Ah, prom... the biggest night of your teenager's life. It's the ultimate rite of passage for high schoolers â the night you finally feel like an adult. After the extravagant promposal, you've got a beautiful dress, a dazzling tuxedo, a limo. It's all so glamorous, and as a parent, well, it's also all so overwhelming because your kid is growing up! As much as it's a memorable night for your teen, it's an equally memorable one for moms, dads, and grandparents.
After all, you'll look back at these prom pictures for years to come. While your prom pics featuring puffy sleeves and crimped-out hairstyles can be found in an old shoebox or lost to MySpace (RIP), your teens will post their memories on Instagram. And câmon, you know youâre going to plaster your kids' prom pics all over your social media feeds, too. So now the real stress of the night is not what to wear but which prom caption you should use to commemorate this special milestone in the life of your almost-adult child (*sob*).
Not to worry, though, because this list of the perfect prom captions is here to help you celebrate â and give your prom-going teen some ideas as well.
