If you, like me, got stood up by your high school prom date because he was in the hospital for getting into a knife fight with his dad, it’s time to face your demons and throw a prom party! That’s right – with a little ingenuity and better taste in men, you are only a few cardboard palm trees away from erasing all of the tears you shed into your fried rice at Bennihana.
Get out your mini disco lamp.
I somehow have owned two of these in the past 5 years, yet cannot seem to find either one. In any case, I would buy a brand new one if I had a prom party on the horizon. It’s an essential!
Have everyone vote for prom king & queen.
But don’t bother counting any of the votes.
Volumize
Make punch from Minute-Made concentrate.
Whoever successfully spikes the punch doesn’t have to drink any!

It’s very scientific, so get the measurements right.
Consider a fog machine.
Perfect in small apartments with poor ventilation.
Guitar Center
1645 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109
This is where Green Day’s lighting guy buys his fog machines. (I saw him there once throwing a temper tantrum because his fog was not satisfactory).

Whatever you do, make sure you close out with the Spice Girls "2 Become 1."

Make sure you wait until the last 5 awkward people are left at the party to begin the closing slow dance.
Your map down memory lane.
Fantastico
559 6th St, San Francisco, CA
Grab your disco ball/pinata/flower leis here.
Pick a theme which involves palm trees.
I like “Red Carpet Romance,” “Premier Party,” and “Under The Tuscan Palm.”
Arrange photo op locale.
A trellis and a few balloons will do the trick.
Make sashes.
“Best Handwriting” and “Perfect Attendance” are my two favorite picks. But go wild.
Satin Moon Fabrics

Fluff your ruffles.

Don’t have your prom dress stored neatly in an air-tight container under your canopy bed? Pick one up here. You’ll definitely be able to find one with way better shoulder pads than your original, anyway.

Get serious about streamers.
Walgreen Drug Stores
1301 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94103
Watch out! This place only sells black crepe paper. No good for serious prommers.

I keep all my brains in that bouffant.
Don't want to host the party?
Tonga Room
950 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94108
Consider throwing your prom party here if you want to avoid cleanup. You won’t even have to request Earth, Wind & Fire, nor sneak in a flask of Malibu like you did at your real prom. Instead, slurp Skol from a coconut shell and enjoy the conga line.

Fun Tonga Room Fact
The Fairmont hotel is devoid of a swimming room, because they have converted their moldy lagoon into an aquatic sound stage for sassy local cover bands.

OMG – what a great idea. My prom was horrible! I went to prom and stayed until the very end, we went to after prom and stayed until the very end, then I got dropped off at home at 7am in the morning with a lame, I mean lame, kiss. I can use this idea to create better memories.

Prom… did it once. No need to do it again. Nice guide though, lady. ;)
