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.

Here are some tips for quinceanera hairstyles, every sweet 15 is an excuse to really go to town, and the more glam and glitz, the better! You ve got the dress, the shoes, the makeup, the new jewelry… you ve booked the limo, and that bubble of excitement is already starting to rise up inside your stomach… Now all you have to do is work out how to fix your hair! And a beautiful quinceanera hairstyle is crucial for your overall appearance.
60 s influenced styles are back in fashion, but there are many other ways to make your quinceanera hairstyle one to remember. Here s the long and short of it!
Short hair:
Chics with short hair are lucky because their quinceanera hairstyle will take half the time to do! Short hair is the best type if you want to have a really out of this world flicks at the nape of your neck - think funky pixie! All you need is some hair wax - apply a little and tease out the ends of your hair so that the style frames your face. Alternatively, short haired girlies can sweep their bangs to the side, and pin it with a pretty hair clip. This sophisticated look will work even better if you pick delicate hair accessories that coordinate with your dress and corsage.
Medium hair:
Those of you with medium length hair may think that there s nothing interesting they can do with their hair. But stop and think; you re actually the ideal length because you can make your hair look longer, or shorter, fairly easily. To make your hair look shorter, take small sections, and carefully twist them towards the back of your head. Pin the ends where you would normally have a ponytail, and tease the ends of the twists out away from your head to create cute flicks. To make you hair look longer, attach a quality fake ponytail, and fix your hair like the long haired girls…
Long hair:
You girls with long hair can chose from several quinceanera hair styles. You could leave it down (flowing locks are always great). But if you want to pin it back, remember that it doesn t just have to be a ponytail. Put your hair into a ponytail first of all - (your hair will be too heavy without that extra support, and the style is most likely to slip). Then take the ends of your hair and twist it or curl it, and pin it to the back of your head. You could even have lots of tiny plaits, intertwine them, and then pin them into a beautiful bun shape to form a kind of crown. Sensational!
Curly girlies:
Delicately curled tendrils work especially well if you have an off the shoulder dress. If your hair isn t naturally curly, you can cheat! Use a heat protective spray, and carefully curl the ends of the hair into traditional ringlets. Not only will this new style frame your face but it will create quite an impact.. curly girlies always look romantic!
Whatever you do, remember the golden rules. No matter which style you choose, make sure that your hair is shiny, bouncy, and healthy looking. Avoid the temptation of fixing your hair with half a bottle of hairspray. Hair which is weighed down with too much product always looks crusty and dull. Remember, sophistication and coordination is the key.
Any hairstyle for a Quinceanera girl should be stunning and secure. It needs to capture the maturity of the new young lady while standing up to a night of celebrating and dancing. It also never hurts to choose a Quinceanera hairstyle that makes you look fantastic.
You need to decide what hair accessories you want to wear before deciding on your exact hairstyle. If you’re going to wear a tiara or crown, your hair will need a flat area for the adornment to sit. If you plan on wearing just pretty gems scattered in your hair, you can use almost any upswept style.
Tiara Twist
This upswept and twisted hair style is perfect for any Quinceanera party. Pull your hair into a low ponytail with your hands. Twist the ponytail tightly upwards towards the crown on your head. Pin the twisted hair in place and leave the ends loose on top of the head. Take the loose ends and create tons of tiny spiral curls. Use some hairspray to keep everything in place. Slip your crown or tiara on in front of the curls and secure with pins.
There are a few Quinceanera hairstyles you can create with variations on the basic ponytail tiara twist hairstyle. Separate your hair into two sections and twist each one up the side of your head. Bring them together at the top of your head, curls the ends, and secure with pins and hairspray. Or you can go with four sections, two in back and two in front. Twist up to the top of your head, gather the hair together, curl the ends and secure.
Braided Crown
If you don’t plan on wearing a crown or tiara, think about making your own crown with a fancy braid. Pull you hair up into a high ponytail. Use ribbons that match your dress and braid your hair with them. Take the long, fancy braid and wrap it in a circle around your head. Secure in place with plenty of bobby pins and hairspray. Pull a few loose tendrils out around your face to soften the look.
