If you store and care for them correctly, you can reuse Prom decorations\u00a0for other events throughout the year \u2013 which makes them great investments for your school. Here are a few quick and easy ways you can use\u00a0your Prom decorations over again to get the most value for your money.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reuse Prom Decorations For Your Homecoming Dance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your Homecoming dance theme probably won\u2019t be the same as (or even similar to) your Prom theme, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t reuse some of the same d\u00e9cor for both events. If you had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/arches-and-gates\/arch-kits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">arches<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/columns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">columns<\/a> as part of your Prom theme, repurpose them for Homecoming by adding accents, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/fabrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fabric<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/lighting-and-effects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lights<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/classic-decorations\/confetti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">glitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/balloons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">balloons<\/a>, in your team colors or dance theme colors. You\u2019ll get instant Homecoming theme decorations in no time and for very little cost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/arches-and-gates\/balloon-arches\/hollywood-romance-kit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4905\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homecoming_theme.jpg\" alt=\"Andersons_Reuse_Prom_Decorations\" width=\"316\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homecoming_theme.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homecoming_theme-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reuse Prom Decorations For Your\u00a0Parade Float<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another great way to reuse your Prom decorations is on your Homecoming (or any other) parade float. You may need to purchase things like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/school-spirit\/parade-float-supplies\/floral-sheeting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floral sheeting<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/school-spirit\/parade-float-supplies\/fringe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fringe<\/a>, and styro <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/school-spirit\/parade-float-supplies\/styro-letters\/styrofoam-letters-and-numbers-11-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letters<\/a> especially for your float, but all the accent pieces and props can come from leftover Prom decorations. Items like these make great additions to a parade float:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/benches-and-seating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Benches<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/silhouettes-and-stand-ups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cardboard Cut Outs\/Silhouettes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Arches<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/arches-and-gates\/balloon-arches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Balloon Arches<\/a> and Columns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Reuse Prom Decorations For\u00a0Theater Productions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Theater props are often hard to come by, so donate all your leftover Prom theme props and d\u00e9cor to the drama department at your school. Consider giving them things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scenery Props (trees, bushes, floral garlands)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/lanterns-and-lampposts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lampposts and Lanterns<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/chandeliers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chandeliers<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Benches<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/decorations\/centerpieces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centerpieces<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fabric Backdrops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Reuse Prom Decorations As\u00a0Spirit Week Decor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There may not be money in the budget for special Spirit Week decorations. No worries; your Prom decorations will come to the rescue. Use the arch from your Prom theme as\u00a0an\u00a0entrance for your football players and cheerleaders to run through. And the bench from your garden Prom theme will make a\u00a0perfect throne for your Homecoming royalty. Use a balloon column in your school colors as an accent piece, and you\u2019ll be set for Sprit Week festivities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/themes\/props-and-kit-separates\/columns\/swirl-balloon-column-kit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4907\" src=\"http:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homecoming_Columns-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"Andersons_Reuse_Prom_Decorations_Columns\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homecoming_Columns-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www.andersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homecoming_Columns.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Purchasing new d\u00e9cor for all your school events can be expensive, especially if you use decorations only once. By reusing decorations from one event to another, you can save money, time, and effort, and creatively design extra-special events your students will love to attend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Like these ideas?
