Homecoming / Prom Limo and Party Bus Ideas...Plan ahead!! BE SAFE!

Homecoming Limo Ideas

Raise your hand if your teen thinks you're cool! For most of us parents, raising teens can feel like a battle at times. Chances are, we remember the frustration of having to be picked up after school in a frumpy station wagon or having to end the fun in time to meet an early curfew. Planning school dance nights can feel like a hopeless battle between ensuring your teen is able to have fun and protecting them against peer pressure. We've got great news, which is that we know a little secret that both teens and parents can love! Homecoming limos are the perfect blend of safety and style. We've compiled a few ideas that won't break the bank:

Treat a Homecoming Limo Like an Incentive

Offer booking a homecoming limo to your teen as an alternative to other, less safe activities on the night of the big school dance. Are they asking to head to a party in a hotel room or house party with few adult chaperone's? No one wants planning the school dance to become a battle between themselves and their teen. While booking a homecoming limo might not completely resolve issues of your different expectations, it might just be what it takes for you and your teen to reach a resolution.

Don't Break the Bank

School dance nights can have a big impact on a tight budget. Between buying a dress, flowers and dinner, it can seem difficult to come up with funds to cover a homecoming limo. The best way to save money might just be joining forces with other parents who are interested in ensuring safety. Most classic black stretch cars can comfortably seat between 10 and 20 teens, or you can go for the larger 35 or 40 passenger party bus which is much cheaper than renting service for just a couple. Pooling funds with a group of friends can make each contribution completely reasonable!

Take Advantage of Amenities

Homecoming limos come with plenty of extras that few private cars can compete with! While options can vary significantly, you may be able to score a  and a world-class sound system with FTL-LIMO. All our cars and party buses offer CD/DVD & IPOD connectors for kids to blast their custom playlists.
If you're feeling a little concerned that your teen may ask the Chauffeur to redirect the vehicle to an off-site party with few adult chaperons that FTL-LIMO can also provide at a additional cost. Also you can provide the FTL-LIMO with a strict itinerary for the evening. It's important for parents to remember that chauffeurs aren't babysitters and while they can stick to a requested itinerary, they can't effectively mediate conflicts between parents and teens about appropriate sites. Your best bet is to facilitate an honest conversation with your teens about expectations for the evening, and enlist their help in designing the itinerary. Can they pick the dinner restaurant and a place for late-night dessert after the dance? Allow your teen to give input, manage their expectations about itinerary and understand the role of a chauffeur is to provide a seamless, safe and stylish experience.
