The Quinceanera Guide For Invitations, Dresses and All About Sweet 15, Quince Anos

Quinceanera Invitations

Quinceanera Invitations with Photo

Do you want your quinceanera invitations with or without your photo? Many quinceaneras even put their dresses on and take their picture for the invitations.  Many quinceaneras don’t want to show the dress before the actual sweet 15 party.   I have seen invitations with the pictures of the chambelanes, of course these are home made invitations.  This looks cool but takes more work, but not impossible.

The traditional verse for your invitations:

El Sr. Jorge Rojas y Maria Rojas

tienen el honor de invitarlo a Usted y a su

Apreciable familia a la celebracion de los

Quince Años de su hija

Carla Rojas

Este 4 de julio del 2010

a las cuatro de la tarde

en la iglesia

“Nuestra Sra. de Los Caminos”

123 Main St., Greensboro, SC

Recepcion a las 6:00 p.m.

en el salon

“Magnolia Hallroom”

1254  spring garden st, Greensboro, SC

This is the most used verse for your quinceanera invitations .  So another question that girls have is, Do we put the two last names.  Many quinceaneras just put one, but it is up to you and your parents.  On some invitations even the last name is left out, so basically anything goes.

Always double check the wording of your quinceanera invitations.  Some times the error is in your own name, and you don’t even see it.  If possible write the wording in a sheet of paper and double check it, also give the paper to someone else to also double check it.  Make sure you take your time to write the info of your invitation with a writing that other people will understand.  If you have an ugly writing, give it to somebody else.   Also a good rule of thunb for ordering your quinceanera invitations is that you have to make the order with at least 2 months in advance, sometimes  things go wrong, and as I have said before, time is your only friend.

Invitaciones para quinceanera

Invitaciones de Quinceaneras - Esta invitacion viene en papael color rosa, algo muy diferente. El color de letra puede venir del color que quieras, el rosado no es recomendable para que se pueda leer con claridad la invitacion. Estas invitaciones traen dos paneles para tu informacion, en un panel puede venir la lista de chambelanes y padrinos o si no tienes padrinos, puedes incluir un bonito verso, recuerda que para que te queden bien cool, procura que el verso no este muy largo.  Este tipo de invitaciones pueden venir con una tarjeta de respuesta.  Muy util para cuando necesitas saber cuanta gente va a atender a tu fiesta.  La tradicion con las tarjetas de respuesta es que supuestamente tus invitados te la deven de regresar aclarando si atenderan a tu fiesta o no, tambien les puedes preguntar cuanta gente va a atender, o hasta que platillo de comida quieren que les sirvan.  Hoy en dia no creo que te regresen estas tarjetitas, nuestro consejo es de que mejor incluyas tu numero de telefono y email para que se comuniquen contigo. Estas invitaciones de quinceaneras tambien las puedes personalizar con el nombre de tus invitados en la ceja del sobre, algo que se ve bien elegante

Quinceanera Invitation Info -  When are you ready to order your invitations?

If you have booked your party hall date and church date then you’re ready.  Having those dates booked is the key.  After that you need to decide what times to put on your invite.  For church service you usually put the real time or a half hour before.  The reception time is a little trickier.  Don’t invite your guests too early, guests want to eat and drink right away so be prepared to do that.

Please have ready the correct address of church and reception site.  If you have guests coming from different states then this is a must to avoid a hundred calls to your cell phone.  If you’re including the list of padrinos then have this ready too as well as the correct names of the damas and chambelanes. Make sure the invitation info is correct, I’ve seen people make mistakes on their own last name.  Check it twice.

Quinceanera invitations wording -  Here is a cool sample of wording for your invites, just replace the red text with your own info

Yo Damiela
con la bendición de Dios, y el amor que me han
brindado mis padres me siento orgullosa de haber
llegado a esta época de mi vida, cuando los sueños
de una niña se convierten en las realidades de una
mujer.
Junto con mis padres
Armando y Erika Flores
les hacemos una cordial invitación a la
celebración
de una Misa de Acción de Gracias con motivo
de mis Quince Años que se efectuará

Quince invitations are usually written in spanish.  But the invitation wording can also be bilingual.  Ordering separate language invites can be expensive.

spanish invitations

Some invitations have plenty of space for english and spanish wording.  If you decide to do a bilingual invite then make sure to keep your verse short, just in case you have a long list of chambelanes or padrinos.  For spanish invitations wording check this post: Quinceanera Invitation Wording

The perfect quinceanera invitation is not the most expensive or the cheapest. This invitation has to be unique in your area. Don’t get the one everyone is getting for their quince. Also avoid the stress and order them at least 3 months in advance. Sometimes things go wrong and time is your only friend when it comes to your invitations. The perfect quinceanera invitation should be elegant and unique, and best of all has to fit your theme, and i’m not just talking about color but wording or poems. If your theme is stars, then find a poem that talks about stars, or make your own poem, get a poem that you like and stick in there the word stars, soon you will find out, that it is easier than you think to personalize that perfect invitation.

Many quinceaneras also like to add a thank you verse for their parents, this is cool. But make it small, the invitation will look too crowded, and always remember that sometimes all the padrinos list have to go in the invitation too.  The quincenera that thinks ahead simpre vale por dos.
How about blank invitations?  These are cool too.  You can visit your nearest arts supply store and buy some blank paper and make your own quince invitations.  As I have said, the most expensive are not always the perfect invitations.  Blank invitations or handmade quinceanera invitations are perfect for when your theme is very unique and the only way to match your invites to your theme is by doing the invitations yourself in the computer.  I don’t always like to advice to make your own invitations to save money, becasuse sometimes you spend even more.  For example sometimes you’re almost out of ink and halfway of printing your invites you have to buy a new set of inks.  My $150 dollar printer has 6 ink cartridges and each one cost around $15 dollars , that’s $90 dollars for the ink alone.   And trust me when you’re printing invites with photos , the ink goes fast.  Ok, how about personalization?  Yes you can not beat that.  You can make half in english and half in spanish, something that would be very expensive when your order them to be professionally printed.

I had a dream as a child,
a wish that I would have
a party in a ballroom
The big day has arrived
I thank God
for allowing my parents
to give me this party today

For elegant quinceanera invitations don’t include the whole list of 80 padrinos on your invitation.  Less text is more elegant.  Many quinceanera are now leaving the padrinos’ list for the video.  If you’re doing your invitation yourself on the computer then remember  not to use all the colors of the rainbow for your quinceanara invitations.  Choose up to 3 lettering styles.  The more lettering styles you have the less elegant your invitation will look.  This rule also appies to the number of colors you use for your lettering.  Using only one color will look more elegant.   Also with lettering styles, try some cursive lettering for an elegant look, but not so cursive that people won’t be able to read the invitation.  Use a different font or lettering style for your name, this usually looks nice.
