​

GUESTS/Plus One:  Homeschooled teens are permitted to bring a Plus One.  Parent-approved opposite gender Plus One may come if there is room.  Your Plus One can be any teen between the ages of 13-19 regardless of school/homeschool. 

Dates are neither encouraged nor prohibited.  If your teen would like to bring a plus one of the opposite gender and you feel comfortable with it - this is permissible.  NO SAME GENDER PLUS ONES.  CHEF does not encourage “dating” and we would like to be clear that this is by no means “a date-type” event.  No family should feel like their teen needs to find a plus one to go with them to this formal.  In fact, many (if not most) will probably not have a guest.  

 

FORMAL ATTIRE IS REQUIRED:  DRESS CODE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED! 

 

Boys must wear a coat, dress shirt and tie, slacks and nice shoes.  A sports coat is fine.  A suit is fine.  Absolutely no shorts, jeans, t-shirts, polos, ripped/distressed clothing, or old tennis shoes can be worn.  New dress tennis shoes are permitted.

 

Girls must wear a dress: Floor length dress preferred, (not mandatory).  Other options: prom dress (mid-thigh or longer, high/low) and dress shoes or heels.  No pants, slacks, or pant suits.  Anyone wearing anything skintight, see-thru, shorter than mid-thigh or inappropriately low cut will not be permitted to enter the formal.  Dresses with high leg slits or plunging necklines will not be permitted.  Strapless is permitted, two-piece dress is permitted as long as it’s not a crop top with midriff exposed. 

 

If questionable, feel free to email for pre-approval to chefgnopresident@gmail.com.  I would like to reiterate that modesty should be at the forefront.  We will check dress code at the door, and WE WILL TURN AWAY those who don't follow it.

​

 

MUSIC: appropriate (non-explicit) pop, dance, hip hop, and alternative music will be played throughout the night. Song requests will be taken beforehand and previewed for appropriateness.  Dancing is permitted (and expected)!  Song requests with suggestive lyrics, drug use, drinking, or language will not be played.  Clean versions will be played when possible! Please use the link below to request songs!!!  You can submit multiple requests!


 

PICTURES: Pictures will be taken from 5:00pm-6:00pm.  We will have a professional photographer offering various picture packages that you can purchase. Please plan to arrive at 5pm if you would like professional pictures taken. We will only offer pictures for one hour. You must be in line no later than 5:45pm.  No pictures will be taken after 6pm so please plan your group photos accordingly. 

 

FOOD: Light party food, hors d’oeuvres, dessert, and refreshments will be available.  We are working on having food donated.  If you have any contacts with a local restaurant that would be interested in donating food, please reach out.  We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and can provide a tax-deductible receipt.
