Prom is not only the biggest high school dance of the year, but the most important. As the big dance approaches, so does the pressure for having a wonderful yet memorable time. While there are a lot of things that create an amazing experience, it is important to have a great date.

You find yourself in a dilemma, as you are uncertain how to ask that exceptional person to the prom. Although texting is efficient, it isn't the most applicable source in asking them to great ball. Even though you have the audacity to ask you are not sure how to do it. The good news is there are many great, creative ways to ask that special someone to the prom.

CUPCAKES CAMPAIGN Everyone loves cupcakes and because this treat is an easygoing way to the win the heart of that unique someone you want to take to the prom, they work impeccably as a way to ask someone to the prom. Use each cupcake for a word "Will-You-Go-To-The-Prom-With-Me" which not only spells out your question, but gives your possible date 8 cupcakes to enjoy.

WRITE ON YOURSELF To you boys hoping to take that beautiful girl to the prom, one of the best ways to ask her is to show up at her house shirtless with the question "Will you go to the prom with me?" in big letters written all over you. Not only is this creative, but extremely successful too.

PUT POST-ITS ON THEIR VEHICLE If you are going to ask that special someone to the prom, you are going to want to invest in a lot of post-its. And I am not talking about enough just to cover a windshield; I am talking about enough to cover an entire vehicle. After seeing their car covered in post-its, they will have no choice but to say "yes".

RUMOR HAS IT Tell everyone you can who you plan to ask to the prom and ask them to spread the rumor that your heart will be broken if they didn't go to the prom with you. Then tell the person you intend to ask "Rumor has it" (point to yourself) "...that [insert name] wants to go to the prom with you" and pop the question.

MUSIC TO THE QUESTION Whether you want to play that special someone a song using your favorite instrument or even sing to them using your human one, whoever the recipient is will not only appreciate it, but the love this gesture much more so.

START A RALLY Even though holding a sign asking that one significant question which consists of eight words is commendable, what makes it more exciting is if you get a bunch of your friends together and even your acquaintances in on it and have them carry signs asking "Will you go to the prom with [insert your name here]?"

BALLOON LIFT OFF One of the most imaginative ways to ask that special girl or boy to the prom is by attaching a bunch of balloons to your vehicle and their vehicle and by getting your friends together to hold even more balloons that spell out the big question.

Get a lot of people to like the page before inviting your friends and their friends, etc. to like it. Then, at the best moment send them an invite to like the page.

PLAY DEAD Simply play dead on the middle of school hallway and attach a sign saying "I am dying to go to the prom with [insert their name]."

This innovative way to ask a date to the prom has proved to be one of the most effectual ways there is and I also believe it will work for you.

SIGN PICTURE SALUTE Create individual signs with each word you intend to use in your question. If you intend to say "I, [insert first and last name], want to go to the prom with you" create a sign for "I" followed by "[first name]" then "[last name]" etc. Take a picture holding the sign, whether in the same theme or different theme. Email them the pictures and if you don't have their email, print them out and stick them on their locker.
