After-Prom Ideas For Conservative Teens

If you are a conservative or religious teen you may be wondering what you can do after prom. As you already know, prom-night is notorious for hotel parties with plenty of alcohol and drugs. Some prior planning can make a huge difference in your after-prom fun level. Here are some ideas we've come up with:

Dinner: If your prom isn't serving dinner then you should probably go out to dinner. Decide on a restaurant with your date or a group. Unless it's a fast-food joint you should probably make reservations a few weeks ahead of time. Weekends are usually busy for restaurants but weekends during prom season are even more busy. It's no fun to wait an hour for a table, so plan ahead. Since you're already dressed to turn heads it's fun to go to a fancy restaurant even if you can only afford to order an appetizer or dessert.

Activity: Some popular after-prom activities are playing miniature golf, going to a comedy club, playing pool, bowling, going to a movie, playing video games, or just going to the mall to parade around in your fancy clothes.

After-Party: A fun and inexpensive way to hang out with your date or group of friends after prom is a prom after-party. Do any of your friends have a huge TV, game room, swimming pool or a jacuzzi? When you find a home, ask the parents if you can have exclusive use of the common areas for the night, meaning the grownups will be there but they won't compete with you for use of the facilities. More importantly, they'll keep younger children from bothering you and your date or group. Make sure the parents know the party will go very late, and get them to agree to stay up the whole time. If the parents will be there and be awake the whole time your friends' parents will be more likely to let them come.

Use these ideas as a springboard for planning your own after-prom fun. Who knows? You might have more fun after prom than you did at the prom!
