* Common sense: start planning your quince at least a year before you plan on having it.
* The quinceañera planner: you can hire one, or you could plan it yourself as long as you stay organized.
* Save the date: get together with your family to set a date aside and for party planning ideas.
* Decide on a budget for the celebration. Here's a helpful breakdown:
* Have a follow-up meeting where you can determine who your sponsors will be and what their contribution will be like. This is also a good opportunity to figure out the Corte of Honor.
* Contact any potential sponsors.
* Once the above has been completed, if you plan on having a quinceañera planner, start interviewing immediately.
* Visit the venues where you would like to have the quince.
* It is important to interview musicians, photographers and the master of ceremonies to ensure that you get quality work and performance.
* Once you have figured out your venue and have decided on vendors, do create contracts with them and make sure an attorney approves.
* You're ready for the big day!
The Best Dress
* Petite: choose a dress that will make you appear taller, like full skirts.
* Fullshoulders look.
* Boyish: get curves with a velvet.
