Prom Spot - Prom Committee: 5 Amazing Prom Themes

From old Hollywood glam to a nautical-inspired prom, this magical night is all about over-the-top fantasy. Let those creative juices flow and throw a mind-blowing bash everyone will remember for years to come using one of our five amazing prom themes.

Club Scene
You may not be old enough to hit the clubs just yet, but you can fake it for sure. Create a "bar" with colorful mocktails and mocktinis (nonalcoholic cocktails and martinis). Surround the dance floor with "bottle service" tables and banquets. Mimic the scene after an iconic club like Nikki Beach in Miami or Bungalow 8 in New York City.

Americana Style
Take a cue from Christina Aguilera's "Candyman" video and salute your country with a vintage military-style theme. Start by playing big band swing music as people arrive. Fill the venue with American flags, vintage aircraft cutouts, war posters, and pictures. You can even have an old-fashioned soda shoppe stand serving pop, malts, and other vintage refreshments.

Old Hollywood Glam
Strike your best award-winning pose with an old Hollywood-themed prom. Have all the guests arrive on a red carpet with "paparazzi" snapping pictures that appear inside on a jumbo screen. Create a mock "Hollywood" sign and adorn the space with glittery disco lighting and faux Oscars. Use strips of film to decorate the tables.

Big Easy
Masks, beads, and green, purple, and gold accents will set the scene for a colorful Mardi Gras-inspired prom. Create a French Quarter-style backdrop with cardboard. Bring in lots of faux lanterns and fill the tables with masks, beads, and glitter galore -- the more, the better. Give back by adding a donation box to benefit the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Sail Away
Sail the seven seas with a whimsical nautical-inspired prom. Go for a blue and white color scheme and decorate the walls with anchors, life preservers, oars, and rope. Drape the ceiling in white fabric to mimic sails and set the mood with blue ripple-effect lighting.
