Ahh, school formals. It’s the time for the students to leave all their problems behind for one night and just focus on enjoying time with their friends, eating good food and dancing to music. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event for many people, so it’s really important to make it as special as possible. From magical venues like a party yacht, or this world theme, there are many things to consider when throwing a kickass school formal.
Admit it or not, everyone going through year 12 in school can use a few hours to forget their studies and social pressure. So make it worthwhile. From getting a famous band to play or hosting the ball in luxurious boat hire options, there are many ways to make your school formal one your audience will cherish. How though? Well, we have your back. If you are planning and organising a school formal, here’s a short list of tips on throwing a school formal so unforgettable they’ll be talking about it in their reunion.
Find a jaw-dropping venue
When deciding a venue for a school formal in this day and age, don’t forget: Your audience is 18-year-olds. And they have Instagram and Twitter. But don’t be too scared of being roasted. You must ensure your venue looks nice and pretty for their Instagram feed. Instead of getting boxed in a hotel ballroom, why not hold your school formals in party boats or superyachts? Many boat hire options in Sydney look perfect for the job.
You’ll choose sleek and modern ones like Starship Aqua, or elegant classics like the Constellation. These boats are beautiful, and you’ll also be going on a Sydney Harbour Cruise while partying.
You’ll get a magnificent view of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the beautiful city skyline at night. This will give the students the perfect selfie and groupie background, so one less thing to think of during the party!
Choose a theme with a twist
Yes. We know that it looks like every theme has been exhausted. Go-to ones like Under the Sea and Casino Royale are so used that they might feel less enchanting anymore. Don’t fret though. The trick is to be mindful of your audience when choosing a theme. Feel out what they would want and put a little twist on it.
You can combine classics like Black and White with Masquerade, quirky boat party themes, or you can go to “Casino Under The Sea”. How does that sound? These kids have too much creativity. They’ll find a way to fit your theme into their formal suit and gowns, no matter how weird. The beauty of party boat hire in Sydney is just like hotels, you can have them fit your theme so you won’t have to worry about setting up your party.
Serve food for the “gram”
“Food is love. Food is life.” You’ll see this sort of caption all over Instagram. Everyone is now a foodie, and everyone is a reviewer. So make sure you serve your food in a presentable way and keep them flavourful. One advantage of getting a yacht for hire for your school formal is having professional chefs cater to food just for your party.
So you can say goodbye to hotel food and say hello to a scrumptious feast cooked specially for your event. Planning a school formal? Let Any Boat help you make it memorable with the perfect boat for hire experience! Call us at 1300 221 933 or visit www.anyboat.com.au for more info!
