Who says you need a date to experience the thrill of prom? While teens often get creative with their promposals, one high school senior, Jamie Parker, has taken the cake for the most epic self-invite to prom of the year.
Jamie, a senior at a cozy private school, found herself in a bit of a pickle when she learned that her district’s high school prom ticket sales had closed. “I was really hoping to go to prom with my friends from the other school,” she shared with Home Insemination Kit. “When I realized I wouldn’t have the chance, I thought, ‘Why not ask myself?’ After all, just because I wasn’t invited doesn’t mean I should miss out on the promposal fun!”
Armed with her mom as her personal photographer and a sprinkle of photo editing skills, Jamie crafted her own promposal. She shared the delightful snapshots on Instagram and Twitter, and they quickly caught fire on social media.
While Jamie appreciates the creativity behind many promposals, she feels it’s crucial to remember the true essence of the event. “Some of them are super fun and creative, but I feel bad for those who don’t get asked in a grand way. If you’re going to invite someone, do it because you want to enjoy their company, not just to have the flashiest promposal,” she explained.
Her photos were featured on the popular Instagram account, @the.promposals, where they garnered tons of likes and comments. Jamie hopes her initiative inspires others to realize that a date isn’t a prerequisite for prom. What’s really important is having a blast with friends and finding comfy shoes to dance the night away without blisters—trust us on that one.
So far, no one has stepped up to ask Jamie to be their date (maybe they’re intimidated by her boldness). But she’s not sweating it. “Honestly, if my school had a prom, I’d probably just go with my girlfriends,” she said. Yes, girl!
Regardless of whether or not Jamie gets to attend prom this year (we’re rooting for her!), it’s clear she understands the night is about friendship and fun rather than just romance. “There’s so much pressure for girls to find the perfect date and receive the grandest proposal. But prom should be about having a great time with friends!”
