SWEET 15 PARTY THEME PLANS AND IDEAS!

THE TRADITION:

This Sweet 15 tradition is very special in Hispanic culture. It celebrates the young girl and recognizes her journey from childhood to maturity.The celebration traditionally begins with a religious ceremony. A Reception is held with many festivities that include food and music, and a choreographed waltz or dance performed by the Quinceanera and her Court. Prior to the reception, it is tradition that the Quinceanera choose special friends to participate in what is called the Court of Honor. They are her closest friends, her brothers, sisters, cousins, the special people in her life with whom she wants to share the spotlight.The Quinceanera traditionally wears a beautiful ball gown, with her Court dressed in gowns and tuxedos or special custom outfits to go with your theme. This is one of the many activities that go on to make the night one of a kind.

ACCESSORIES FOR THE SPECIAL OCCASION:

Tiara, cross or medal, Bible or prayer book and rosary, flower bouquet, cake decoration, champagne glasses, the last doll, guest book, photo album, invitations, seatings cards, table numbers, ceremony pillows, and guest favors.

SHOE CHANGE, KNEELING PILLIOW,TOAST, LAST DOLL TRADITION:

There are many traditions for sweet 15 parties. One of the most popular is the changing of the shoes. The father or favored male relative changes the young girl’s flat shoes to high heels. Which symbolizes the transformation from a little girl to a young lady! Then at the church ceremony, a special Kneeling Pillow, sometimes personalized with the Quinceanera’s name, is placed in position for the young girl to kneel on during the ceremony as well as always having a toast to the Quinceanera later in the night with decorated champagne glasses. The guests are invited to give their congratulations and best wishes. Also there is a rather nice keepsake tradition where she will receive her "Last Doll". The doll represents the last thing of a child now that the Quinceanera will focus on her future as a young lady. Those are the main highlights of the night along with amazing company, great good, and rocking music.
