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

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

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

I had a dream as a child,
a wish that I would have

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.

I was reading a post on how to do your own invitations but the software they were suggesting was  $800.00 dollars.   So with that in mind our goal here at superquince.com is to come up with some template for your own quinceanera invitations but with a software everybody has.  Our recomendation for software is Microsoft Works Word Processor. Why?  Because every new pc has that program and it works with text boxes. Text boxes are the key to better design your invitation.  It is not perfect, but it works.  This example is very simple and you can download it here:  Quinceanera Invitations

Here is what i did:

1. Created a regular document or letter 8.5×11 inches

2. Click on the main top menu option: Insert>Text Box

3. Drag each box to its position

4. Write some text on each box

If you have used word or any other word processor program then you know what to do, if not, then this is how you can make changes to the invitation.

To make changes to any text on your quinceanera invitation, just highlight that text and type your new text, that simple. You can also change the type of font or lettering, just highlight whatever text you want to change then go to your top left and select another font.  Also you can select to boxt text on your invitation and then select your fav font.

You can also play around with the font color, and font size.  The normal font size in any document is 12.  For you name and headings this is usually bigger but for general text 12 will do. This quinceanera invitation is very simple but all you have to do is move around the text boxes to modify it.
