Go out to Eat

It is safe to assume you spent your senior prom mingling and dancing the night away. The food served at the prom may have been light finger foods, if food was served at all. One way to stay in the moment and keep the excitement going from senior prom is to go out to eat afterward. Go to a local 24-hour diner or a restaurant that's open late to recap the events that happened that evening. Host a barbecue in your backyard or at a local park the following afternoon. Grill hot dogs, hamburgers and play some music. Bring some water balloons and water guns to have a water battle among your friends. Make it an event to remember.
Attend a Party
-
You don't have let the party stop at the end of the senior prom. Continue to let the fun by attending an after party. Some high schools plan a post-prom celebration for students who attended the prom. At the school-sponsored after party you will be able to find lots of food, music and plenty of activities without the presence of alcohol. If you're not interested in the school function, find out if one of your friends is having a party and attend it. Bring your video game console or a karaoke machine to add a little competitive fun to the party. Another option is to go to a local teen club and dance the night away with friends.

Host a Sleepover
