How to plan a Quinceanera party?

Like many other little girls, you’ve probably dreamed of this big day, when people practically treat you like a queen! Nothing thrills a teenager more than dressing up, eating delicious food, and having loads of fun. Yet a lot of people don’t know how much work goes on behind the scenes. So if you need a little push in the right direction, we’re here to help you with the planning. Now grab a notebook and read on for a  few words of wisdom.

Choose the date

Quinceanera experts know that there’s no such thing as too early when it comes to picking a date. They recommend choosing a date at least a year in advance. uinceaneras are usually celebrated on Saturdays, so it’s crucial to hire an event space at the earliest. Several things need to be reserved before the event, such as the venue, the caterer, the baker, and maybe other things such as chairs, tables, and even a venue decorator. You might also want to rent a designer dress for the big occasion. Once you’ve made up your mind and selected the spot, you won’t have to worry about any of these till your birthday! 

Decide on the budget 

Sit down with the familia and discuss the budget for the event. Think about all the expenses such as party supplies, outfits, hair, makeup services, and all the other things mentioned above. It’s crucial to discuss all the details of the party with everyone who is  directly involved in the planning. There’s no need for the birthday girl to be there, but it’s always good to make a list of things that you would love to see at your Quince! Now that you have an overall idea of what you want, it’s time to make that guest list. Remember to send out "Save the Date" cards (online or in-person) to your guests to confirm their attendance. Ask them to RSVP so you know the approximate number of guests.

Book the venue

We might sound biased, but booking an amazing venue will ease your party planning. Planning a traditional Quinceanera? Book your ballroom at least a year or two before the event. Popular venues tend to get booked fast, and you wouldn’t want to be disappointed, little Princesa, so make sure you book the place well before others. If you’re not keen on visiting hundreds of venues to find the one, simply Google venues in your preferred location or find them on online marketplaces where you can easily find a space based on your guest size. Once you’re ready, book your first choice.

Choose a theme

Maybe you already have a theme in mind when picking a venue, like a Great Gatsby Quinceanera in a lavish ballroom or a video game theme at a barcade. This surely makes picking the decorations and choosing a color theme easier. Picking your favorite color for the celebration is the way to go. Unless your favorite color is black or white, you can pick any color that adds character to the decor. Try not to pick an over-the-top color theme like neon. For instance, pink looks great with pastel-colored floral arrangements, and gold is great if you want to feel like royalty. It’s probably best to discuss the theme and ideas before taking a look at the venue, as this makes it a lot easier to find a suitable venue. You may also hire the services of a party planner or ask the venue manager if they can assist you with the setup.

Choose a Quinceanera court

The court consists of 14 of your closest friends and yourself. Since it represents the first fifteen years of your life, it’s important to choose these people carefully. It doesn’t have to be only girls, so don’t hesitate to pick your male BFFs too. The chosen ones are usually responsible for part of the party planning, helping with decorating the venue, or with choreography. Remember, it’s your day, so don’t choose anyone who’ll try to steal the spotlight or flake out when they need to help during the event! Pick those friends who genuinely care about your big day and are ready to help with your party.

Hire a professional photographer

Capturing every moment of your Quinceanera is a must. These are memories cherished for a lifetime, so it’s best to invest in the professional services of a renowned photographer. You can either book the services of a videographer and a photographer or opt for a 2 in 1 option. Most importantly, professional photographers can capture those special moments that soak up both the emotions and the event. You don’t want your favorite peeps to have fuzzy memories of your coming of age, so make it look like a live movie where you look like living art (cause you will!) with a little help from your photographer friend.When you look back at these pretty photos, you will re-live those sweet moments again and again.

Pick a dress

There’s no celebration without the perfect dress. Quinceanera dresses aren’t your average shift dress; these elaborate dresses make you feel like the world’s prom queen. Since they're made of several layers of tulle and intricate handwork, it takes time for them to be ready. These dresses take around 4-6 months to be customized and delivered, and even more, if you’re getting them from famous boutiques like Da Vinci or Allure. 

Run the last check

Run a few last-minute checks before the big day. From the vendors to the guests, make sure everything goes according to plan. You may want to call guests who haven’t responded to the invitations to avoid any mishaps. Confirm the delivery time with the baker, florist, caterer, tailor, photographer, and DJ at least two to three months before the event so that you have sufficient time to find a replacement if needed.

Can the venue provide transportation and accommodation for my guests?

Having guests from different parts of the country or world? Why not host the event in a hotel? Hotels typically have banquet halls and can offer both transportation and accommodation facilities for your guests. These will undoubtedly come at a cost. There are other options such as lofts, apartments for accommodating your guests and throwing a party if you’re having an intimate gathering. While most venues can assist you with some recommendations regarding transportation and accommodation, they might not always provide those services. Check with the venue first, as each venue is different. Some may even offer limousines or other small luxuries to make your daughter’s day extra special!

Can a restaurant provide entertainment for the quinceanera party?

Quinceanera parties are a lot about memories, fun, and, of course, entertainment. If you want the restaurant to play the favorite music of your daughter, it won’t be hard for them to do so. Just make sure they’ve got an adequate sound system. If you need a DJ, several restaurants provide in-house DJs or music bands. If not, they can always organize something special for your daughter’s special day, particularly if you’re renting out the whole place. Venues typically have a lot of experience in organizing such events. They can assist you with the planning and deliver an exquisite experience for your princess!

Do all venues provide catering services?

Sadly, no! Venues such as private gardens, lofts, and bars will not always provide catering services for the event, so it’s best to steer away from venues that will not provide catering options and that will not allow outdoor catering. You can rent a ballroom or dancehall where you can opt for outdoor catering or ask them to provide on-site services, if possible. Since you’re planning a big event, it’s always a good idea to get the food and drinks prepared by professionals! So make sure the venue can provide such high-quality food or help you with some recommendations so that you can host the event at the venue.
