For example, when is it ok to use "pro" and "pra"?

Is this accepted in formal writing or only in everyday speech?

we use "pro" and "pra" only in everyday speech. The correct/formal is "para um" ou "para uma".
E.g.: Nós fomos pra festa
Nós fomos para a festa
Samething for "num" and "numa". The formal way is "em um" and "em uma"
E.g. Eles estavam num carro
Eles estavam em um carro
