How to Make a Dream Quinceanera Reality

Mom the first secret is to sit down and discuss your dreams with your daughter. And listen to her dreams. I received a call the other day from a Mom who told me what she was planning for her daughter's Quinceanera. She said her daughter was leaving everything up to her. The only thing her daughter shared was she didn't want a Corte de Honor.

The Mom never asked her daughter 'WHY' she didn't want to have a Corte de Honor. Planning your daughter's Quinceanera is the perfect time to share. To share ideas and time to share quality time. Time to communicate on a different level.

It's important to remember that the Quince celebration is all about your daughter making her transition from a little girl to a young woman. Why not start now and use the planning process for helping both of you create a beautiful new bond as she prepares for her transition to a young woman.

There are so many decisions that have to be made. The first item for the family to discuss is the 'budget'. The amount of money planned to be spent, will be a major influence on most of the other decisions to be made.

The good news is: you don't need to spend a lot of money to have a lovely and memorable occasion.
