Prom Invitations: Tropical Themes

This is the time of year when prom committees are busy. First up is that all important theme for the annual school dance. For many on the planning committee, coming up with a great theme is the hardest thing to do.

Most schools have years and years of themes already done. So coming up with something that is new and exciting is not easy. If your school hasn't done a tropical theme recently, then you are in luck. Tropical themed proms are fun, romantic and memorable.

For any event that I plan, I have fun making use of the design elements in the invitations to help with the decorations and menu. And a tropical theme has plenty of elements to choose from.

Palm trees are a great choice. The beach look works great, too. But don't overlook things like sunset over the ocean, an island paradise, even a pirate idea with a treasure chest as part of the picture-taking area.

Tropical themes can have anything to do with the ocean, the beach or an island. Even an ocean cruise ship or a naval ship can be part of your tropical theme.

Take a look at some of the fun tropical prom invitations to get your ideas for decorations and menus. Your prom this year can be better than ever as you transport your guests to different world.

Prom Time: Hollywood Nights

The fun of planning a prom usually starts with that theme. Any school dance can be greatly enhanced with a specific theme. That makes decorating so much easier.

When it's a Hollywood Nights theme, you have loads of options. Actually, there are different ways to go with a Hollywood Night theme. You can go with a red carpet, celebrate premiere night. The red carpet theme can also go with an Oscars or Golden Globe, even Cannes Film Festival works to use a red carpet theme.

Another option is Lights, Camera, Action. Going with a direction of movie making is another fun way to have a Hollywood Nights theme. Think of all the fun decorating ideas you can work with. Spotlights from the ceiling or walls. Celluloid film strings draping the picture taking area. Stacks of film canisters marking the dance floor entrance.

A Hollywood Nights theme can many different aspects for the dress as well. With a red carpet style, you can be set up for all the prom attendees to be dressed in formal wear. Even have an interviewer to talk to your "stars" as they arrive on the red carpet.

With a movie making theme, it can support a costume ball. Couples arrive as their favorite movie characters in costume. Or set the movie theme for a particular era, like Silent Movies, Movies of the 80's, Romantic Comedies.

Using a Hollywood Nights theme for your prom or school dance can be a fun and easy theme. Plenty of options, different directions you go and lots of fun for the prom.
