Prom-Posals

This is how they do it these days…I guess a simple phone call is soooo 2000’s.  Patrick wanted to ask his sweet friend, Tori, to prom and thought that he could just write, “Prom?” on a piece of butcher paper, hang it from the mantle and ask her over to see it.  Uhm, no said the crafty mom…can I help you on this one? 

I’ve seen the YouTube videos of guys asking girls to prom with songs they have written music to and sing to their girl in English class, Sky diving with a big sign, and our favorite…the guy who fills her room with roses and he’s hiding in the closet, gets down on one knee and asks her to prom.  You only have one prom in your life…let’s make this fun!

I took a sheet of red cor-plast and traced out letters, cut them out and taped red Christmas lights to the back.  Patrick and I hung them up and the rest was up to him.  He did well…a dozen roses and Tori’s friend at the light switch helped to seal the deal…May 17th is the big night!
