It'll look really pretty if it's done neatly.
You can get cheap, plstic, shimmering silver goblets, and wind black ribbon around the stem. (if your school allows you to) spraypaint the chairs silver and tie a black bow on the back.
Would you be able to get a discoball? If the rest of the room's done elegantly, the disco ball will just accentuate all the silvers. If the room isn't done so great, it might be quite tacky...so watch out for that.
Hope it looks fantastic. =] [ advicegirl367's advice column | Ask advicegirl367 A Question ]

Have a great time, hope i helped BRIE [ brie's advice column | Ask brie A Question ]
