I Am Having A Quincenera
I am having a quincenera on September 6th of this year...I have so far got my dress, shoes, tiara, and then i think i have my hall. My mother and i have been trying to think of some original ideas that don`t cost too much money but can make this ceremony amazing. I can`t have it in a church because i am having it on a saturday and all churches in my state reserve saturdays for weddings. I was hoping some of you would know or can think of some original ideas to help me make my quincenera one of my best parties ever. Any little thing will help. Please reply
