\n<\/strong>Things going on in the world outside of school inspire many of the best Prom themes. Your best bet to ensure high attendance at Prom is to pick a theme that teens love. How do you know what they love? Check out what\u2019s trending in teen world:<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Send out a survey to the student body asking for Prom theme ideas, or hang up a large piece of paper in the cafeteria where students can share ideas. You’ll get a lot of great suggestions this way – probably some you would never have thought of otherwise.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Gather up all the ideas you have and organize them by category. Then, start eliminating the ones that won’t work due to budget, venue, or other factors. Try to narrow the list down to around 10-12 good, solid ideas. This will be the final list that you work off of to select your theme.<\/p>\n![\"bigbandballroom\"](\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/BigBandBallroom-300x300.jpg\")
