When? Traditionally, the birthday girl is serenaded by a mariachi band in front of her house the night before her 15th birthday. A celebration is planned on her birthday or the Saturday closest to her birthday - Quinceanera
Where? Typically, a church mass is celebrated. The dinner and dance celebration can be held at the church hall, a reception/banquet hall, or other unique possibilities.
How? Consider the following ideas:
- Special Scripture or Poem reading by a designated person
- Candle Lighting Ceremony (14 candles for the Court, parents, Godparents and the Quinceanera)
- Special music
- Signing of the Certificate (Godparents can personally sign)
- Acknowledgment and Recognition of other "special people" Special Prayer or Verse
Dance Program
After the Court is presented and then the Quinceanera, special dances are reserved as follows:
- The first dance is a waltz danced with the Quinceanera and her father
- The Court of Honor is presented.
- The Godparents join in
- Lastly, the dance floor is open for guests
- Males usually take turns dancing with the Quinceanera
- After this presentation, the toast is given and the cake is served.
