What is a good present for a quinceañera?
A quinceañera is an important time in a young woman’s life, so choosing the right gift can be crucial. Most family and friends choose to give money or gift cards, which are a nice way for the young lady to begin saving for future endeavors. However, other meaningful gifts to give on a quinceañera include any religious-themed gifts such as a keepsake box with a cross or engraved piece of jewelry. A personalized photo album is also a great gift. A camera can be a nice present, so that the young woman can document her journey throughout life. If you are going in on a present with a few people then you can splurge on something bigger, such as tickets to a show or concert or even a weekend trip with some friends and family.

What are some great gifts for a Quinceañera?
Go for the Cookie gift baskets. All the Quinceañeras I have been to, they never open the presents at the party anyway. It's like if you would go to a wedding. A quinceañera is just a big birthday party with a meaning. Also, your gift is a great idea. For something a little bit different you could make her a personalized magazine cover. Upload her photo to a Quinceanera magazine cover, then customize the headlines to be all about her life, her party and her friends. It really captures a moment in time and is totally unique.

What do you do at a quinceanera?
A quinceañera is the closest equivalent of a sweet sixteen party. It means fifteen years (quince años) and culturally it means the convertion of the person de niña a mujer (from girl to woman).Typical quinceañera party usually starts at church, and then it is followed up by the actual party that consists of a lot of music, sometimes a live band, lots of food and alcohol. It features a dance done by the birthday girl and a group of young men called chambelán (chambelanes in plural, it comes from the word Chamberlain) somewhat of a group of escorts that follow the girl , all dress wearing the same outfit (tuxedo or a type of cadet uniform). Then another ceremony is performed where the lady dances with her favorite doll or toy and then leaves the afermentioned toy , representing she has ended a period in her life and starts another one. This is called ceremonia de la ultima muñeca (ceremony of the last doll).According to wikipedia's article about the quinceañeras, the basic reception has six major parts with dances taking place while a traditional Mexican meal is served:The formal entry - A grand entrance made by the Quinceañera once most guests have been seated.The formal toast - An optional but usually featured part of the reception, generally initiated by the parents or godparents of the birthday girl.The first dance - Usually a waltz where the girl dances, starting with her father.The family dance - Usually a waltz involving just the immediate relatives, the "chambelanes", godparents, and the closest friends of the girl.The preferred song - Any modern song particularly enjoyed by the Quinceañera is played and danced.The general dance - Also usually a traditional waltz.Traditionally, Mexican girls could not dance in public until they turned fifteen, except at school dances or at family events. So the waltz with her "chambelanes" is choreographed and elaborate to celebrate what was meant to be the quinceañera's first public dance.It is very traditional for girls to celebrate this birthday, and the parents, specially the father, starts saving money for this event many years prior to the big party. I have been to quinceañeras that have spend more money than certain weddings. Some girls decide to use the money to either buy a car or make a big trip with her friends to some place far away, instead of doing the party.

Appropriate gifts for Quinceañera?
We are attending a Quinceañera for the daughter of a friends. We have heard that they ate spending a very large amount of money on this event (almost as much as we spent on our wedding). We want to purchase an appropriate gift, but two separate sources have told is that you don't buy gifts for a Quinceañera. Is this true? If not, what would be appropriate? A card with money? Thanks!!!

Is it customary to bring a gift to the parents at a quinceañera?
While the focus of a quinceañera is to celebrate a young woman’s rite of passage, the gifts are generally provided to the young lady being celebrated. However, it is often asked if it is customary to give a gift to the parents at a quinceañera. The family generally puts a significant amount of time, effort, and money into the planning of the quinceañera and it is good form to express your gratitude for being invited. It is not mandatory for guests to bring gifts for the parents at the party, but at the very least make sure to thank them for the invitation and show your thanks in person during the party. If you do choose to bring a gift for the parents, a nice gift to provide would be a bottle of wine or alcohol, or a gift card for dinner.
