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

Handmade quinceanera invitations can be a fun project. The sky is the limit on how creative you can go. Many invitations are easy to do, but some others are very challenging. Get some paper and get your printer ready. This project is not recommended if you have more than 100 invitations. If your design has a lot of color and you’re printing on regular paper, then don’t forget to select regular paper on your printer settings. This will save on some ink. Photographic paper usually uses more ink, but it looks much nicer and pictures just look perfect. A bad thing about photo paper is that it is very thick. If you are using translucent paper, then try to decrease the amount of ink your printer uses. Try not to glue anything to the paper before you print your verse, you will damage your printer. Remember that any font smaller than 12 is hard to read. If you’re doing a small quince invitation then try not to go below 10 pt. Don’t use too many fonts, or your invites will look cheap. Try not to use no more than 3. If you’re cutting paper and if your budget allows it, then buy a paper cutter. Cutting invitations with plain scissors will look not as professional. Practice cutting on some other paper, and don’t waste your invitation paper. You can also buy already cut paper but it is more expensive. If you’re using already cut paper then check your printer specs, usually you can not insert paper in your printer if it is smaller than 4×4. Check your printer for the exact size. Handmade quinceanera invitations can be a fun project, but do it with a lot of time in advance, just in case you decide to buy them instead.

When it comes to your quinceanera invitations, time is your only friend. Order them with plenty of time in advance.  2 to 3 months.  Don’t wait till you have your padrinos list complete.  If you want to include your padrinos on your invitations, you can print a separate sheet of paper and include it later on your invitation.  If for some reason you don’t order your invitations early then tell the invitation store to pay for fast shipping,  of course you will have to pay for those extra charges.  This feee varies from 20 to 80 dollars.   If the invitations are being produced locally  and manually then you might have a faster production time if you ask for it. Some shops won’t take your order if the party is just the following weekend, and you might have to do the invitations yourself on your computer.  Good luck on your quinceanera invitations, if you have any questions about invitations, leave us a comment girls. Enjoy your sweet 15!

These are your traditional quinceanera invitations.  Very versatile because the paper itself does not have any colors, therefore all you have to do is change the font or lettering color to  match your theme color.  Also this style has two panels for your information.  For those moms or quinceaneras new to buying quinceanera invitations, remember that the reception cards and lined envelopes are extra.  Lined envelopes are those envelopes with an extra piece of paper inside to make them look more elegant. The invitaton above has a pink lined envelope. Lined envelopes are usually an extra $15 dollars per 100.  Reception cards cost around $70 dollars extra per 100 for this type of invitation.

Today I got a sample pack of  unique quinceanera invitations from MagnetStreet.com. These invitations were just released today and they are very nice.  The printing quality is just excellent.  They have an online studio where you can change fonts, colors and upload your own picture. With regular invitations the only color you can change is the font color.  I just love their online tools to match your invite colors to your dress color.  Their flat invitation is 5″ x 7.875″.  For 150 invitations expect to pay around $195 dollars which is a normal price for invitations. A very cool thing is that if you order more you save more.  Their layered invitations are a bit smaller but come with a card holder and translucent paper on top, these look cool and sassy.  Have you seen save the dates for quinceaneras?  How about magnetic save the dates so your guests  can stick it to the fridge and don’t forget to buy you a present.  If you want to request a free sample pack like I did,  to check the quinceanera invitations before you buy, check them out here: MagnetStreet.com

Today you will find hundreds of quinceanera invitations.  With or without your picture. If price is a concern try to go without picture, since invitations with pictures are sometimes a little pricier. Prices range from $85 non folding cards to $160 per 100 invitations.  Always order 25 extra because reordering 25 later will be expensive. Always order them with plenty of time in advance, If you have already the time and address of the religious ceremony and the time and address of the reception, then you are ready to go. This quinceanera invitation is flat printed, meaning that the lettering is not raised. This is very common with quinceanera invitations with a printed photo. Another point to keep in mind is that for the baby photo that goes on top of this invitation, you need to have permission from the photographer otherwise the printer will reject your order. This does not matter if your parents took the photo themselves. Keep coming back to our blog, for more quinceanera invitations.
