******************
One girl gave back a gumball machine with about a hundred red and green gumballs. If the greens outnumbered the reds, her answer was yes. If the reds outnumbered the greens, it was no.

Run a string all over the yard with one end at the door and the other asking her to the dance hoping she isn't "tied up" for the night of the dance. (or her room)
**Would also be fun to run the string all over the yard and have her follow it to find the question/answer **
***********************************
Make a puzzle that says: Girl: Will you promise me you'll be my date for Prom? Love, Boy
He broke up the puzzle, and mixed it in a container with Dove Promises chocolate candy, and left it on her porch with a note saying: Don't wait too long to put the pieces together.

Creative Ways to ask a Girl to a Dance or Prom
| Got a creative idea of your own? Send it to us to include on the site! |
Let's face it, there are cool ways to a guy or girl to a prom, homecoming, or other dance and there are lame ways. Here's the lame way (don't do this):
"Hey, do ya' wanna go to a dance?""Sure. I guess so."
It's much more fun to invite or answer an invitation for a date creatively. It shows right off the bat that the evening is probably going to be fun. Here are some suggestions for asking a girl to prom in a creative way, but can also be used by girls to ask guys to dances or other dates as well. If you're the one being asked, be sure to check out our creative ways to answer page too.
Inflate Your Date's Ego
Write your date information on small slips of paper (time, place, date, type of dress, etc.) then slip each one into a different balloon. Inflate the balloons and tie them together with ribbon or make a bouquet out of them. Deliver to your date's house, classroom, or work.
Kid's Stuff
Borrow a remote control car from a younger sibbling or neighbor (or did yours out of the closet) and tape the invitation to it. Knock on your date's door and then hide. When your date answers the door, drive the car up and deliver the invitation.
Good Fortune
Slip the date information into a fortune cookie. You write it like a fortune cookie message (i.e. "You will have fun time in near future" on one side and "will you go to the prom with me?" on the other). Just get a small takeout box from a nearby Chinese restaurant and deliver it. You could also take your date out to Chinese food and work it out with the restaruant ahead of time to give your date the "prepared" fortune cookie (if you do it that way, you should have an unwrapped cookie for you too so it doesn't seem too obvious).
Treasure hunt
Scope out the girl or guy's yard and find three to five hiding places for messages. Map it out and be creative in how many steps and what kind of steps to take from place to place. Leave a piece of candy and a "good job" note at all but the last place. Leave the the invitation at the last one. You can make the map look like a treasure map and write something on it like "Follow this map. Your Friday night may depend on it." [tips on making a treasure map]
Go Fish!
Leave several goldfish in a small aquarium or in her/his bathtub. Leave a note saying, "Of all the fish in the sea, I chose you to..." (Go to the Prom, spend my Friday night with, etc.)
A Piece of Cake
Wrap the invitation in aluminum foil and bake it in a cake. Put a clue in writing (in frosting) on the cake so they eat it quickly and find the invitation on time.
Don't Be Cold
Put the invitation in an ice cube. The message could say, "Please don't leave me out in the cold. Say that you'll go out with me to homecoming/prom/whatever" or "It would be really cool if you'd go with me to..." You could also put the message on a popsicle.
S-p-e-l-l i-t o-u-t
Spell out the invitation using plastic knives and forks poked into your date's lawn. Leave a picture so your date knows who it is from.Use Alpha Bits Cereal or alphabet pasta to write out the invitation.
Adoring Kisses
Put Hershey's Kisses all over the front doorway of their house. Leave a note that says, "Now that I've kissed the ground you walk on, will you go do [homecoming/prom/etc.] with me?"
Candy Bar Poster
Sugar Daddy, Please don't Snicker. Will you like to go out with me to ____. I always wanted to go with you, since you're such a BIG HUNK. Love, Your Sugar Baby. (Or make up your own message. Some good candies to use: Oh! Henry, Nerds, Zero, Chuckles, Milky Way, M & M's, Mars, Mamba, Skor, Lifesavers, Sweetarts, Almond Joy, Mounds, Hot Tamales, etc.)
Piñata
Put the question in a piñata with lots of candy.
Mission: Impossible
Deliver a tape with this message, "Your date, should you choose to accept it, will be with ________ at _________ time on ________(day). You will be picked up by a person wearing ________. Your date will feel like s/he may self-destruct if you do not reply by ________."
10 Commandments
Have someone dressed up like Moses deliver the invitation worded like the 10 commandments--e.g. Thou shalt have no other dates before me, Thou shalt be ready at 7 pm on the 23rd of May, 1999, etc. (To answer this invitation, you could make a pan of Red JELL-O with the answer at the bottom in the middle--so that the person would have to part the "Red Sea.")
Wanted: Alive
Make posters around the school, neighborhood, or home of your date that has his picture on it. Offer a reward to him when he comes to your house. Dress up like a sheriff when you ask him.
Fatal Attraction
Draw a chalk outline of yourself outside the person's house. Then leave a note with your name and all of the information on it that says, "I'd die to go to ________ with you."
You're Eggstra Special!
Put the invitation cut into strips in plastic Easter eggs.
In the Still of the Night
Serenade under one of their windows. Make up new words to a song you and your friends know. The new words give the information about the date. For example, new words for "In the Still of the Night." "Come with me, Friday night. Seven o'clock until midnight. Dinner first, then a dance. Come on baby. Give me a chance. Come with me Friday night (Come with me Friday night-----)"
Come Fly With Me
Write the invitation like an airplane itinerary and deliver with a bag or peanuts or pretzels and an toy airplane.
String them Along
Tie a long piece of string to their front door. Tape messages along the string such as, "I'm not just stringing you along. Keep going" until they reach the location where you left your answer. Or give your answer in pieces along the way.
Just have ELVIS to it
Go somewhere where you know they are dressed up like a bag lady, a polka king, Elvis, a hippie, a mother in her bathrobe and curlers with a lunch box, or some other embarrassing costume and ask them out like that in front of everyone.

