GOT PROM? There’s a design for that! Whether it’s this year or yesteryear- the new kit in the shop is full of all things that make that night so special! I’m sure Dr. Freud would notice- one of the gals is wearing a teal blue dress just like I wore a million year ago! (Wondering how to recolor the dresses and other elements? Check out my super quick and easy tutorial here on You Tube!)
Let’s be real — getting photos of your teen at a dance is like asking them to hand over their phone: possible, but only under extreme negotiation. But here’s the thing: this story matters. It’s more than a dance. It’s independence. It’s transformation. It’s them figuring out who they are (and what they’ll never wear again). Dancing Queen helps you document it all with a bold color palette, vintage charm, and word art that celebrates every kind of dance floor moment — from first steps to final bows.
And the beauty? It’s not just for prom. Use it to scrap homecoming, daddy-daughter dances, middle school sock hops, dance recitals, or even the epic kitchen dance parties your kids will remember way longer than the official stuff.
Photo Prompts + Story Sparks
- How to get teen photos without starting a full-blown argument:
- Offer to trade. You clean their room, they text you 3 photos.
- Ask their best friend for shots — they always have the good angles.
- Promise not to post them (yet) — you’re just “making a scrapbook.”
- Snap the behind-the-scenes: shoe choices, accessory chaos, what’s in the clutch or pockets.
- Tell stories beyond the dance floor:
- The car ride playlist — what were they blasting before walking in?
- Texts they sent to you before/during the event. Screenshot and print those gems.
- The aftermath — heels in hand, hair undone, fast food wrappers everywhere.
- Outfit drama. What didn’t make the cut? Any last-minute switch-ups?
- The timeline — build a layout that follows the whole night from prep to collapse.
- For dance recitals or younger kids:
- Document the costume evolution from year to year.
- Capture practice moments: kitchen rehearsals, mirror poses, “wait, which side do I turn?”
- Tell the story behind the music choice or the emotion they felt performing.
- Layout a comparison: their first recital vs. now — growth, confidence, and all.
- For grown-up reflections:
- Scrap your own dance memories — not the polished ones, but the real ones: bad dates, epic music, embarrassing moments, and what you’d tell your teenage self today.
- Interview your teen and turn their answers into journaling gold. Ask: “What surprised you?” “What song made the night?” “Would you go again?”
- Layout idea: “Prom by the Numbers” — include things like how many bobby pins, text messages, outfit tries, etc.
They might roll their eyes when you ask for photos, but trust me — you’ll both be glad you documented this. Dancing Queen is about more than the dance. It’s about who they were becoming in that moment. The music fades, the flowers wilt, but these stories? They stick. Scrap them while they’re fresh — glitter, drama, awkward corsages and all.
