promposal

Elaborate dance request

A promposal is an elaborate invitation to prom, often staged as a public spectacle with signs, flowers, costumes, or choreography.

The blend of "prom" and "proposal" reflects how these invitations have evolved from simple questions into theatrical performances, sometimes rivaling marriage proposals in scale: He spelled out "PROM?" in rose petals on her car.
