Thousands of homecoming and prom stories shared and questions aswered since 2005.
More often than not, a prom does not send its revelers home empty-handed. Participants in a prom take home some kind of keepsakes or mementos, hopefully to last as long as the memories.
Hopefully, organizers of the prom will be empathic with the students regarding their choice of prom favors. To these ends, the formation of a student committee may be pivotal in the distribution of prom favors worth keeping.
In any case, the efficiency of the hired supplier can spell a world of difference between a prom favor for keeps and a prom favor headed for the bin. The supplier must coordinate with the committee in the selection of artwork, theme, and colors. Rather than selecting the prom favors from picture catalogs, the committee should see samples of the prospective items.
Since days of yore, imprinted glassware has been consigned the prom favors of choice. Basically glasses are marked with the prom's date and theme, and then distributed to the student participants. Over the years, glassware has diverged from traditional styles and come to encompass mugs, flutes, tumblers, party glasses, bowls, and other innovative forms. Glassware may even be embellished with attractive wire wraps to coordinate with the colors of the prom theme.
Over time, though, some schools have found the use of certain glassware as prom favors to be inappropriate. Wine glasses and beer mugs might send the wrong connotation to the students.
Apt foresight brought about some more creative alternatives, not least in the picture frame. As with the glassware, a frame can be imprinted as prom favor. Photographs captured during the that evening by the photographers as well as a few candid shots could not be better flaunted in any other way than this. Whether in vinyl, acrylic, glass or metal, frames have tremendously come into their own as the ultimate prom favor. But an album also makes perfect sense as a prom favor, especially for those who went on a shopping spree that night.
Alternatively, keytags are ideal ways to convey memories of the prom night. At the whim of one's fingertips, one can conjure images of that night anytime, anywhere. Keytags can come with photos and as photo lockets.
Candles have also become popular as prom favors. Wax candles hold traditional esteem, but gel varieties have gained ground.
Clocks, mints, snow globes, and bubble blowers also make for splendid take-me-homes. For a little extra security, light-up objects make for great prom favors. On dark nights, one may never know when that light-up keytag, pen or necklace may come in handy.
