Pomenade

Did you know the term “prom” comes from the word “promenade” a procession of guests arriving at a formal event. The name is derived from the late nineteenth century practice of a promenade ball. The end of year tradition stemmed from the graduation ball tradition. In Victorian times the upper class held grand balls where each guest was announced before entering. Maybe you should suggest that be added to the order of events at your banquet or promenade.
