You'll find plenty of After Prom Party ideas here. Safe ideas that you are sure to remember long after the party is over.

Ideas that are fun, yet you still will have all your brain cells left at the end of the night.

Parents, you can use these ideas as well. Just be sure and check with your teen about everything. They like to be involved with every aspect. but after the party is started, back off and let your teen do the hosting. You can bring in food or drinks every now and then just to keep an eye on things.

Inform everyone that trouble makers will be sent home immediately. Keeping it safe is #1.

Have everyone bring a sleeping bag and a pillow to crash in. Make sure you put away all the valuables and breakables. A basement is a great place for a teen party.

So one of the best times of your life is over, you're in a great dress or tux, and you need something to do for the rest of the night that doesn't include puking or losing something you've been saving for that someone special.

After Prom parties do not have to be dangerous and life threatening to be memorable.

At Home After Prom Party Ideas

If you've decided to have the after prom party at home, here's a few ideas to get you started.

Decide On A Theme

You'll want some kind of theme. A lot of people continue the theme of the Prom. Casino night, Paris, Arabian nights, Hollywood, ect. Scoot everything out of the way and set up decorations in your chosen theme. Balloons are a cheap and effective party decoration. You can check out my party decorating page for more in depth details on how to decorate for any party. You could also just do any theme you choose. Maybe something your friends love. Did you have a blast at the last school field trip? Recreate that. Or just do your school colors.

After Prom Party Ideas For Food And Drinks

The party will probably last all night long, so you'll need plenty of food. Finger foods are best at parties. It's easier on the host and the guests. Any kind of meat and cheese trays, chips and dip, cupcakes and cookies, fruit trays, or veggie trays are great choices. You can also do an ice cream sundae bar, or a taco bar, or a salad bar. Rent or purchase a chocolate fountain and serve fruit and cut up pieces of pound cake for every one to dip in it. This is always a hit at any party. And don't forget breakfast. Serve muffins, french toast sticks, bagels, or bowls of cereal.

As far as drinks go, you can just serve soft drinks, lemonade, and water. A fun way to serve drinks is to get blow up coolers that match your theme and put the drinks in ice. It takes away the need for cups. I wouldn't recommend a large punch bowl for this party. It makes it too easy for a trouble maker to spike it.

After Prom Party Games And Activities

After decorating and food is out of the way, you have to entertain everyone all night long, so you will need plenty of after prom party games and activities to keep everyone busy. Plan more than you will ever need. Sometimes a game is a flop and sometimes a game turns out to be great fun and you play it for hours. Don't worry if you don't get to them all. Just have them ready. I've got a whole page dedicated to just after prom party games and activities. If you need some help with that you can check it out. A lot of parents are getting together and blocking off a whole block in the neighborhood. They are setting up carnivals, bouncy houses, Sumo rings, obstacle courses, ect.
