Your daughter’s Quinceañera is an incredibly important milestone. This religious and social event traditionally marks a girl’s transition into adulthood and it is something that they have been looking forward to for quite a while. Because it is such a big occasion, it is important to remember the most important things.
Quinceañeras are most often thought of as a big party, but the religious ceremony that starts it off is also a very important part. The Quinceañera mass is not considered a sacrament by the Catholic church, but it is a commitment your daughter makes to her faith and strengthens her convictions. Make sure you have a talk with your daughter beforehand so she understands the importance of the event and what it entails. Many parishes will offer some kind of preparatory classes or discussions for your daughter that can help her as well. This can be a special experience if handled correctly, rather than just a precursor to the party.
This event marks an important transition and moment for your daughter, so the focus needs to be entirely on her. Allowing her to be part of the planning can help her put her personal touch on the events and make the event truly about her. When it comes to selecting her padrinos, chambelan, and court, you can provide guidance, but these should be people she feels close with and will enjoy spending the experience with. The theme should also reflect your daughter and what is important to her. It can be tempting to impose your own vision in certain areas, but the emphasis should always be on your daughter, not you or any of the other people attending.
The dancing at a Quinceañera is something that a lot of girls look forward to, so make sure it is extra special. The dancing usually opens with a father-daughter dance, followed by a choreographed dance with the Quinceañera and her court. This is often followed later on by a dance party. Hiring a DJ is a special touch that will help your daughter feel like the princess she is and set the tone for a special night. Make sure you also get plenty of videos and pictures of the dancing. These memories are ones you will treasure forever.
Planning the Quinceañera is a big job, so don’t try to do it all by yourself. Enlist your family and friends who love your daughter. Just remember that your daughter should be the focus and should get the final say in what happens.
