How to Plan a Quinceanera
If you have a daughter whose 15th birthday is coming up, it may be time to start thinking about her quinceanera. This important celebration will be one that she remembers for her entire life, so it is important to do it right! A quinceanera is a big undertaking, so it’s important to allocate plenty of time for the planning process and break it down into steps. Learn more about the steps you should take in today’s blog, below.
How to Plan a Quinceanera
Decide on your budget
The very first concern that will dictate all of your other choices is your budget. Decide how much you are comfortably able to spend and then find out whether any other friends or family members will be contributing. Often, godparents and grandparents may be willing to contribute, so find out exactly how much money you will be able to spend on this momentous occasion. You should start thinking about this at least 6 months in advance.
Choose a date and book a venue
These two steps often go hand-in-hand because the date you choose might be influenced by the availability of your preferred venue. When thinking about a venue, be sure to take into consideration the amount of space you’ll need (how many guests will you be inviting?) as well as their onsite catering and other amenities. Venues that are familiar with hosting quinceaneras will be better equipped to provide services and amenities that help your event go off without a hitch. This is also when you should decide whether you want to hold a church ceremony as well.
Have fun with the details
A quinceanera should be as unique as the young woman it is celebrating, so be sure to spend plenty of time planning the details! This will include color schemes, outfits, decorations, and more. Don’t forget to book any vendors needed, including photographers and florists. Then you’ll be ready to send out invitations
