Finding that perfect quinceanera dress may seem like a difficult thing, but we’ll break it down for you, give you some pointers and tips, so this process will be pleasant and a nice experience.

Finding the Right Quinceanera Dress Color

Yes, the most important thing is the color, after deciding this, everything is much easier.  Ask yourself, What’s my favorite color?  Many top choices are: Hot Pink or Magenta which is a strong pink.  Purple is very modern too, you will see it everywhere.  Turquoise never goes out of style, if you’re not familiar with turquoise,  the turquoise color is like a cyan in your home printer but with a little bit of yellow, to make it a little greener, but not green at all.

There are many other dress colors like: Yellow, White, Black, Gold or even new combinations of two colors or even multiple colors.   The quinceanera dress color is very important since, this color will probably will take over your entire decoration and accessories.  Now,  a very good tip will be that, lets say that you choose purple as your color, it is allow to decorate your tables, etc.  with another color to complement the purple, let’s say brown.  So your decorations can be purple and brown, they don’t have to be only purple, only purple will be the traditional, and some might say not so modern or up to date.

We bring you many modern quinceanera invitations.  Finding the perfect invitaion may seem like a diffucult task, don’t worry, we’re here to help.  On this post, we’ll talk about the new inviations, the modern ones.

Zebra or animal prints inviations are very modern.  Check the following Invitation.

 You can buy these inviations on QuinceaneraInvites.com, this is numer 191, comes with silver cords.  Price is vere cheap.  This is a scroll, also acrolls can be handed inside boxes, bottles, etc.

This second quince invitations lools very elegant and modern.  It is a ticket invitation, very nice and colorful. Your party details go on the front, and also has more space on the back for additional info like list of damas, chambelanes, padrinos, an extra photo or poem.  That’s one the very importan things to look for when buying your initations, in some quinceanera invitations the space is limited, it is not a bad thing, but sometimes you need that extra room. Well this one has plenty of space, the colors are changeable to whatever color you want , it is shown on hot pink and lime.   It goes well with a masquerade themed party, but We have been told, that you can take the mask off and put something else, like a picture, if you don’t like the invitations with the masquerade. The ticket goes inside the silver box, and the invitation box is wrapped with a silver cord, we  love them.

Quinceanera Invitation

This last quinceanera invitation is a mardi gras themed credit card, includes your picture and all your party details on the front. The size is like a real credit card, the back message can also be personalized or changed.  This is one invitation that you won’t be able to list all your padrinos if you have a lot.  Some padrinos or your list of damas or chambelanes will fit just right but any kind of big list or big poem will be difficult to put in there.

The bad economy has brought down videography and photography prices, but at the end you will get what you pay for really since a good edited video takes 40 to 80 hours of work. It means that nice video will take 1-2 weeks for editing.  The following things will also affect your video prices, so have them in mind when you want a good video or want a video on a budget.

Hours of Video Taping

If the video guys has to be there early and has to go late, prepare to pay more.  Also if you had a photo or video session before the event date then this is more expensive, since the video guys have to work two days instead of one. 

Locations

Usually the more locations the more money the video , since it takes more time and hussle .  Also when doing a nice video, more locations means more time editing.

Video and Photo Package

Many talented video guys also do photography, if your package has photography included than the price will go up to 40%

Degrees of Editing and Special Effects

Since editing and doing special effects takes the most time of producing a video, many video guys offer many levels of editing: Light, Normal, Pro.  just to give you an example, believe me you get what you pay for, since doing a nice custom special effect of something very simple but that looks cool takes hours to render and edit.

Experience

Yes, you pay more for experience, just like in any other profession.  The new guys will charge less but will usually employ cheaper equipment or even lack some equipment, and most of all the experience, experienced guys will  grab that special momment  or even will make it happen.  Sometimes for new guys is hard to master shooting and editing, since they’re too different animals.

Number of Professionals

If you hire a company that is made out of one one guy that shoots video and takes pictures by himself, then you will probably get a lower price but video taping and taking pictures is a job for at least two people.   Many companies that want to offer a nice price and an ok video, hire a helper for photography, since hiring another professional is more expensive.  Hiring these companies will probably save you money but again you get what you pay for, and sometimes the companies with more experience will do a decent job. 

Number of Cameras

There are some locations that require at least two cameras, but a video production with two cameras is more expensvie since editing is longer and there is an extra camera guy the company has to pay.  This is only for video, since photographers usually don’t need another helper.

The Extras

There are other things that will make your video look even better, but will sometimes be included on your package or offered as an extra.

