Planning a quinceanera is always a big task, even more if you have not done one before. Well we’re here to help, feel free to browse our site for more tips, ideas, comments and insider stuff to all quinceanera. Well, lets get started. First of all we’re going to need a date, so start looking for reception halls in your area, one thing we need to know before looking reception sites is an idea of how many people it will hold. So we need the your number of guests, bigger quinces need a bigger salon right! Also don’t forget to include the dance area, check that the reception site has a good space for your corte de honor to dance their dances, surprise dance, etc.

The Quinceanera Reception Sites

With your number of guests in hand, ask around hotels, banquet halls, if possible go look at the place before deciding on it. Just ask if your date is available, but don’t sign the contract yet, because if you want a religious ceremony before it, then you must find a church close to your city that will do it for you in the same day. I guess locking the place and church would have to be done together, nowadays is becoming very difficult to synchronize these two. But with a little patience and time it can be done.

The Church / Religious Ceremony

If you want a traditional religious ceremony on your quinceanera, then the best thing to do is lock your church date first and then with plenty of time look for a salon. When it comes to locking places, time will be your only friend, ask the church administrator to lock your date in advance, many do it even one year earlier. Many new quinces don’t even have a religious ceremony anymore, many don’t do it because of the synchronizing dates hassle, or just because they’re not religious enough. Many others that really want to have one, do it in a different church and just have a blessing by a pastor. Many others don’t want to pay for it since some catholic churches have a very high price. Whether you’re having one or not, it is cool both ways.

Padrinos

This is very important, make your list very early in the planning process. Don’t be shy this is a tradition, and a very good one, it allows us to have many quinceaneras in this economy.

The Quinceanera Dress

Everything gets easier after picking the right quinceanera dress. The next step in your quinceanera planning project is to pick your quince dress, the color of your dress will dictate the theme colors, or at least give you some ideas for the decorations, favors, invitations, etc. When picking out your dress the big question is the color, what’s your favorite one? Turquoise, Hot Pink, Lime, Purple, Black or even Orange. Should I buy the dress on a store or online? Well, online is a little cheaper but, it may not fit you perfectly, and then you will have to pay for fixing it.

The Choreographer

Hire a choreographer for your traditional dances, baile sorpresas. I’ve seen choreographers work with a group of damas and chambelanes for as long as 6 months. It all depends how many hours per week you guys practice. The more people you have in your corte de honor the more difficult it is, since moms have to drive them to your home or place to where they practice. Also, you have to feed them all, or at least buy some snacks and drinks. Hiring a choreographer is becoming very expensive that’s why some people make up the dances themselves, or have a sister that had their quinceanera already, and is a little creative with dances and is up to the challenge.

Photo and Video

Finding a really good one is very important, this will be the only thing left after everything comes to an end. If you don’t want any surprises, ask for a sample video, a good videographer and photograher is not shy to show his work. Always allow plenty of time for the production of your video and photos, video editing and good photo retouching takes some time.

Catering

Many people do their own food preparation and serving, but at the end say, “I should not done that, I din’t have time to enjoy my party”. The Hispanic tradition is to serve your guests even if they arrive the party at 11 p.m. How crazy is that right! If you’re going to do this, always hire a waiter to do the job for you, or ask some relative to help you with that. Of course there are companies that do this for you too, they prepare the food, and serve it.

The DJ

Ask your video guy to recommend you a DJ. Or hire one that you know from a friends party. Hire one that has a good light show, or plenty of lights to make the place feel like a party. When it comes to hiring dj’s, ask about their onstage personality, and see if you like it. This is important since, sometimes people say. “No hablaba nada” or “Man, He didn’t shut up”. This is very true, some people want all the introductions there can be, announcement for every part of the event, etc. and many people want the dj, just to dj and be silent.

The Quinceanera Invitations

There is no party without guests right! Order your invitations 2-3 months in advance, people usually do it in 2 months in advance, but many others do it the same month, please don’t leave it to the very last 2 weeks, since you have to allow one week for production and another week for shipping. Many homemade invitations take even longer to make, allow 2-3 weeks for production and one week for shipping. If you’re ordering online, double check your names and last names, since this is the thing the stores don’t change. If you’re planning on having your padrinos on your invitations, choose an invitation with plenty of space, if not any invitation will do.

