Funny Ways to Ask to a Dance
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here. 
I have SO many fond memories of going to the high school dances with my friends. We always had so much fun and would spend hours having "planning sessions" to decide how to ask to the dance and then what we would do for our day date, dinner, etc. I know others may not have done as much, but it was something us girls loved to do when we were the ones asking to the dance, and it's something our guy friends did when they asked us. Ah, memories.
As I mentioned, one of the things we planned was how to ask to the dance. We were always looking for Creative Ways to ask to dances, and I thought it would be a good idea to compile 100+ ways to ask creatively. Most are done with little cost and are simply ideas to help out the teenagers in your family. Is it necessary to ask creatively? Not at all, but it's fun and adds a little more excitement to the whole date.
100+ CREATIVE WAYS TO ASK TO DANCES:
1. COCONUTS – Drill holes through the shells of coconuts, empty of milk, divide up the message between them (wrapped in cellophane) saying "I'd go NUTS if you'd go to {dance} with me!" They have to smash the coconuts to get the message.
2. STARBUCKS – Go to starbucks with the person you're asking. Have the person sit and wait while you order, and when you order, ask the barista if when they call out your order they'll say "One {whatever your drink is} and one {name of your date}, will you go to the dance with {your name} and then the name of their drink (for example: "One peppermint mocha and one -Katie will you go to the dance with Josh- vanilla bean frappuccino!")
3. PIZZA – Have a pizza delivered to the person you're asking. On the inside of the lid of the box write, "Will you go to the dance with me? If your answer is yes, eat the pizza and return the box. If your answer is no, eat the box and return the pizza."
