Girls remake vintage prom dresses, couples all chip in for a single limo, dinner is at someone's home rather than a pricey restaurant, and the (incomprehensible to moi) hotel room is eschewed for an after-prom gathering at someone's home.

Parents, stand-up, be strong, unite! I vote for green, group prom attendance.
