A few Prom Night Menu Ideas to help with the after-prom party planning.
It’s Prom season once again! As a parent it’s fun to watch plans being made celebrating another year of school coming to an end, but, if you’re like me, you want these young adults to be safe while celebrating. We’ve offered to host an after-prom breakfast or get together of sorts at our home. While I’m not sure if my daughter thinks we’re cool enough to accept the offer, I’m going to go ahead and start thinking about menu items for the evening if it does happen to end up at our home.
While we’re thinking a breakfast menu would be fun, we do know other parents who serve a huge dinner before prom for a group of students. How cool is that?!? A post-prom dessert party sounds like a sweet thing too.
Whatever you’re thinking, I’ve put together some ideas for different menu spreads.
If you have any ideas to share, I’d love to hear them too!
Prom Dinner Party Menu Ideas
Simple Rib-Eyes – Of course, substitute any favorite cut of steak.
Honey Mustard Salad Dressing – Serve with a simple tossed salad.
Prom Dessert Party Menu Ideas
Party Popcorn – Use your favorite color(s) and/or sprinkles. School colors would be fun!)
Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows – These can be decorated all kinds of ways to coordinate with your party theme. And they may look fancy, but they’re sooooo simple. Check out these pink ones too!
Pistachio Cupcakes – Substitute another favorite pudding mix to change the color and flavor of these cupcakes.
Fourth of July Cake from ThePioneerWoman.com – An alternate to cupcakes. I know it’s not the 4th, but this cake … oh my. It serves a bunch and can be decorated to match theme or just left plain.
Prom Breakfast Party Menu Ideas
Blueberry Coconut Smoothies – Set up a smoothie bar and let everyone create their own combination.
Bacon and Brie Quiche – Go ahead and make a few of these. The chaperones will want more of this one!
Coconut Pancakes – Of course, any pancake or waffle will do when young adults are involved, but these are a nice twist on the basic pancake.
Melon Fruit Salad – While it’s such a small amount, you may substitute amaretto flavoring or vanilla extract for the amaretto.
Cheddar Biscuits from AddaPinch.com
And bacon, of course! Also from AddaPinch.com
Whatever plans end up being for your young adults on prom night, we’re praying for a fun, but safe and responsible evening for all!
Again, please share any prom menu ideas you have!

What great ideas Amy!
Awesome ideas, Amy. Next year I’m cooking! I’ll come back and ask you for help 🙂
Great ideas — my parents made us after prom breakfast many years ago and so I kept the tradition and did the same thing for my girls — so much fun and such great memories! But boy can teenage boys pack away the food (keep this in mind when planning your menus lol)
Awesome ideas! In our small town, there are no restaurants within 30 mies, so the parents of the junior class cook for the entire prom! That was 63 meals this year, including a few teachers and sponsors! We served chicken cordon bleu, rice, green beans and a delicious cake we called “ooey gooey cake” because it is called “better than sex cake” on my recipe card! The kids requested root beer floats, too! Lots of fun for the kids and the parents all work together and have fun in the kitchen! Your ideas are awesome and I wish we had them last month when we were making plans.
My parents offered prom dinner at our house many moons ago. We had so much fun and it was much more relaxed than at a restaurant. They served steak with bleu cheese crumbles, baked potatoes and a salad. Dessert was simple but delish cupcakes, decorated in our school colors. Fun memories!!
All of this looks amazing, Amy!!! You might just have a crowd when word gets out that you’ve made a spread like this! Thanks for including my Bacon and my Cheddar Biscuits! Have fun!!! xoxo
This is so fun!! Seriously, if I were you daughters friend I would be beging her to let you guys host this party! All of these menus so so good!
I’d like 2 of everything.
Such great ideas! My sister-in-law hosted a big barbecue for all for all of the kids this year. It was great fun.
Yes please.
This is awesome! I am adding candied bacon for an appetizer, salad and breadsticks from Olive Garden and fondue for dessert!
wow! great menu! thanks for the share!
We are hosting a after prom party breakfast this year for the first time in our barn! I am so excited since this is my son’s Senior year. Thank you for the ideas and keep us in your prayers! ☺
Y’all have fun, Katie!
To whom it may concern,
I’m a year 10 student at Southborough High School doing GCSE ICT , i would like permission to use information from your website as part as my research for my coursework on creating a prom company. If i do not hear back from you in the next 10 working days i will take it that you have given me permission for me to use this information and will of course credit to you in my source table.
Many thanks
