Quinceanera Planning 101

A Quinceanera only happens once in your daughter’s life, so it’s important to make the celebration a special one that she’ll remember for years to come. Planning a Quinceanera is like planning any other special event in Austin, in that you’ll need to book a venue, send out invitations early, and tend to all the event rentals that provide seating, décor, and table settings to the celebration. Along with these essential party planning considerations, you’ll want to remember the following specific guidelines for a successful and memorable Quinceanera.

Set Aside Plenty of Time for the Wardrobe Selection

One of the most essential features of any Quinceanera is the dress. Whatever color or design your daughter chooses for her gown, it should set the tone for the décor and style of the rest of the event. You may need to order the dress well in advance and allot time for any last-minute adjustments or fittings before the party.

Prepare a Dance Floor

No Quinceanera would be complete without music from a live band or DJ as well as a dance floor. Dancing is a centerpiece of the event, and many girls of honor will choose to have a surprise dance showing off special choreography.

Plan the Guest List Early

Because the Quinceanera is a coming of age event, it is a time to invite the whole family, who should be given plenty of notice to plan their travel arrangements to get to the party. You should also give your daughter final say over which friends she wants to invite and be sure that you choose a venue large enough to accommodate everyone.
