Unique Invitations for Quinceaneras

A Quinceanera is a big event for every Latin American girl that is turning fifteen. When she is to turn fifteen this marks the beginning of womanhood in Latin tradition. A Quinceanera is supposed to be a large party that may have a particular theme or design. Designing invitations can be done at home with your own computer and an inkjet printer.      

The girl who is celebrating her 15th birthday wears a tiara and a fancy gown. The invitations can be simple or even more detailed with a tiara as the front design. An elaborate and elegant gown can also be a good idea for the invitation. Adding your own touch to the invitations is the key to making a simple invitation stand out. Unique style can be added with the use of rhinestones, beads, and decorative or colorful paper.


Just about every woman wears, or has worn a high-heeled shoe at some point. Transitioning into womanhood is often accompanied by high-heels. Part of the Quinceanera traditional is for the new woman to be presented with a pair of heels during her ceremony, by her father or other significant male role model in the family. A high-heeled shoe, shaped invitation with texture and decoration is another creative approach. Printed fabrics, such as shiny or animal prints are also fancy. You may decide to have a standard size invitation with high-heel shoes decorated on the cover; it’s totally up to you on her creative you want your invitations to look.


Try to hand-deliver as many of the invitations as possible. Attach the invitations, or a simple note card to a small bouquet of flowers. Family members that stay in another town can receive an elaborate-designed invitation, whereas the family and friends in the immediate area can receive tea roses or Gerber daisies as an extra touch to your invite.


A picture of the girl in her party dress can also be another cover choice for the invitations.
