| The schools in this area have planned after-parties and travel is arranged to that party. My D went with a friend to his prom last weekend and buses were used. The after party was at an upscale gym where the kids swam, played basketball, racquetball, etc. Security was tighter than the airport. Her prom's after party will be at Hard Rock Cafe - within walking distance of the prom venue and transportation has been arranged afterwards. It is all very structured. I know some kids opt out of these things so I guess I'm lucky that my D and her friends are fine with it. They are also not over-the-top with prom expenses either. She'll do her own hair, nails, etc. and, based on the girls she knows who go there, has decided that tanning salons kill brain cells. |
