$5 Senior Prom

Host a prom for high school students with a twist—everyone must spend no more than $5 on their outfit, or create outfits from unusual materials like duct tape!

Secure a venue, decorate it in a fun and whimsical theme, and advertise the event with the $5 outfit rule. Provide snacks, drinks, and music for dancing. You could also organise competitions for the best creative outfits and award prizes to winners.

This event gives students a fun and budget-friendly opportunity to experience a prom, fostering creativity and inclusivity. It also creates a memorable experience where the focus is on fun rather than materialism.
