How to Creatively Ask a Girl to Prom
Prom is a rite of passage for teenagers across the United States, but it's not just about the dress and tux. Finding the right date can be just as daunting, and when a guy decides who he wants to take, how to ask her can be as important as the actual night itself. It usually takes a little bit of creativity, but the more unique the invite, the better chance the girl will say a resounding "yes."

Create a scavenger hunt. Hide several items in the girl's backyard, including pieces of candy and small notes filled with encouragement that she has almost found her ultimate prize. Give her a map to follow and watch her excitement as she follows the trail. Let the last hidden object be the actual invite, which can be spelled out with alphabet pasta to add to the fun.

Write the invitation on a small piece of paper and slip it into a fortune cookie. Put the cookie in a Chinese food container you can get at any Chinese take-out restaurant or even at a party or dollar store. Deliver it to the girl's house and tell her she must open the cookie immediately. You can do a variation on this by taking her out for Chinese food and asking the waiter to slip the invite into a cookie for you.

Ask her at school in ways that are sure to be admired. Line the walkway of the high school with signs, with each sign having a word on it that is part of the invitation. Or, spray paint the invite onto the windshield of her car for all to see, or give her balloons or flowers with a note attached inviting her to prom. Many girls enjoy a public display that makes her feel special.

Tips & Warnings
Make sure the timing is right for your invitation and ask when she is not distracted by something else. Also, don't wait until the last minute. Invite her weeks or even months before the special day so she has enough time to pick out just the right dress and coordinate the colors with your tuxedo.
