Ideas for a Quinceañera's Fiesta De Quince

Planning a Fiesta de Quince or party for a Quinceañera can seem overwhelming. In addition, most girls today would rather have a more modern themed party, while the parents want to keep the traditions of their culture. Another issue is the money issue. Most of us do not have an unlimited budget. So what is a parent to do? I will give you some great ideas for everything from invitations to music to plan the perfect celebration and save money at the same time.

About The Celebration

The day a girl turns 15 is a day of joy and celebration in the Hispanic Culture. In most parts of South America, only a special celebration takes place. In Puerto Rico, traditionally there is a blessing of accessories during the celebration. In Mexico & Central America, the event is usually preceded by a mass. However, all celebrations have one major theme in common; it is the time when you are no longer considered a little girl, but instead, a young lady.

After your venue, your invitation will set the tone for your party. Remember to consider your venue when you consider the theme of your invitation, the colors, etc. The more your invitation resembles something from your venue, ie. colors, flowers, style (modern vs. classic), the less you will have to spend on decorations later. You can get additional information here.

We have picked a variety of invitations & themes here. The reason we love these so much is because they are not only beautiful, but fully customizable at a very reasonable price. So you can pick any invitation and change it to read "Mis Quince" or "Mi Fiesta de Quince" or "Quinceañero" or "Quinceañera". Whichever name is proper for your cultural background. In addition, you can buy any amount and if you later decide you need more, you can reorder more at any time...even weeks before your party! Also, the designs are available on many different items.

So take a look at some beautiful invitations we have gathered here and all the great ideas and pick one or two that you absolutely love!

TIP

If your venue provides free linens for the tables, etc. try to ensure that your invitation has that color in it, even if on a very small scale. Most venues that provide linens will provide white or beige tablecloths or napkins. This will be one of the best ways to save money on decorations. If the venue does not provide these, then if you have to purchase them or rent them, using white tablecloths, and an invitation with any white detail will ensure that you have a greater choice of places to rent or buy your linens and be able to reuse them or rent them out to your friends for years to come.

Pretty Cakes For Quinceañeras

For years the traditional "Mis Quince" parties were celebrated with a beautiful cake. Nowadays, some prefer a more relaxed, although still beautiful alternative and the cupcake has really taken center stage in many parties. You have many options with cakes. You can get a single cake, which will look classy and beautiful on a decorated cake table, or you can get smaller cakes and use them as centerpieces for your tables instead! Or as many are opting to do, having the best of both worlds by using cupcakes on a cupcake stand on a main table. Using cupcakes is not only a very modern idea, but will save you time and money when it comes time to cut the cake. Often times you must pay someone to cut the cake and other times, a family member is given this task which can take an hour or more. So, do you want a very traditional celebration or a more modern celebration? It's really all up to you!

Favors For Quinceanera Guests

Shop for Party Favors @ Beau-coup.com




Quinceanera favors have always been a tradition. Traditionally capias or distintivos were used and later dolls and figurines were given to guests to thank them for their presence. However, today's Quinceaneras are more modern and thus want something that is cute & girly that their friends will enjoy. Above are some great ideas for favors for the guests. Candy is always a great & inexpensive favor and these cute little boxes can be filled with the birthday girl's favorite candies. Manicure sets are perfect for teen girls and women. And who doesn't like a pretty smelling soap? You do not have to buy all favors the same either. You can instead buy a few different types that coordinate in color and make a pretty table with all the different favors. It will be part of your decorating. Better yet, why not find some cake stands and put the favors on the stands? You can find the above favors at WeddingFavors.org.

Once you have picked your invitations & determined what type of cake you will have, it is time to start selecting your table decorations.

Ribbons are always used and very inexpensive, especially at wholesale clubs. These can be used to decorate chairs, main tables, doors, etc. In addition, instead of purchasing or renting colored tablecloths, runners or overlays, you can purchase inexpensive silk napkins and place them in the center of the tables to give some color. Throw a few crystals on top, flowers or your centerpiece and it will look fully decorated without spending a fortune.

Here are some of our top pics for general decorating items for your party. We believe that a party can be beautiful without breaking the bank, and if you must spend some money, the best money spent is on items that can be reused for many years to come. For example, this economic cake stand can be used for three cakes on a well decorated main table, or it can be used to hold cupcakes instead. By using inexpensive ribbons, you can decorate it to fit any decor. In addition, once the party is over, it can be reused as an appetizer tray, cake stand, etc. for other parties for years to come.

more decoration ideas

Stemless Mum With Small LeafThese beautiful & practical paper flowers are perfect to decorate big tables. Scattering a few in the center of the table and including some inexpensive clear or coordinating color candle votives will make the table come to life. A combination of colors will also make for a fun table.

wedding feature for oncewed.comFresh flowers can be purchased at many wholesale warehouses for much less than a local florist. You can also find inexpensive clear glass vases at the dollar stores. These can be decorated with a simple ribbon which coordinates with your invitation colors.

Oranges and flowersAnother option for flowers is filling the vases with water and throwing in some fresh fruit. This always looks nice especially in the summertime. The base can also be filled with other things such as seashells, stones, crystal beads, etc. Again, a ribbon can dress these simple vases nicely.

    Great lens! I attended a couple of quinceañera parties in Mexico, was padrina de invitaciones in both cases. Both ceremonies were followed by delicious meals of chicken, with spicy mole...in one case, though, the entire population of the church missed service the next day because of food poisoning! That was misery! Looking forward to reading more of your lenses!
