Pre-kindergarten proms are becoming increasingly trendy. Once upon a time, prom night was a significant milestone to look forward to during your school years — but why wait to celebrate when we can pamper our kids with early festivities? Even for events they likely don’t understand yet!
The pre-k prom is on the rise, and for parents who struggle to find matching pajamas for preschool theme days, it’s time to get organized! Next year, you might find yourself shopping for tuxedos and dazzling gowns. Yes, there’s even a hashtag for pre-k proms! These little ones are undeniably cute, but let’s be honest: do four-year-olds really need tuxes, gowns, and stretch limos? Seriously, I don’t even own formal attire, and my four-year-old definitely doesn’t either.
According to CBS News, these events often feature DJs and photographers. Parents and schools share photos and videos online, making it a whole social media affair. One mother, reminiscing on her own childhood, shared, “I didn’t go to prom because I had an overprotective mom. No dances, no prom.” Now, she finds herself reliving that moment through her child’s experience. Meanwhile, I’m here thinking, my prom experience was less than stellar, so I’d rather not relive it at my child’s pre-k event.
And let’s be real; the cuteness factor is hard to ignore. Just look at those little ones posing in front of their fancy limos! It’s adorable enough to make you want to join in on the fun. This pre-k prom trend has spread beyond Instagram; many schools are sharing delightful snapshots on their Facebook pages too. Blue tuxedos and pastel pink Dr. Marten’s? We might be warming up to the idea!
