The Latino tradition calls forth a celebration of the fifteenth birthday of a girl. The celebration holds social and religious significance. It is believed that a girl upon reaching fifteen years of age enters adulthood and becomes of marriageable age. Hence the fifteenth birthday is celebrated with great joy and enthusiasm. For the first time the girl is introduced to a larger society to take on a different responsibility– that of a woman.
Families save money for years to have a great quinceanera celebration. The celebration includes good food, dance, photo sessions, live bands and a beautiful white or lavendor gown for the guest of honour.
The quinceanera celebration also has religious significance. A church service is held that is attended by all guests before the quinceanera party. The pastor gives a sermon about the moral responsibilities of the young. The quinceanera is given an opportunity to stand in front of the congregation and speak about her future prospects. Even the parents and family members of the girl are given a chance to talk about the young girl and share their happiness with everyone upon her reaching maturity. So its a very beautiful occasion for the proud parents and the young girl.
At the party the young girl first dances with her father before performing with her court (at which point she may also trade for a more sprightly dancing partner). Thus it is important to plan the music properly for dad and daughter dancing performance. Traditional Latin music can be blended with any of your favourite music to produce wonderful music for the occasion.
The party decorations are done according to the chosen theme which is based on the hobbies and interest of the quinceanera or any other idea that would make it a wonderful celebration. Most importantly the party decorations should make the guests feel comfortable. With innumerable perfect themes like Cinderella Fairytale, Hawaiian Luau or Beach party, Hollywood glamour, Wish Upon A Star, Arabian Nights, and many more for the occasion the decorations will surely be fabulous. To make the theme more prominent throughout the celebration include keepsake cup kits, accessories, and cake decorations and other party supplies. And dont forget to decorate your party with balloons– single balloons, balloon bouquets, or balloon arches are a perfect way to add colour and joyfulness to the party. Decide a few games for fun and enjoyment in the party.A Mis Quince pinata is an all time favourite classic traditional game. Party favours are a beautiful way to end the most memorable occasion. The choice of party favors is influenced by the party theme, colour or any useful thing that can be conveniently used at home like bookmarks or candles.
