lights-of-the-city-prom-decorationsThe city themed prom is perfect for channeling the fun and romance of the New York night life. Take your prom to the city that never sleeps with our Lights of the City prom decorations.

Create a backdrop for your decorations by covering walls with deep red or purple flat paper to simulate an evening or night sky. Use white gossamer to create the illusion of search lights. Cover the floors with black flat paper or metallic silver background material.

Add the City Skyline to your backdrop for an even better look. The skyline is 12’ tall and 32 feet long and is made of sturdy, free standing cardboard. It’s lighted too for an extra effect.

Use the Lights of the City Bridge to set the scene at your prom. The bridge is 10’ tall and 16’ wide and made from cardboard and corrugated and is outlined in twinkle lights. It will really make your city theme decorations come to life.

The Lights of the City Star Walkthrough makes a great entrance and photo setting for your prom. The 9 ½’ tall and 10 ½’ wide star shaped walkthrough is constructed from corrugated cardboard and outlined in twinkle lights.

Fill out the decorations with Skyscraper Columns. They’re great for adding volume to the scene or for elegantly dividing up space. The columns each stand 9 ½’ tall and 2’ wide and are lit for a romantic glow through the silver gossamer windows.

Finish it all off with 3D Stars for dressing up corners and doorways. The silver stars come in sets of one each in 3’, 2’ and 1’ tall. You can stand them around the room or suspend them from the ceiling.

After selecting the Lights of the City theme for your prom, create a memory booklet for a special, personalized keepsake. The memory booklet is a tradition that was created right here at Stumps Prom over 80 years ago! For this theme, we suggest the City Skyline Memory Booklet. The booklet features a silver or gold city skyline, stars and your custom wording on the cover and your content printed on the inside. It’s all held together by an elegant cord and tassel. Check out our Memory Booklet Tips for ideas on how to format your content.

Finish the night in style with a beautiful personalized prom favor. Our Custom Creation City Forever Tonight Picture Frame is a perfect choice for this theme the frame holds students’ own 5×7 prom photos and a background of a cool city photo. Plus, the frames can be imprinted with your wording. They make great keepsakes!

going-to-town-prom-decorating-kitA city theme is a fantastic, classy choice for your prom or event. Stumps Prom has many city-themed prom kits to set your event with metropolitan style. New for this year, our Going to Town Kit brings a cool, futuristic look to your prom!

The Going to Town Prom Theme Kit includes tons of beautiful decorations for your event: a Going to Town arch, a tower, a skyscraper, a building, and a bridge.

Create a background for your theme by covering the back walls with dark purple gossamer. Create white gossamer “spotlights” by draping white gossamer from the ceiling to a diagonal down to the floor. Cover the floor with black metallic background material and add royal blue floral sheeting for water.

Begin using your Going to Town Kit by setting up the Train Arch. It makes a fantastic entrance to your event and it fits seamlessly into the look of the whole decorating kit. The arch is personalized and stands 11’2” high and 10’11” wide. Made from sturdy cardboard, the arch features a railway train sitting on two pillars and is accented with twinkle lights. Students will love taking commemorative photos under this arch!

Next add the Building (14’2” x 7’2”), the Tower (14’3” x 9’5”) and the Skyscraper (13’ x 3’10”) to create your city skyline. Each building is decorated with twinkle lights and adds dimension to the look and feel of your decorations.

Finish the kit off by adding the Going to Town Bridge over the metallic background material river going through the center of your room. The bridge adds a great touch to the setting. It stands 14’ tall, 9’4” wide, and 5’8” deep. Accent the bridge with twinkle lights and twistees to form the cables. It makes a great focal point for your event!

After designing your prom decorations, choose a memory booklet for students to treasure their prom night with. Our memory booklets come custom printed with your content and are a classic keepsake. For this theme, we suggest the Manhattan Nights Photo Booklet. The cover features a beautiful photo of city streets at night and can be personalized with six lines of your personalized wording.

Send students home with a beautiful favor to remember their prom with! Our Custom Creation City Forever Tonight Frame is a delightful choice. The frame is printed with a cool city picture and can be personalized with your own logo and writing. Students will love adding their own 5×7 prom pictures to the frame.
