I Want My Quinceanera To Be The Bomb!

I want my quinceanera to be the bomb because I really want to remember it and yes ( i admit it) I want to show-off. Some ppl are saying that we dont remember that a quinceanera is about becoming a woman and that
All we want is to have a party. WRONG. We do remember but we also want to have a good party - is that a crime? Anyways, I want to have everything my way but I know that it`ll eventually get expensive - and i dont want to get padrinos just so they`ll pay for it. These are just a few of the things that I want--

Zoot Suit w/ hats & everthing- for chambelanes
A band and a DJ
Confetti blasts
Balloon drop
Glow in dark stuff

--so it`ll probably end up looking like a night out at a club.

Any comments about anything?

Oh yeah, I want my colors to be navy blue, silver (or white) and black.

My daughter just had her party but we waited until she was 16, these parties tend to be so expensive but we finally made it the way she wanted...it was very fairytale like and even though it had all the traditions of a quinceanera party, we did it medieval style...my other daughter will have her party this coming july 03...we are planning hers with the white dress....I say go for whatever it is you want your party to be...it will be very special to remember this when you are a woman and look back at the pictures and videos....you can check some of my dters. Pics at http:..home.earthlink.net/~namvet2....we still haven`t finished the page...but I hope you enjoy...I think the colors you picked are beautiful...just remember that every little detail is important and it can cost alot if it gets out of hand...I didn`t know what you meant by the clothes the guys are going to use...but I am so curious about what it is that I am looking it up in the web....I wish you the best of luck in your party planning and I hope you have alot of fun and remember your special day forever....God bless you!

Why not a celestial theme like lights out, or night out on the town with moons and stars, this would go with your colors

My colors are now navy,baby blue, and touches of yellow. Half of the damas are gonna wear navy dresses and the other half are gonna wear light blue dresses. The chambelanes are gonna wear black zoot suits and my chambelan is gonna wear a white one. My dress is gonna be white and from Mary`s Bridal if I dont find a better one. Im gonna use yellow tulips. The song Im gonna use is Tiempo de Vals and the song Ima use for the father/daughter dance is La Ultima Muneca. I know Im going to use alot of balloons and tulle as decorations. Dont know anything else! (or nothing that I remember right now). I JUST GOT REALLY TIRED WITH THE STARS THEME. Its because I was adding too much stuff in and the flowers were overtaking the star theme.

Hey Girl, It`s sounds like your very excited about the whole thing! That`s great! I understand you may want your quince to be the bomd, just make sure you plan ahead and try to budget. Remember it may sound fun and exciting but when you strt relaxing how much it being spend you`ll really think about alot things. I remember back when I turned 15 I was so happy (1988), I remember till this day everyone had alot of fun. I personally wanted to have the Cinderalla theme. So if all goes well and God`s willing, when my baby girl turns 15 in 2007 I want her to have a blast and be involved with very dicision. There`s lots of sites for different ideas. So if my baby agrees I would like for hers to be very beautiful and unique. I personally have already strated saving and getting great ideas for party favors, and how the invitations should be printed. Like youself I don`t want have any padrinos. I would for us to pay for the whole thing. I hope you enjoy your quincenera. GOOD LUCK! Lisa
