2023 Prom Send-Off Insanity: When Stretch Limos and Fireworks Just Won’t Cut It

Posted on by theYBF

The class of 2023 is rewriting the book on prom send-offs, taking this beloved tradition to unprecedented heights. See some of this year’s extravagant send-offs inside….

Traditionally, prom send-offs were neighborhood gatherings where friends and families would gather to bid farewell to the seniors in their elegant attire. But now, parents are seizing the opportunity to stand out from the crowd by hosting their own extravagant send-offs.

Transforming their front and backyards into dazzling scenes, complete with full backdrops and party tents, these proud parents are setting the stage for a truly memorable evening.

While many applaud the creativity and dedication of parents in orchestrating these lavish send-offs, not everyone is on board with the trend. “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Candiace Dillard Bassett recently voiced her disapproval on Twitter, sparking a heated debate.

“I pray this tacky overdone prom trend is over by the time mine are ready,” Candiace tweeted. “We not doing this. They look nice though.”

Some argue that the focus should be on the students themselves and their accomplishments rather than the extravagance of the send-offs. However, supporters argue that after a year of missed opportunities, it’s only natural for parents to want to go above and beyond to create a memorable experience for their graduating seniors.

The “RHOP” star commented on a Philly prom send-off for high schooler Zahir that recently went viral. The unforgettable event showcased a bold transformation of a row house’s front facade, leaving viewers in awe. Complete with a DJ, dirt bikes, a sea of amber roses, and a luxurious red carpet, this prom send-off pushed the boundaries of imagination and left a lasting impression on all who witnessed it.

When it comes to prom send-offs, Mylah Collins’ experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Her parents pulled out all the stops, transforming their home into a glamorous venue, which they dubbed as “Club Collins.” This upscale setting, fit for a prom princess, was so stunning that it almost overshadowed the actual prom itself. It is rumored that the extravagant celebration cost approximately $75,000.
