What to Order For Your Quinceanera
Fabian Ramirez asked:
So you are Quince anos and about to start planning your fifteen. You are probably overwhelmed with the amount of stuff you have to buy for your Quinceanera. Well don't worry because little by little you can plan the whole thing as a family saving you hundreds and sometimes thousands.
Quinceanera Dresses
The first thing that you will want to start with is your quinceanera dress. The reason behind this is simple, you want to know the color scheme that you will use for your quinceanera party. Also if you are going to have a Chambalan stand in your quinceanera, you want to know what color tuxedos your guys should order.
Quinceanera Invitations
One other aspect to consider is invitations. Order these early because you know us Hispanics, we do so much last minute. You want to make sure you send out your quinceanera invitation two months before your quince, the latest should be one month. Remember people have busy schedules and they want to attend but give them time to put it on their calendar. Plus you want them to have time to purchase a gift for you. Some will easy say they want to sponsor a piece of your quinceanera party.
Quinceanera Sponsors
Ask some of your family members first if they would be willing to sponsor one aspect of your quinceanera. Don't go overboard by asking hundreds but ask if they would put money towards your food budget or maybe your cake budget. You'd be surprised how many will want to give you money.
Quinceanera Music
If you are going to have a baile (dance) be sure you get a good DJ or a house band to play. These two options are the best and ask around for recommendations. Maricahi at a Quinceanera is always a hit. I had some at my wedding and everyone in the hotel that wasn't Hispanics was wishing they were because the music was so moving (Vicente's Volver Volver is a crowd favorite).
Quinceaneras
Attend other fifteens to see what other girls are doing. It's okay to be creative but don't go overboard. Remember to add that Mexican culture in your quinceanera. At the same time remember you will have 1st and 3rd generation Hispanics attend so don't make it all English or all Spanish, try to go Bilingual as much as you can at your quince.
Quince Anos
You only turn 15 yrs old once so be sure to have a good time and don't worry if little things go wrong. Remember that having your quinceanera is about bring family together to celebrate your womanhood so let it be just that, a celebration.
