to my highschool grad, but we didn't call it prom- our parents came too... I think it's a little different than what people call "prom". We had dinner, then speeches and awards, and then a dance.

Nope never been to one, but it sounds like a lot of fun! My b/f was homeschooled, and we met in college, so he never went to a prom, but kinda wishes he had, so I hope someday theres a prom for grownups around us! I wanna go!

I hated my prom. I go to cocktail parties, which in my mind, are much more fun than prom..... mostly because there isn't anyone looking over my shoulder or asking me not to dance so close

Then you were lucky. I was only at mine for 10 minutes, if that. There was nothing there and an ugly plastic backdrop for pictures

It was at a local restaurant/sports bar. It's not a fancy place, but they decorated it pretty nicely, and they had the new addition finished with fireplace and everything. There was no cost to get in, which was nice because I know that "real" proms are super expensive. It was fun to see everyone dressed up.

I didn't get anything to eat though; I thought eating fries with my long gloves would've looked a bit tacky.

If you don't have an "adult prom" you can go to (I've never heard of them before!), it's always fun to have an extra special "dress up date" with your bf. Wear a prom dress (you can get them for cheap at the goodwill), go out to eat somewhere nice, and dance to music in your backyard! Way fun.

The hair extensions sound cute... I wanna see pictures!

Mark and I went to a university prom-thingy once. It was pretty cool... the best part was dressing up, of course!
