I'm a junior and on the prom committee with about 25-30 other people who cannot agree on a theme. Some of us want the traditional, formal, classy, starry, moonlit-looking, prom; but some people are trying to make it lame like a jungle theme. JUNGLE IS NOT PROMMMMM. how do i convince the rest of the committee that prom is a one-time deal and we want to remember it like it was all a dream?
A few of us girls decided on a paris-evening theme, with the dark city lit up on the walls and the eiffel tower, and that kind of thing so it's everything that any girl dreams prom would ever be.
No one in junior high or even elementary school dreams of their junior prom as being of a jungle or a luau. its just.. NOT prom material. I need to convince my fellow prom committee members just that. AND i need to convince them that it would be just as cheap as those lame themes would be.
Can anyone help me?! please.. its urgent. the next meeting is in 2 days. Thanks.

The point of having a committee is so you get lots of ideas and get to pick the best. So you want yours picked, make sure it's the best, put the most effort into your plans, and rehearse what you will say to the committee and how you will present it. Dazzle them with your organization, your passion and all the in and outs of the theme that you have considered.
You want to convince them it will be economical. Then do some research! Call up party supply stores and other places you might want to buy things from. Some of them might be willing to cut you a deal.
You convince people by being having the best and most deserving idea, not just cause you think you are the only one who is right. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