You can use ribbon, flowers or even tiny barrettes to help dress up a braided crown hairstyle. Find tiny, gem barrettes to scatter in the braid itself. Find some fresh, small flowers and stick the stems into the braid. You can even use the ribbon to create pretty hanging strands down the back of your head and neck
But I m sure, whatever you decide to do, you ll all look like the quinceanera queen! Soon i’m posting a ton of hairstyles for quinceaneras, keep coming back..
Quinceanera Tradition

The Quinceañera or Quince años (turning fifteen years old) is, for Hispanics, a girl’s celebration of her fifteenth birthday, which is commemorated in a different way from her other birthdays. Technically a “Quinceaños” is the birthday and the term “Quinceañera” refers to the female celebrant, but in practice it has become synonymous with the celebration as well. The celebration highlights God, family, friends, music, food, and dance. The celebration traditionally begins with a religious ceremony. A reception is held in the celebrant’s home or a banquet hall. The festivities include food and music, and in most, a choreographed waltz (Vals) or another dance performed by the Quinceañera and her court. The quinceanera, the young woman, usually wears a pink or white dress at the festival.
It is customary for the Quinceañera to receive some or all of the following items for her ceremony: a tiara, other jewelry (such as bracelets or rings), a cross or medal, a Bible, prayer book, rosary, or scepter.
In some ceremonies, the girl will be wearing flats and will change into heels during the party to symbolize her coming-of-age.
Besides referring to the festivities, the word “Quinceañera” is also used to refer to the young woman whose 15th birthday is being celebrated (analogous to the word cumpleañera for “birthday girl”). Other cultural equivalents to the quinceañera in the United States are the Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebrations for Jewish boys and girls turning 13, the debutante ball, the cotillion and the sweet sixteen birthday parties.
In the Hispanic tradition, the celebration is a festive gathering with relatives and friends, often preceded by a church mass celebrated in honor of the birthday girl. For most Hispanics, the “Quinceaños” celebration marks the transition from girlhood to young womanhood, and is the time when a “niña” (girl) is to begin being referred to as a “señorita” (Miss). However, in the social Hispanic tradition, girls become officially recognized as a “señorita” when they are 21, at which time they may be referred to as “mujeres” (women). As in most Latino cultures, Mexican families proudly celebrate the fifteen birthday for girls as an entry in to young womanhood.
Typically the celebrant’s court is comprised of Godparents and a young gentleman known as the “Chambelan,” the Quinceañera’s companion and date for the evening. The Chambelan’s sole purpose is to have the first dance with the Quinceañera, a traditional ballroom waltz called a “Vals”. This dance tradition is based on a mixture of Mexican, French, Spanish and English ballroom dances, and is imbued with the symbolism of the Roman Catholic church. It is uncommon not to have the blessings of a church or priest who offers mass before the Vals Celebration.
The Chambelan initiates the Vals by requesting a dance with the Quinceañera to a classical song, followed by dances requested with her by her father or another close male relative such as an uncle or older brother, and then her Godfather. Following these initial presentation dances, the guests join the dance floor as well. Some Latino cultures have the girl’s first dance begin with her father as her partner, and then he is cut in on by her escort.
Godparents play a significant role in the preparations for the Quinceaños, often handling arrangements for the party, church and celebration. The event is the culmination of their responsibilities to the church to oversee the religious upbringing of the girl, and thus they are a core part of the family in the celebration, and traditionally remain lifelong close friends of the family.
The influence of mixed modern life has changed some of the celebrations, but for many Hispanic-American families, they still preserve these traditions and the common goal of celebrating the young woman’s fifteenth birthday and acknowledging her transition to young womanhood. In some Hispanic cultures the Court will even include 14 young women friends and relatives representing each preceding year of her life, and 15 chambelanes as well.
