Thank goodness for the Quinceanera tradition of having honored sponsors. When the costs are divided up the Quince celebration can become a reality today. As a mom or aunt or friend of the Quinceanera I recommend you do a few of the following things.
Tips for planning a Quince Celebration:
- First meet with your immediate family to discuss a budget for the Quinceanera celebration.
- Then set up a list of each item you feel is required for the Quince celebration.
- As a guide when you're developing a budget, I recommend you break down into categories and place the items into the correct areas listed
- The amount you spend on food and beverage depends on whether you are having the party catered or at a hall or hotel. If the party is going to be held at home and sponsors are donating the food, the percentage will be much lower of the total budget.
- These percentages should be used as a flexible guide.
- 52% for food and beverage.
- 18% for Photographer and/or videographer
- 4% spent is usually for Flowers
- 3% for cake
- 6% for Quinceanera dress and accessories
- 3%-18% for music
- 3% for Invitations
- 5-10% miscellaneous item
