Planning a Quinceanera Party


A quinceanera is a very special and important birthday party for young women that turn 15. Although the quinceanera is a Mexican tradition, it can be celebrated by all races. A quinceanera is probably the most special birthday of a young woman in Mexico as it is the time where a girl transforms from a young girl to a young woman. Quinceaneras are supposed to be huge and extravagant parties, so if your daughter is turning 15, you consider these tips while planning your quinceanera party.


 Quinceanera Invitations

In order to create the best quinceanera party, you will need to give away quality quinceanera invitations to all your guests. The theme of your invitations should reflect the theme of your party. In your invitations, you should consider placing photos of the celebrant in them, like a photo of them as a baby evolving to the young woman they are today. Also, be sure to write down the dress code, events location, and the name of the celebrant.

Find the Best Venue

Aside from quinceanera invitations, you must also find the best venue. The venue is probably one of the most important things you need to look into when planning a quinceanera party. Your daughter’s party can be boring or memorable from the location alone! Since a young girl turns 15 only once, it is strongly recommended to select the best venue you can afford. By selecting a great venue, you are ensuring that your daughter will have beautiful memories for the rest of her life.

Choose the Right Theme

It is also important to choose the best party theme for your daughter’s quinceanera party. Although finding a venue and quinceanera invitations are important, choosing the right theme is also something you need to keep in mind when planning a quinceanera party. Some themes you could consider choosing are a princess theme, fairytale theme, and a pink theme. For the princess theme, you can have a bunch of actual Disney princesses decorated throughout the venue to create the perfect and enchanting atmosphere. For the fairytale theme, you can have your guests dress in white and have the decorations make your venue look like a magical castle. For the pink theme, you can have your daughter dress up in pink and have pink decorations while the guests are forbidden to wear pink in order to make the celebrant stands out.

Get the Perfect Dress

When planning a quinceanera party, it is also important that you get the perfect quinceanera dress for your daughter. If you want a unique and a one of a kind dress, you could hire an actual designer to make her dress. If you can't afford to hire one, just buy a regular dress and do your own personal alterations.

Hire the Perfect Catering Service

It is also important to hire the best catering service that serves food that your daughter loves. Most catering services allow you to choose the food that you want to serve without having to spend too much, so be sure to hire a service that gives that option.
