Hey everyone long time no see. Recently my niece Guadalupe, Lupita for short and less of a mouth full to say just had her Quinceañera. Her dress was an interesting color similar to my other niece Ariana's but more minty green. It varied in color depending on the light. Same with her converse that I blinged out for her they were the exact color of the dress and also looked different in different light. Lupita's Quinceañera was actually took place on the 2nd of July her actual birthday is in December. She didn't really have padrinos for anything her parents went out and pretty much did it on their own, not many parents do for this kind of event. So it took a lot of saving and hard work. She had no Damas only Chambelánes.
Lupita in her dress for the first time.
The Converse I blinged out for her. I did this too for Ariana.
Sooo sparkley!
Her Copas Stand.
The tables with the fancy napkin job we did last minute lol. Also there are swans on the tables that my sister -in-laws did by crochet in addition to the Copas we decorated for the tables and the bamboo centerpieces we also arranged.
Lupita on the day of. I arranged balloons at her table with her name. :D Made it extra nice that day.
So this is the last quinceanera that my family celebrated right before the end of the new year. This was my niece Ariana's Quinceanera. I had a little bit of an extra touch in this one because I made some sparkly converse for her to wear when she was dancing Buy a cover them with Swarovski crystals which made him really sparkly. I also made little candy bags that were placed at each table. I did have a recording of her surprise dance but unfortunately it got deleted Before I could get my hands on it so I don't have a suprise dance but I do have Some of the dance thing that happened. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the videos. Like always I had my set of questions about the experience for Ariana.
Me: Did your quinceanera turn out as well as you thought it would?
Her: Yes the party turn out as well as I thought.
Me: What was
your favorite part about the Quinceanera? What was the most stressful
part of it?
Her: My
favorite part of the party would have to be the dancing party. The most
stressful would have to be the surprise dance
Me: Let's talk about gifts for the best gift you got and the
worst gift you got?
Her: Worst gift would have
to be a this purse that wasn't exactly pretty to me. And the best gift
would have be this cute karate bear or money I kept finding in the birthday cards :).
Me:What was the most memorable part of your party
night?
The most memorable part of the night would be the dancing. I got to dance with my best friends, especially the one that was moving soon. It was great being able to dance with my friends and my family (my cousins, aunts and uncles)
Me: For the church service what was the best and what was the worst?
Her: It was tooo long. LOL like all church stuff the service is long. I also had some trouble reading the rite of passage speech in spanish. My spanish isn't perfect.
Me: What would you have done differently for the church ceremony of your
quinceanera?
Her: There's nothing I would've changed for the church ceremony part of my quinceanera.
Me: What would you have done differently about the party?
Her: I wouldn't change anything about the party. It was good just the way it was.
Me: Let's talk about keeping your practice is what did you like and what did
you not like? Also what was the hardest part about having a
quinceanera?
Her: The practice was fun and I enjoy spending time with my friends and
cousins but I didn't like that the boys always went away when practice
wasn't even over. The hardest part would be making sure everything was
okay and ready about it on the day of the quince.

The venue was gorgeous. It was so neat and elegant, a bit of a way out of town but it was a beautiful spot for a celebration like a wedding or quinceanera.
Hey everyone sorry its been awhile I've been busy with school and all
the craziness of my life. This blog post is about my niece Janet's quinceañera . As you can see from your pictures and video her dress was blue. Her special day was fun, and it took a lot of planning.To start off the surprise dance that
the boys did with Janet was kinda hard for them to learn especially when all the boys have never really danced or moved their hips. It took a LOT of LONG practices over the summer. While she was busy with that her girl cousins and I all decided hey let's do a surprise dance for her, we can totally do this in a week...yeah not the best idea we ever had. We were trying to learn it within a week and not tell her. Unfortunately she caught us in the act by snapchat and selfies her cousins were taking and forgot that she was in the snapchat group convo. She busted us when she got a hint through snapchat then called her two sisters who were at practice. It ended up working out because then we had
her involved and in the surprise dance.
This is Janet and her surprise gift. I hand made a life size version of a little bunny she used to carry around when she was a little girl. Everyone loved the bunny and even took it out dancing.
The first video is Janet's surprise dance with her boys and the second one is Janet and the girls. Sorry for the quality of this video due to the song and the Warner producers having problems on Youtube I couldn't get this full video on there but here it is the girls surprise dance for Janet's Quinceañera.
Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having a great summer, I'm writing to you today about my niece Mimi's Quinceañera . Woot! Woot! My niece turned 15 in May but due to the church and the venue the celebration was held on June 20th. I'm going to share with you some of the questions I asked her and what she responded as well as her surprise dance!
Me:
1.Did your quinceañera turn out as you thought it would?
2. What was your favorite part of the quinceañera ?
3. What was the most stressful part of the quinceañera ?
4. Let's talk about the gifts lol what were the best gifts you got and what were the worst?
5. What was the most memorable part of the night
6. For
the church service what was the best what was the worst? What would you
do differently for the church ceremony of your quinceañera ?
7. Also
what would you have done differently about the party
8. Let's talk about
your quinceañera practices what did you like and what did you not like?
9. What was the hardest part about having quinceañera ?
Mimi's Responses:
1.) Actually, my quinceañera turned out better than I expected.
2.)
Hmm.. My favorite part of my quince was either the "regalo sopresa"
which was when both Maria and Mario came out to dance Or when the
Banda came in playing cause I had no clue what so ever that I was
getting a banda.
3.)Stressful part about the whole quinceañera planning
was probably getting everything done at the very last minute.
4.)
The gifts were pretty interesting to see lol um the best gift was either
the flowery backpack or the red big "bitch bag". The worst gift were
the leggings and a nail polish that used to be shown on TV. I also got a
plastic cup and sandwich box food thing but it wasn't a bad gift.. I
just found it pretty funny cause no one would really expect getting
something like that as a quince present haha.
6.) For the church service everything was okay.
7.) Although my court
and I didn't get to rehearse for the actual day, everything went pretty
well. I don't know if anything could have been changed.
8.) Any
changes to the party.. I don't know if any changes should have been made
at all just because I thought everything went pretty well. Although
organizing a little more could have helped that night.
9.) The
hardest part of quince practice was probably getting my court to focus
from time to time. One of the scariest parts for me about quince
practice was probably doing the lift. I was afraid I would slip or
something.
