Your matric dance (or prom night) is one of the most exciting events of your school journey. It’s your chance to celebrate years of hard work, create unforgettable memories, and dress up for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Whether you’re part of the student planning committee or just want to get involved, this guide will help you with essential matric dance planning ideas and tips to organize a magical night.
1. Start with the Theme
Choosing the right theme is the first step to creating a standout event. Popular themes include Great Gatsby, Masquerade Ball, Starry Night, and even modern trends like “Met Gala Glam.” Make sure to choose a theme that excites your grade and suits your budget.
2. Build Your Student Planning Team
Work with a group of motivated classmates and divide responsibilities:
Décor & Venue
Fundraising
Invitations & RSVPs
Music & Entertainment
Food & Drinks
Digital Memory Wall (more on this later)
A well-organized team makes everything smoother.
3. Fundraising and Budgeting
Matric dance budgets can get tight, but there are plenty of creative ways to raise funds:
Bake sales
Car washes
Casual day ticket sales
Sponsorships from local businesses
Pro Tip: Track your expenses carefully and allocate funds to essentials first.
Celebrate Your Prom Like a Pro!
Set up your personal Evntwall and invite friends and family to be part of your big night – from anywhere in the world.
4. Create Unforgettable Experiences with Evntwall
Did you know that your school can set up an Evntwall to enhance the entire matric dance experience?
Here’s how Evntwall can make your night even more special:
Before the Event: The school can use Evntwall to collect RSVPs, share important updates, and provide directions to the venue.
On the Day: Students can share photos, check the program and table seating, participate in a fun quiz, write messages to each other, and even upload videos and selfies in real-time.
Bonus:
Personal Evntwalls for Students:
You can create your own personal Evntwall to share your matric dance journey with friends and family who can’t be there in person. Invite them to:
Share selfie moments
Send video toasts
Post their best wishes
This is perfect if you’re having a pre-prom celebration at home or simply want your loved ones to be part of your special day from afar.
5. Final Touches
Make sure you:
Coordinate your outfits early (don’t leave dress or suit shopping for the last minute!)
