All-Star Graduation Bow

[cmpayne]

I sent my date a message on Facebook asking him both years lol

Unfortunately, exactly what it sounds like haha someone asking someone else to prom using a cheerleading bow that says something like "PROM?" on it.

Oh good Lord. Lol I guess I am old! Because my first response to this was "these kids make such a big production out of everything!"

@Just-a-Mom Have you seen our Homecoming mums? And that event rolls around every year - not just once like prom and engagements.

Yes. I don't know why that bothers me less. But it does.

I bought one for my graduation from Just Cheer Bows. You can personalize it and do different colors. This is a picture of my cap from when I got my AA, but when I graduated high school, I put the bow on the back tip of the cap and put bobby pins through the center wrap on each side and it made it stand up instead of lay down. The bow was $12, extra $3 if you want personalization, and shipping of course.

Hate the word promposal. It kind of makes me gag. The kid that asked me to prom was eating some of those kissables during math and we were working together and he asked me if I wanted the rest and gave me the bag. Well, there was a note that said "prom?" inside of it that I was supposed to see then but I decided to wait until study hall to eat them (oops). But later he ended up telling me he didn't want to go to prom anymore (which was after he told me my dress looked like a fruit bowl ...maybe he didn't want to wear yellow?) so I'm kind of glad his asking plans didn't go they way they were supposed to have.

Oh well, I think I had more fun without him than I would have had with him #sorrynotsorry

Nobody calls it that here.... I don't like it either
Do they still make kissables? I forgot about them...

Not sure if they officially call them that back home, but I hope they don't. No idea about the kissables, they were pretty good though.

High School guidance counselor here -- it is a real thing. And yes, some are more elaborate than how my HUSBAND proposed.

Examples:

*Horse & carriage to pick up Jenny from last period with carriage driver holding up a "Prom?" sign. (that was pretty crazy.)

*A-cappella singing group promposal during lunch.

*Having 6 of your friends painted with the letters P-R-O-M on their chests and running across the field during outdoor cheer practice with a bull horn yelling "KELLY. WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH JOE??" (as you can tell, this is my fave #sarcasm)

*Dinner at the five star steak place in town + a promposal in the bag with Tiffany earrings (the $75 studs, but still crazy for a HS student.)

It was actually getting out of hand last year. To the point that my principal had to remind seniors at their class meeting recently that ANY "Promposal" CANNOT disrupt classes or the regular school day. Ex: Singing Telegram dressed like Cinderella can't interrupt AP Spanish to ask Suzie to prom. If you're going to "prom-pose", it has to happen outside of school.

I know a girl who got a pandora bracelet saying PROM on it

THESE ARE INSANE! Most extravagant ones I have heard of yet!

Ummm when I got asked to prom in '09 and '10, all I got was a "will you go to prom with me?" Lol I never expected a crazy "promposal". I feel like it's the norm now for people to go out of their way to do crazy things.

You might THINK they are, but they really aren't! In more wealthy communities, it gets crazier.

There's an entire blog dedicated to "Prom-posals" and some of them are CRAZY.

Ex: Prom-posing with a PUPPY.

OMG I WANT A PROM PUPPY! Well I just want a puppy but my mom wont let us get any more dogs...but anyway that's a little much for prom! I think things like a scavenger hunt is cute and things along those lines but a puppy is a little insane. What if that girls family didn't want a puppy at that time? Do these kids not think of things like that????
