After Prom Ideas for 2010

Ebie Harris
The prom ends but you are not done partying yet. Do not worry there are a lot of options to keep you going through the night. As long as you are with your friends your sure to have a good time. Choose from one of the activities below and have a night to remember.

After Prom Party at School
Many schools offer a safe place for prom goers to hang out throughout the night. Games, food, and music are sure to keep you busy until early hours of the morning.

Hotel Fun
If your prom is held at a hotel consider staying there for the evening; with parental supervision of course. You can relax with your friends in the swimming pool or hang out at the arcade. Hop from room to room visiting all of your friends for more fun.

Sleep Over
Consider having a low-key sleepover at a friend's house. You and your friends can rent movies, listen to music, order pizza, and play games. Break out your old favorite games from elementary school for a trip down memory lane.

Food
Sometimes all we need to do is to be able to stay out a little after normal curfew to have fun. Head over to Denny's, or another 24-hour diner, for some late night food.

Carnival Fun
Pick a friend's house and before prom set up a bouncy house. Many companies will rent bouncy houses, obstacle courses, and other fun carnival games. Spend the night having a blast.

Parental Scavenger Hunt
Have your parents organize a scavenger hunt. Divide in teams and spend the night following clues. For an added bonus have a prize for the first team to complete their quest. End the hunt at someone's house and spend the night talking about your adventures.

Beach Bonfire
Depending on where you live head over to the beach. Just kick back and chill with friends. Bring a Frisbee for some late night fun.

Mini-Golf
Have you ever tried playing mini-golf in prom clothes? Bring the camera, it is sure to be a night to remember.

YMCA
Check into your local Y. Many of these organizations host birthday parties so you may be able to work out something for prom night. You could use the gym for basketball, use the pool, and hot tub.

Laser Tag or Bowling
Some laser tag places may be interested in hosting an after prom party. Many of these places have arcades, bowling, and bumper cars all under one roof. If there is not a laser tag place close by try Galactic bowling. Bowling with your friends under black lights while listening to loud music can be a blast. Bowling with a large group of friends is even more fun.

Planetarium
Spend the night under the stars with your prom date. Many museums will offer special showings for groups of 20 or more.

Town Hall Party
Have your parents rent out the local town hall or fire station for the evening. All you need is a few parents to chaperone and you have your own club to dance the night away in. Soft drinks, snacks, and a karaoke machine will you have you rocking all night long.

Camping
Check out your local State Park. A tent, some sleeping bags, and a cooler are all that is needed. The night can be fun and inexpensive. Do not forget the supplies for Smores.

Midnight Movie
Some theaters offer midnight showings. If not you can always rent one of those large outdoor projection screens for your own movie night. Set up either lawn chairs or blankets for everyone to relax on. Have each of your friends bring candy and soda to share.

Horseback Riding
Organize a late night riding adventure. Some companies will allow trail rides, even after dark, if you plan ahead.

Casino Night
Pick a friend's house and have a casino night. Set up different tables with your favorite casino games. You can rent casino games for fun; roulette wheels and table top slot machines are a popular choice. If not just play poker, black jack, and other fun card games. Use monopoly money throughout the evening and have a small prize for the top winners.

Wii and X box Party
Have a game night competition. Challenge your friends with your favorite video games. Who can get the highest score on Guitar Hero?
