1. Pick your Guest List
   Your Quinceañera is a very special day, and you want to make sure that all your loved ones can be there to celebrate with you. That’s why it’s important to start working on your guest list as soon as possible. You’ll want to invite family members near and far, as well as close friends and members of your church community if you have one. Keep in mind that the number of guests you have will impact your overall budget for the event. By taking the time to create a comprehensive Quinceañera guest list, you can ensure that everyone who matters most to you and your daughter will be able to share in their special day.
   
   
2. Choose a Venue

3. Determine your Court
   Quinceañeras typically consisted of 14 Courts de Honor, with the birthday girl and her escort making up the 15th member. However, as families have become more spread out, there has been a shift to five Damas (ladies) and five Chambelanes (gentlemen) with no escort or man of honor. This makes the birthday girl the fifteenth member of the court. Considering all of the above it is important to talk to the birthday girl to determine the Court de Honor.
   
   
4. Choose a Theme
   Quinceañeras are often lavish affairs, similar to weddings, and the theme of the event will dictate the décor. If you’re planning a Quinceañera, be prepared to compromise on other party expenses if you want a grandiose event. Your Quinceañera theme should be reflective of the birthday girls interests and personality, so choose wisely. A Quinceañera is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so make it memorable.