Make carrot cake or carrot-shaped cookies with a message, "Somebunny wants you to __________ with them. If you carrot all, you'll say yes."

Place some “sticky buns” in the back of a toy truck. Attach note that says, “I’d love to haul your buns to the dance”
.-= Story Lady´s last blog ..Wild Sunflowers =-.
I don’t remember everything I wrote…That was like 10+ years ago… anyways, something to the effect of you make my heart race — therefore you’re getting a “Speeding Ticket”… He was one of those guys that was like “perfect”… a very good, clean cut guy… if you know what I mean & he was SOOOO Embaressed & very Surprised about the cop showing up at his door! — so were His neighbor’s!!
It was Classic & he said he would Never forget it!
I found a 5 lb. bag of flour on my doorstep with a note that said: Will you go to homecoming with me? My name is in the flour.
The flour bag had clearly been opened and taped shut.
With my best friend we tore through the flour bag and after 3 hours of sifting and resifting and making a TOTAL DISASTER of the kitchen we swore that we lost the name somewhere but decided it was late enough and went to bed. The next morning I found a rose on my doorstep that said:
Oops sorry! Wrong flower and his name was stuck between the petals!
I was really frustrated but it was super cute!!
Also, my husband is pretty darn romantic and proposed with a real GLASS SLIPPER!! Oh how I love him!!
It was definitely a self esteem booster and I thought a unique way to ask.
My heart beets for you,
With your turnip nose
And your radish face.
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry.
Weed make a swell pear.
2. To answer back, we filled his bathtub with water and put 34 rubber ducks (yellow) and one pink rubber duck in there. Then on his mirror we wrote, “Of all the ducks on the lake, I’m so glad you chose me to take!! Yes!”
3. To ask a guy to a girls choice dance, I decorated his room with gold and black streamers and balloons and a giant trophy… 4ft tall to be exact… (Got it at DI, a thrift store). Then i put up 2 black posters with gold writing that said, “I’d feel like I’d won first place…” that was on his door. The other was taped to the trophy in his room that said, “If you go to Sadie’s with me!” I left letters to my name scattered all around his room so he had to find them and unscramble them.
4. To answer, he left the trophy standing up on my car (I wasn’t happy to see that thing again! It was HEAVY) and left a poster saying, “I’d feel like a loser if I missed this opportunity!” With picts of football players and basketball players sitting on the ground like “losers”
5. For another girls choice dance, I painted a poster that said on one side, “I’ll go to the dance with you” then on the other, “When pigs fly!”. I cut it up into about 15 pieces and gave them to people to give to him randomly throughout the day, teachers to give them to him, randomly on the wall for him to find, lunch ladies to give to him, I even asked the resource officer to call him into his office to make it sound like he was in trouble, but he really just gave him another piece to the puzzle. The best part? When he put it all together, NOTHING HAPPENED! No pigs flew
6. To answer back, he came to my house around 1 or 2 am and started throwing little pebbles at my window (romantic, I know! good thing he was my boyfriend!) When I came to the window he started singing a cheesy song he had made up to the tune of, “call me maybe”. I don’t remember the exact lyrics, but it was so cute!
7. For my friend to answer her date back to the dance, we kidnapped him at six in the morning, blind folded him, drove him around in a car for about a half hour so he was really confused, and brought him to her house. We sat him down at the table and when we uncovered his eyes there was a giant breakfast waiting for them. The server, (her mom)brought out pancakes and his had a giant “YES” in whipped cream.
8. To help another friend, we made some vanilla pudding and put it in a large bowl with a laminated piece of paper that said YES somewhere in the middle of it. On top of the pudding we put an entire can of whipped cream. We gave it to him in the middle of class and made him tie his hands behind his back and eat it to find the answer. It was priceless.
9. A way my friend got answered was the boy made A LOT of jello (5 gallons to be exact) and poured it all into a 5 gallon bucket. He laminated a piece of paper that said YES on it, and tied it to a dice with ribbon so it wouldn’t get too lost in there. (But it was dark green jello so you couldn’t see where it was at) Then he left it on her doorstep and ding dong ditched her.
10. A way to answer back- This boy had a truck, so in his truck bed she left a bale of hay with a sign saying, “I promise not to BALE on you! Of course I’ll go!”
