Quinceanera Ideas? I Can Try To Help.

Hi. I want my quince colors to be light pink, yellow, and whit. It`s in march of 04. Could you please email me at sweetangel_number1@yahoo.com? i need info. THANKS!

Hi, my granddaughters quince is coming up and they are looking for court presentation songs. Any ideas? How about songs for the father/daughter dance?

My father daughter dance is de nina a mujer from julio iglesias and a good court presentation song is balada para adelina well i hope i helleped!

Thanks Nani! I will look for these at the record shop.

Actually it would be easier to just downl;oad themoff the internet thats wut im doing w/ most of my songs

Dora, for a father and daughter dance, were doing the theme song from Cinderella. Its a very simple song and easy to dance to. Just my husband shortened it down. It`s recommended to dance no longer than 2 1/2 minutes. You don`t want people to get bored. One question I can`t answer for people is a full court dance. Where not having one by the choice of my daughter. Alot of her friends has had bad experience in this. I can let you guys know afterward what we did at her reception cause the Dj has lot of ideas to do in a 5hr reception. There`s alot to do without having a full court.

This is for Rosie or any other person that can possibly answer my question please:

We are currently putting together the last details of my daughters quinceanera, which is March 29, 2003. Do you have a program or an outline of the step by step procedures that happen at the reception that you could kindly share with me. I`m not sure when the waltz is suppose to happen i.e. After dinner before dinner, also the presentation of her and the court.

God Bless!

I also need the the outline thing. Eventhough Im sure that Im not have a quinceanera maybe my parents will change their minds.

I need some names of fast moving songs that I can do with my damas? If you have any suggestions, please email me.

Response for DeeDee and others. 3:30 – Guest start arriving
4:15 – Dinner (#1songs where playing for each year she was born)
5:15 – Introduction of birthday girl with father or escort. Then mother crowns birthday girl, birthday girl is presented with a special ring, then changing of her shoes. It can be done different ways, but the changing of the shoes should be done last cause after that is done, she dances with her father with the song they have chosen. When the song is over, then the father hands her over to the escort and dance the waltz including the court if any. Once waltz is completed they walk out and then dancing can begin with everyone.
6:00 – 6:15 – Then birthday girl presents the doll over to a younger sister or younger family member or special friend. Then after that she does her Thank you speech followed by parents speeches to birthday girl. Then more dancing and games where done for
Centerpieces and prizes. Prizes where given away by DJ.
7:00 – Cake cutting
Dancing till 9:00

Reception was 4:00p to 9:00p

Thanks a lot for the helpful information.

Thanx

Well not to mean but i think thats tacky! i think the way it should be done is first when everyone is there ou present the court then birthday girl then u do ur father daughter dance then the dad gives the girl to her escort then everyone dances the wltz then the merenguie then everyone sits and east then the dancing begins and u can cut the cake when evr u want! i think thats the way it should be! my opinion only!

Yes, the court should come in first then the birthday girl and her escourt. Father and daughter dance then the dance with birthday girl and her escourt. The plan I wrote was without a court. It was an idea for that. You don`t want to do everything at once cause you don`t want the guest to get bored.

Ok...now I`m confused. Does all of this happen before dinner or after dinner?

Oh god. Im just hoping that someone has a quince before me so i can see their outline.
But I have the same question as Deedee

I was listening to the words of "la ultima muneca" and I realized that that is a really good father/daughter dance song.

Im hoping/planning on having a band and a DJ. I need a band for like the parents and them people that are gonna be there and a DJ for like the younger people. How do u think I should go about this in the actual thing? Like I know that Im gonna have to split up times and stuff but what times are the best? How should I go about this? My reception/dance is probably gonna be around like 4:30 pm to like 2:00 am. The dance part is probably gonna start around like close to 7 pm but Im not sure. Should the times be different?

DeeDee,
I think there are so many ideas that are out there for Quincenearas that nothing is the norm. I have read many good ideas. You just take what you like and fit it into your schedule for the big day. My granddaughters quince is Feb 22 and this is the timing of events for the day.

Church blessing: 6pm (blessing takes 20/min maximum.
Dinner: 7pm
Dance: 8-1pm

The court presentation is what will start our dance (8pm)
Quinceneara gets crowned
Father/daughter dance. The father will hand her to her grandfather(s) for a short dance and then her godfather.
Qunceneara dances with escort who will escort her to each of the chambelaines for a very short dance with all 14 of them.
All dance
Around 9- the sponsors will be recognized and given thank you tokens (i.e. Boutineers/corasages).
10pm cutting of the cake
11pm dollar dance
12pm Quinceaneras Thank You Speech
1pm Dance is Over

My granddaughter begged not to make her dance with a doll. She said she would be embarrassed. So we are not doing the doll tradition. We are also not doing the shoe tradition. To be honest we never heard of that tradition but it has a good meaning behind it.

