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

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.

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.
