Mis Quince celebrations are staples in the Latin American community as a rite of passage of a young woman’s change of life into complete womanhood at the age of 15.
Also known as a La Quinceanera party, Mis Quince Anos parties are a religious ceremony as well as a social gathering. The first step of this “Sweet 15” party is to meet with religious leaders to arrange for the ceremony to take place. Once that is in order, it’s time to plan the party!
Standard accessories that Mis Quince will need to wear for her party are a ball gown, tiara, earrings, bracelet and Rosary. These items can be purchased at stores anywhere and over the Internet.
After the ceremony, it is traditional to throw a Mis Quince reception similar to a Bat Mitzvah or wedding celebration. While it is not necessary, a theme can be chosen with the help of Mis Quince in mind as it is a representation and celebration of the first fifteen years of her life. Be certain to tell the caterer, photographer and florist if a theme is chosen so they may tailor their specialties to the theme.
Invitations for a Mis Quince ceremony and reception need to be as formal as the even itself. Take the time to get these professionally printed or print them at home using high quality paper and ink. These invitations need to be sent out six to eight weeks before the event.
Honor your daughter’s transition into womanhood by throwing her a Mis Quince Anos party she won’t forget.
