Who needs a prom date when prom with friends is an even better choice? Spending prom night with friends could very well be a night to remember, better than a cheesy promposal and an awkward slow dance. Here’s how to make it one unforgettable girl’s night out.

What To Wear

Prom dress shopping with friends is not only more fun and less stressful, but it also prevents two people from buying the same dress and suffering a major catastrophe. Shopping together allows friends to give their opinions on their dresses, instead of being alone in the dressing room, taking pictures of 30 different dresses.

What To Eat

The last thing you want to see is couples smooching over their $50 dinners at an overrated restaurant. To avoid this, take the group to a restaurant everyone enjoys and that everyone can afford. No one wants to be stuck paying the entire bill or not being able to afford their plate.

Where To Go After

Forget after parties, take your heels off, change into some sweats, and head over to your best friend’s house for a movie night. Prom after parties are overrated and full of couples grinding on each other and kissing. Having a slumber party at a best friend’s with tons of junk food and cheesy movies is much better.

Say goodbye to boys and corsages, and hello to best friends. Reinvent prom night and transform it into a humongous girl’s night out.
