Planning a Beautiful Quinceaños Celebration
Is your little girl turning 15 soon? If so, you may be planning to host a Quinceaños celebration in her honor. The Quinceaños celebration is one that is held in very high regard in many Latin cultures, particularly in Mexico, and symbolizes the transition from being a girl to becoming a young woman. Therefore, you want to be certain you plan a day that will be truly special and memorable for your Quinceañera.
There are many traditions that are included in a Quinceaños celebration. One of these traditions is the Changing of the Shoes, which involves starting the ceremony with the Quinceañera wearing flat shoes and then receiving high heeled shoes during the celebration and changing into them for the remainder of the event.
There are also many other gifts that are traditionally given to the Quinceañera during the event. These include:
- Bible or prayer book with rosary
- Bracelet or ring
- Cross or medal
- Scepter
- Tiara
When picking out invitations for your Quinceaños celebration, be certain to allow the young Quinceañera to assist with the process. This way, you will be certain to select an invitation that reflects her personal tastes as well as the type of celebration you plan to host. If you wish to place an emphasis on religion, for example, you would select an invitation with a bible verse or one that contains religious symbols.
If you want the focus to be placed more on the guest of honor, on the other hand, you might select an invitation that allows you to include a photograph of the young celebrant or one that focuses on the transition from being a child to a young woman.
