SWEET 15 Party Planning!
72This Sweet 15 tradition is very special in Hispanic culture. It celebrates the young girl
and recognizes her journey from childhood to maturity.The celebration traditionally begins with a religious ceremony. A Reception is held with many festivities that include food and music, and a choreographed waltz or dance performed by the Quinceanera and her Court. Prior to the reception, it is tradition that the Quinceanera choose special friends to participate in what is called the Court of Honor. They are her closest friends, her brothers, sisters, cousins, the special people in her life with whom she wants to share the spotlight.The Quinceanera traditionally wears a beautiful ball gown, with her Court dressed in gowns and tuxedos or special custom outfits to go with your theme!
Some accessories for this special occasion are:
tiara,cross or medal, Bible or prayer book and rosary,flower bouquet,cake decoration,champagne glasses,the last doll,guest book,photo album, invitations,reception cards, ceremony pillows, and guest favors. ( just to name a few!!)
There are many traditions for sweet 15 parties. One of the most popular is the Changing of the Shoes. The father or favored male relative changes the young girl’s flat shoes to high heels. Which symbolizes the transformation from a little girl to a young lady! Then at the church ceremony, a special Kneeling Pillow, sometimes personalized with the Quinceanera’s name, is placed in position for the young girl to kneel on during the ceremony as well as always having a toast to the Quinceanera later in the night with decorated champagne glasses. The guests are invited to give their congratulations and best wishes.

Also there is a rather nice keepsake tradition where she will receive her "Last Doll". The doll represents the last thing of a child now that the Quinceanera will focus on her future as a young lady. This is a special celebration that remains a cherished and honored tradition. You can get very creative for your big event with themes and decorations. The dances can be coordinated in advanced and you can design custom outfits to make everyone stand out.
