La Quinceanera

It is not called La Quinceanera. It is A quinceanera. It is a tradition celebrating a young woman turning 15 and going into womanhood. Another way to think of it is a Sweet 16 party. The quinceanera (person turning 15) will attend a mass along with her family and friends and then all her guests will gather at a place and celebrate. It is usually a her house, a banquet hall, or someplace big. They have a traditional vals (waltz) in which the quinceanera dances with her chambelanes and damas. Then, its eating and dancing for the rest of the night. I think that your son should wear something semi-formal. Nothing sloppy or too casual. Girls usually wear nice dresses, so I wouldn`t say no to a suit or something. A tux would be overdoing it however. (its all up to your son) Anyway, if you know the family, then I don`t think it would be bad if you attended the quinceanera along with your son. If not, then just drop your son off, and greet the quinceanera. For a present, I think you should get her something nice..think of something you would get a girl of her age for her birthday party. Because in simple terms..thats what it is. If you have anymore questions, e-mail me @ cutelilshorty1689@yahoo.com or send me an IM on AIM @ ShawtySccrPlaya. I myself will be having my quinceanera this December so I would be glad to help out. Hope I helped.
