The class of 2023 is taking the prom send-offs to the next level with the help of balloon arches, beat faces, bust-down wigs, plastic wrap, and even a few farm animals.

After the pandemic snatched away the chance for previous graduates to celebrate their special day with their peers, parents, and guardians are living for today. Prom send-offs are generally neighborhood events where everyone comes to see the seniors in their formalwear but more families are choosing to stand out from the crowd by hosting their own.

By installing full backdrops and party tents in their front and backyards they are sending their babies off to the function in style.

Some of their setups are so elaborate that they look better than the venues where the proms are being held. The practice of going full out for prom is a controversial one, with some believing that the kids are doing too much. The Real Housewives of Potomac Star Candiace Dillard Basset bashed the trend on Twitter.

Others like HelloBeautiful contributor Brooklyn White see the showing out as all in good fun.
