35 Quinceanera Themes and Party Ideas
Posted by Sarah Pryor
A quinceañera marks a girl's transition into womanhood — and it's a great excuse to throw a party. Whether you're sticking with tradition or going totally modern for this 15th birthday bash, here are 35 ideas and themes to make your party unforgettable.
Quinceañera Themes
- Fairy Tale - Tap into the Disney universe by having the guest of honor wearing a ball gown and tiara. Decorate your venue with paper or cardboard castles and kick it up a notch by arriving or leaving in a horse-drawn carriage.
- Under the Sea - Stick to a green-and-blue color palette and decorate with aquatic life-inspired items like cutout fish and seashells. This theme would lend itself perfectly to a fit-and-flare mermaid gown for the birthday girl.
- Country Chic - Great for a casual quince — you can have guests wear ten-gallon hats and decorate with gingham, mason jars and sunflowers. The birthday girl could wear a short gown to show off her cowboy boots, and the quince court could do a choreographed line dance.
- Winter Wonderland - If the special day falls in the winter months, embrace the cold with a winter wonderland-themed quince featuring a blue and white color palette, ice sculptures and hot chocolate for guests. Have your quince court dance to Vivaldi's "Winter" from the Four Seasons and give tins of winter mints as party favors.
- Evening in Paris - Use mini-Eiffel Towers in your centerpieces and serve French food like baguettes, brie or even escargots if you're feeling brave. Set out fun French props like berets, handlebar mustaches and striped ascots for guests to take photos with.
