First off, your daughter needs to be understand a Quinceanera is just that...a tradition. You, the parents are giving it as a honor to her, not an obligation. She should be appreciative and cooperative for the effort and expense you will be putting into this event. Have a calm talk with her and make her understand, that you can compromise. But the each tradition has a special significance, such as the first waltz, brindis, ultima muneca, coronation, and very important, waltzing with father. My older son did not want to be the chambelan de honor for his sister, so instead, she chose a friend of the family who was close to her age.
Your daughter has no right to be disrespectful to you, as parents, because you are doing great favor and showing great honor to her by giving her party. Just sit her down, and discuss things with her.
