Quinceanera is a very special time in a young girl's life because she says goodbye to her girlhood and hello to womanhood. If you are planning your daughter's Quinceanera, then you know that she needs to look her best. Not only will guests remember how beautiful she looked but she'll feel like a queen on her special day. Here are some suggestions for you to plan for the special day.

If you don’t have a party planner, enlist a friend who isn’t in your court to help your prioritize and plan;

Ask for references and read online reviews of potential vendors before booking;

If you have older guests, make sure there are plenty of places for them to sit down;

Choose a theme or symbol first to solidify the vision of your party; this will make the planning process easier;

Seat people with similar interests and ages together, and put an even amount of people at each table because people tend to pair off in conversation. You don’t want to leave anyone out;

If you’re thinking of a specific color, research what flowers are available during the time of your event. Flowers in season are less expensive;

If you’re having a large number of guests that are 10 years old or younger, hire a babysitter to watch them during the ceremony. Or, set up a children’s table or room at the reception, complete with crayons, coloring books, small toys, and games;

Keep reality in focus by knowing your budget and sticking to it. It is easy to get wrapped up in having an extravagant party, but remember the celebration is really about you and sharing with family and friends;

Be mindful of guests and their dietary restrictions, such as allergies, vegetarians, etc. If possible, you should make sure there is something for everyone to eat;

Thank you notes are as important as your invitations. A great time to write them is the day after your party while the memory is still fresh.
