| S1 attended at pre-prom dinner with a group of twelve. One of the girl's parents hosted and cooked. The parents dressed up like waiters and used candles and nice dishes. The food... grilled steaks, nice salads, some sort of great potatoes and a nice dessert. S1 and friends thought it was great because it was something everyone likes instead of something too fancy that they would be embarassed to admit they didn't care for.
I have heard several people complain about their kids thinking they needed to go to a high end restaurant in their prom limo only to get there and be completely intimidated by the atmosphere, food selection and prices. The whole thing can end up being a complete waste of money and a disappointment for the kids.
I definitely think somethig more relaxed in a home is better. |
