Sweet 16/Cotillion

Well I am half Mexican and half Filipino and im giving my daughter a Quinceanera but the Filipino tradition is having a cotillion at the age of 18. At the hall the birthday girl will blow out 18 candles held by 18 very special people in her life and also 18 roses were given to her by 18 special male family members or friends. The candles were lit by 18 special females in her life. The traditions are endless, just get creative and think of your own, it dont have to be tradition, start new ones!!

My daughter, also afro-american will be having a sweet 16 in September 2004. I would like to email some ideas if you like.
