Prom Decoration Ideas for a Night Under the Stars Theme

Prom time is here again. If you are on the prom planning committee, this time of year can be very stressful as you attempt to figure out what theme to use and how to bring that theme to life. One classic and beautiful theme is a Night Under the Stars. Below are some ideas on prom decorations for that theme, as well as information on where to purchase those decorations.

Prom Colors and Decorations:

When choosing colors for your prom decorations, regardless of the theme, you should decide on two or three and then use only those colors. For a Night Under the Stars, prom decorations in silver and midnight blue generally work the best. These colors suit the theme, and provide many options for decorating. Add silver stars to the ceiling and walls, sprinkle silver confetti over midnight blue tablecloths, or create dazzling table centerpieces using midnight blue candles decorated with silver wire. Imagine a star-filled sky overhead, and then use that imagery when selecting prom decorations. Most prom decorations can be purchased at any local party supply store, ordered online in bulk, or even made by hand if your budget is tight.

Posters are a very important addition to prom decorations, both before and during the event. Design posters using your theme's colors, and hang them all over your school. Allowing all of your classmates to design and hang their own posters is an excellent way to get everyone involved, cut costs, and build excitement for the big event.

Prom Favors and Gifts:

Choosing prom favors and gifts is often one of the most difficult tasks when serving on a prom planning committee. Some ideas for prom favors that work well with a Night Under the Stars prom theme are glittery star-shaped wands for your female classmates and midnight blue crowns for your male classmates. Silver star-shaped keychains with the class year and motto are great prom gifts for classmates of either gender. Prom favors and gifts need not be expensive, and are often reasonably priced when purchased in large quantities. A great place to shop for bulk prom favors is OrientalTrading.com.
