Seattle Mom Prom Charity Event For Postpartum Support International of Washington

I love to dance! I’m a mom of two and feel too old (at 31, going on 32YO) to head to the clubs anymore; it’s no longer my scene. But I still long for the club feel and just love to get a little silly and hang out with my girlfriends. I need Mom’s Night Outs often enough and I can find no better way in the month of May than the Seattle Mom Prom.

I attended last year’s first annual Seattle Mom Prom with two friends and we had a blast LITERALLY from the moment we parked to the end of our evening. There were tons of giggles, too much “slumber party food”, crazy dance moves I haven’t performed since middle school, glasses of wine, tiaras, and what prom would be complete without prom pictures. Best of all, it’s all for charity with proceeds from the Seattle Mom Prom benefiting Postpartum Support International of Washington.

Seattle may not have the first or the only Mom Prom but you are guaranteed a fun night out, trust me! You can find one in your area or even be the founder of a Mom Prom in your state. Our Prom Queen here in Seattle is Myla Rugge; she has an infectious optimism and loves to have parties and bring women together.

The Seattle Mom Prom is not only moms, but it is exclusively ladies on May 21, 2011 at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center from 8pm until Midnight.

If you live in the Seattle area you can find out more by staying tuned to the Seattle Mom Prom website, Liking their Seattle Mom Prom Facebook page, and Tracking them on Twitter @SeattleMomProm.

And last but NOT LEAST, you can purchase Seattle Mom Prom tickets! It’s best to do it ASAP as the rate is on a sliding scale depending on the date of purchase. If you purchase now you’ll pay only $25, April 13-May5 is $30, starting May 6 is $35, and if you purchase a ticket at the door then it’s $40. You can purchase a ticket for yourself or sponsor a ticket (for $35). Sponsored tickets will be distributed to women in the community who would like to attend the event but can’t afford to buy a ticket. This is a great option even for those of our followers who aren’t local and would like to make a difference for a mom in need of a night out.

The price of the ticket includes a tiara (if you don’t bring your own); drink tickets; dessert, candy and snacks (One of the sponsors* again this year is Trophy cupcakes; YUM!); dancing, dancing, dancing with a real live DJ (not just an MP3 player hooked up in the background); unlimited Prom photos with the event photographer; and you get entered to win door prizes*. There is also the option to purchase extra tickets for the raffle* and there will be a silent auction*! This year you can also nominate yourself or a local mom for the Mom of the Year Award – we all have those days were we feel need … nay … deserve this award. At the second annual Seattle Mom Prom you could be one of the select moms to win MOM OF THE YEAR!

Hope to see you at the Seattle Mom Prom. I’ll be the one wearing my TOMS and some dress yet to be determined; I believe in dressing for comfort and fun! Do you have an old dress you’d love to give a second life; what will you be wearing?