Dora
I thought the doll tradition was that u pass the doll down to a younger sister or friend -symbolizing leaving ur childhood -not that u dance with the doll.

I think that Im gonna change some of my times. I think that the reception/dance is gonna begin around 5:30 to like 2 am And the dance part probably around 7:15

Thank you so much Dora!

My cousin is having her sweet 15 in july and she wants me to help her get it organized she also wants me to read a speech for her on that day. I just turned 15 myself and i had a sweet 15 but my sweet 15 was ruined because my family members started to act silly and i couldn;t do any of the traditional things! i want my cousins weet 15 to come out nice and organized. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Ok i dunno n e songs to play in spanish pleez help me now

My party is May 17 and this is my valz:
-I get my shoe changed
-I get presented my ultima muneca
-I dance with my dad (good songs are: Ultima Muneca, De Nina A Mujer, Mi Nina Bonita)
-Dance with my padrinos (don`t know what song, any help?)
-My court enters (song I`m using is this one song that sounds like a march, commonly used)
-First vals is done (song: Vals de Adelina)
-I dance with my guys and at same time the girls are lead out (song:Tiempo de Vals)
-All done

HELP!!!! I don`t know what I am doing. Actually, I have learned SO MUCH from friends, family, and this board. (Thanks to everyone..."Maribel" was my first hero.) I think this is what I will do: 1:45PM = guest arrive and get seated, 2:PM = court comes in followed by me/my daughter`s escort/her godmother, then my husband/my daughter/her godfather. We all sit down at decorated tables up front. My daughter actually stays in front and while she thanks everyone for coming then giving her doll to her 6 year old sister...we get served our dinner and the buffet is set up. Then, the D.J. Introduces the (non-denominational) minister who will lead us in short prayer & bless the food (briscett, rice, beans, pot salad, bread, and iced tea). Then the D.J. Announces for everyone to line up to eat. (No "to go" containers, and the servers will serve everyone the same amount of food.) D.J. Plays soft music in background (WHAT ARE SOME IDEAS, please?). In about 45 minutes, D.J. Reminds guests to come back at 6:45 for march and dance. After guests leave (I know some may not), the food/tables are cleaned up and the tables are decorated (Cinderella theme) and the cake is brought in and set up in it`s area. (SHOULD WE HAVE ANY OTHER DESSERT, if so, any suggestions?). 7:PM = Damas/escorts get announced, followed by my daughter`s escort, followed by me/my daughter/my husband. The kids all make a circle with her escort in the middle waiting for my daughter. When we 3 come in, the other kids make room for us after we 3 walk around the outside of the circle showing her off. When we 3 are in middle, I make a speech (in Hebrew then translating it in English) to my daughter giving her a bouquet of flowers, then her Tia puts her crown on. My husband changes her shoes and gives her a speech about how is NOT really prepared for her to grow up, haha. (OR SHOULD THOSE 2 BE VISA VERSA?) THEN, the daddy/daughter dance. (an edited Butterfly kisses: the only english song). Afterward, to the song by Julio Iglesias she dances with others. (THIS IS WHERE I GET CONFUSED... WHO DANCES WITH HER -IN ORDER- AFTER HER DAD, BEFORE THE ACTUAL MARCH BY ALL THE KIDS?). Then the march. Then everyone dances. 10PM = my daughter thanks everyone for coming and thanks the padrinos. Then the cake is cut. While the cake is being cut and served, the microphone is handed around to the damas to say happy birthday to my daughter. 1:AM = Its over! ~~~~ We are also going to serve menudo to any out of town family members the next day who come to the house before they leave town. We are also getting a discount rate at one of the motels here for them (and we will add a card saying such with the invitations). ~~~~ I need to know if this all sounds good, or if not what may need to be changed? Also, what are some nice songs for the march?( The choreographer says she needs 3.) Plus, please answer the questions I have (in all caps). AND, what are some nice decorating ideas? Can anyone send me a video tape of their (kid`s) quinceanera?

I have to find a song for the waltz (w/court)& father daughter . My Quincenera is May 17 ,2003.so someone please give me suggestions.

THANKS