Ok, I think you can make a party now, you have all the basics, a dress, a place, the food, the dj, some one to video tape it, guests, of course there are many things left to do, but we’ll talk about them later. Feel free to browse around and read many other of our posts, happy quinceanera planning!

Invitation Wording Ideas and Frases

Quinceanera invitations Language? Yes, if you’re planning your quince this question is always asked. should i order my invitations in english or spanish, but there is no right answer, I guess if the mayority of your guests speak spanish then spanish is a good option.

Is it possible to order both english and spanish invitations? Yes, but it is more expensive. A good idea is to include both english and spanish wording on the same invite.

Should I order respond cards or RSVP cards? Respond cards are smaller cards that go with your invitation, the wording usually in it are your contact info so that the guest can contact you and tell you if they’re attending. These small cards usually come with a small envelope so that your guests can send them back by mail, but nowadays the cards have your phone number, email to contact you. The main idea behind the respond cards is that, once you know how many people are attending then you can order the exact number of plates with your catering company. These rsvp cards or respond cards look very elegant, but if you are in a tight budget then include the contact info on your quinceanera invitations.

Does the sponsor list go in the invitation? This is up to you, but nowadays this list is bigger and therefore won’t fit on your quince invite. Many people also include a separate sheet of paper with the list, and many people left the list for the video only.

When should I order my invitations? If your misa and salon dates are ready then you are ready. People usually do it two to four months in advance, time is your friend here, remember that.

Invitation with my picture? If your quinceanera invitations have a picture, remember that if you’re sending a pix taken by a professional then you’re probably also need to send a copy of the copyright release, basically saying that they can use the picture for your invitations. Ask your photographer for it, this sometimes delays the ordering process so, beware to have it ready. If you took the pic yourself then don’t worry about it.

How many invitations to order? Order 100, for a normal party, ordering less will save you pennies. 30 tables or more then order 150 to 175. It is always a good idea to order an additional 25 invitations, because if you reorder later, the expense is %50 more. Always ask your friend that just had a quinceanera and ask her how many invites she ordered. If you have a bunch of padrinos then order at least 200.

Quinceanera wording example: This is a very basic wording example, you may also add a frase at the beginning of the wording.

El señor (NOMBRE DE TU PAPA)y
la señora (NOMBRE DE TU MAMA)
se complacen en invitarles
a la celebracion de los
Quince Años de su hija
(NOMBRE DE LA QUINCEANERA)

Simples Adornos para tus Quince

Quinceanera Decorations

Las tiras de tela o de otros materiales son buenos complementos que pueden estar distribuidos por algunos lugares de tu fiesta, lo que le dará un toque sutil de encanto y festividad a la celebración de quince.

El theme es que más allá de la decoración de las mesas y de las sillas que muchas veces la realiza un proveedor de estos servicios, existen ornamentos o adornos que complementan todo este arreglo para que tu fiesta luzca bien padre.

Tambien puedes manda hacer estos arreglos, sin embargo, con algo de ingenio se pueden elaborar bonitos adornos con poco presupuesto y poniendo algo de esfuerzo para elaborarlos con nuestras propias manos. Por ejemplo, las cadenetas son bastante simples de hacer y pueden ir a lo largo de las paredes o sobre los bordes de las paredes para darle un aire más festivo al ambiente central.

Lo clasico es utilizar globos a los cuales se les ata algunas cintas decorativas y se les coloca también en paredes, colgando de los techos, tras las sillas, en el pasillo de ingreso de la quinceañera, entre otros lugares. Todo esto se ve bonito pero no pongas muchos.

No te olvides de adornos tan sencillos como simples arreglos florales que tú misma puedes elaborar con flores de tu propio jardín. Existen tambien las serpentinas que pudes hacer con tus propias manos y hasta con papeles de colores a manera de origami, los mismos que puedes distribuir adecuadamente por los espacios de tu salón.

Decoraciones para Quinceaneras

Decoraciones para quinceaneras – Las decoraciones para el salon de tus quince es lo primera impesion de tu fiesta para tus invitados. Las decoraciones deben de hacer juego al tema de tu fiesta.