• Pre Photo or Video Session – Will take place before the main date, these photos will be used to make sure you have a nice photo session, just in case there is no time on your main date, these galleries will also enhance your video.
• Photo Montage -  A montage can be made from your child pictures or pre photo session, it can be presented the day of your quince too.
• Video Projection – A photo montage can be projected the day of your quince.
• Photo Poster -  A large poster usually placed at the entrance.
• Photo Album – A nice large photo album created with the best looking pictures of your party, many sizes available.
• Extra Videos - It is always nice to give away a free video to family and padrinos.
• Mini Photo Studio -  A portable photo studio placed on your reception hall for you and your guest to get a nice looking picture.
• Photo Retouching/ Special Effects -  Several photos combined into one with special effects and messages

This is a very importan thing right, if you choose a nice hairstyle for your quinceanera.  After many years of working with quinceaneras, I have seen many things, keep reading and maybe this article will help you on your special day.

The Right Quinceanera Hairstyle

The right quinceanera hairstyle is different for every girl, if your hairdo has to be perfect then we recommend you get it done for your before picture session, so your hairstlyst can practice it and you can experience it beforehand

Hairstyles for Girls with a Lot of Hair

Many quinceaneras have a lot of hair, your hairstyle will take more time, if possible measure the time before hand so you’ll know how many hours it takes to do your hairstyle.

Hairstyles for Cury Hair

Curly hair is difficult to handle, and will take more time to do than straight hair.  Consult your hairstylist about this.

Where to do your hairstyle, home or salon?

I reccomend doing at home, since it will take a lot of stress out and don’t mention time.  Your mom won’t have to drive you to the hairstylist.  On your special date every minute counts, you’ll be sorprised how the time flies.  Also the video guys will have a chance to video take you doing the hair and makeup, sometimes this is not done because of the hussle of driving to other locations and many small video packages don’t include going to extra locations, if you plan a good reasonable hour to start your hair and makeup you will have them on video guaranteed.

Who’s First?

It seems it is an easy question but I’ve seen many quinces ruined becuase of bad time planning.  The quinceanera should do their hairstyle first, don’t do the damas or mom’s or the tias or sobrinas.  This is why it is important to know how many minutes or hours it takes to do your hairstyle so you can plan ahead.   If you don’t follow this rule, you will end up 15 minutes before the church service starts wihout make up or hairstyle, and on top of that it takes your limo 30 minutes to get there, meaning you will be at least 45 minutes late with a bad make up and very ugly sad face on your video and pics.

The best Hour to start doing your Hairstyle

This all comes down to as early as possible but not too early too.  The video guys will not be there at 6 am, since they have to video tape all day, unless you’re paying a little extra. And this is another point where you can save on your video price, all you have to do is plan ahead.

So there you have it, some tips for your next quinceanera hairstyle, as you can see, it is not the syle that is the most important but how well you manage your time on your special date.

Many people have problems sending email with an attachment, I guess people don’t use emails as much as we used to.  Another way to send a picture, it can be via phone, I think the phone makes it a little easier, but be careful sometimes the pictures send over the phone are cut, or resized to send the image faster, whenever you make the image smaller, then the resolution will decrease and it will not be able to be printed right, it will be a little blurry or a lot.

A way to make sure you’re sending a good picture is the final size of the message, if the picture is less than 50 k, then it is too small, and i’m talking the minimum here, whenever you’re printing somethin, the larger the image the better results.  So here is a little guideline of image size, final results comparison.

0 k to 50k  = Super Bad Quality For Printing

50 k to 150 k = Bad Quality

150k to 500 k = Ok  for Small Size Stuff

500 k  to 1 mb = Ok but can be better

1 mb – 2 mb = Ok

3 mb – 8 mb = EXELLENT

Now if the picture is blurry because your hand was shaky than, no matter how big the image, it won’t print right, blurry is blurry.  If you don’t have a special camera for pictures and you only have a phone follow the following easy to do steps to make sure you get a nice picture even with the cheapest phones.

1.  Turn your resolution setting to HIGH, or whatever max value you can get.

2. Turn your QUALITY value to HIGH too, some phones use values: QUALITY, RESOLUTION, SIZE, in any of these values, turn them to the MAX.

3. Take your pictures outsite on the shade

4. When you press the Shutter button to take the picture wait for 10 seconds extra and hold your breath.

5. Please Don’t cut the Quinceaneras head,  Include all the head and give it some extra room in all sides.

6. Tranfer your image to the pc for emailing (to make sure picture are  not resized when sending over the phone)

7. And don’t forget to SMILE, You’re going to be on the invitations!
