Tips on how to throw an anti-prom party

All this talk of limos and lacy dresses not your style? There is another option —skip it altogether. Hey, it's not like prom attendance is required for graduation. Here are some ideas when planning your own anti-prom party for all of your friends who are not attending.

1) Rent anti-prom movies like "Carrie" or watch reruns of the Dawson's Creek: Anti-Prom episode.

2) Dress in your most tacky clothes and revel in the fact that you're not stuck in a frowy tight dress and uncomfortable shoes.

3) Pig out on junk food and lots of other messy foods that you can't eat in a prom dress.

4) Put on some rock music and be glad you're not dancing to some sappy music with some idiot you don't even like.

5) Give each other whacky hair-dos and make overs under 5 minutes. Who needs to spend hours on a perfectly tamed up-do and puckered lips?

6) Have everyone create corsages of dried up flowers or weeds for each other.

7) Setup a few quirky places for photo opportunities. Create your own backdrop and take polaroids for friends to remember the "anti" night with.

Whatever you do, make it something you'll enjoy and most of all, make it memorable.
