"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you..." Don't these lyrics remind you that ever since you were little, your friends and family have sung this song to you every year on your birthday?

Well, for young ladies who become fifteen years old and are from a Hispanic background, it's common for them to celebrate their Quinceañera. A Quinceañera is similar to a Sweet Sixteen party, only it celebrates becoming 15, not 16.

If you have a Hispanic heritage, have reached the age of 15, and have maintained your purity, it's an honor your parents celebrate.

In the traditional Quinceañera there are fourteen damas (similar to bridesmaids) and fourteen chambelanes (male escorts who accompany the damas). There will also be a male who accompanies the Quinceañera (the female turning fifteen). He is normally called "the man of honor."

It's also common to see only seven couples, or to only have chambelanes, or no one besides the Quinceañera. Most common Quinceañeras hold a mass at a Catholic church, then go to the reception area to take pictures.Finally after all of the formalities the party begins...Thats where Team Suzy Q comes in...Take a look at our theme packages or create one of your own.
