Inside: These homecoming poster ideas to get you and the whole student council in the dancing spirit.
Homecoming is such a fun experience for high schoolers, but there’s more to it than just a dance. There are weeks of preparation that go into homecoming.
Teens need to figure out who they are going with, how to ask them, what to wear, how they will pose for their dance pictures etc.
The teens that will be running for homecoming king or queen have even more on their to-do list; they have to put together their campaign!
To get people to vote for them, they need to get their names out and let people know that they are running. One of the best and most classic ways to do this is with a poster!
You can create your own DIY poster that will tell your fellow students to vote for you when the time comes and then hang them on the walls of your school.
I’ve created a list of some of the cutest homecoming poster ideas for you to look through for inspiration.
Homecoming posters are also used as a way to ask someone to be your date for the dance. Sort of like a Promposal but for homecoming, and there are so many ways that you can go about that. So I also made sure to include ideas for that as well!
