Let’s break it down, step by step. Oh, and spoiler alert: you’re going to want a planner for this, and lucky for you, we’ve got the perfect one for just $15! 🎉

12 Months Before: The Countdown Begins

It’s go time! Start by picking the date. This will be the foundation of all your planning. Next, choose a theme—are you going for princess vibes, Hollywood glam, or a neon dance party? Once you’ve got that locked in, book your venue.

Pro tip: Check out new venues that are just opening; they usually offer amazing discounts. If you need help organizing all these details (and trust me, you will), grab our Quinceañera Planner—it’s a lifesaver!

Checklist:

  • Set the date.

  • Pick a theme.

  • Book the venue.

  • Start building your guest list.

9-6 Months Before: Squad Goals

Time to assemble your dream team! Pick your damas and chambelanes, and schedule dance rehearsals because you’ll need more practice than you think. Start shopping for the perfect dress—yes, the one that makes you feel like royalty.

And don’t forget the vendors! Book your DJ, photographer/videographer (a combo deal is ideal), and maybe even a caterer—unless your tías are cooking (in which case, we bow to their skills).

Need a checklist to keep track of it all? You guessed it—our planner has you covered.

Checklist:

  • Choose your court.

  • Schedule dance rehearsals.

  • Shop for your dress.

  • Book your vendors (DJ, photo/video, caterer).

3 Months Before: Details, Details, Details

It’s all about the details now! Design and order your invitations. Plan out your decorations—centerpieces, table settings, and any cool extras like a photo booth.

Speaking of extras, have you thought about a shot cart or coffee station? They’re trending right now and add a fun touch to your party.

Still feeling overwhelmed? Relax, breathe, and grab your Quinceañera Planner—you’ll feel so much better knowing everything is written down in one place.

Checklist:

  • Order invitations.

  • Plan decorations.

  • Finalize party extras (photo booth, snack bar, etc.).

1 Month Before: Final Touches

We’re in the home stretch! Send out those invites, confirm details with your vendors, and have a final dance practice (no tripping allowed!). Do a dress fitting to make sure everything is perfect.

And here’s a fun one: put together emergency kits for the day. You never know when you’ll need a bobby pin or stain remover.

Checklist:

  • Send invites.

  • Confirm vendor details.

  • Final dance rehearsal.

  • Prepare emergency kits.

Party Day: Let’s Do This!

The big day is here! Relax, enjoy yourself, and soak up the moment. Your hard work has paid off, and you’re going to have an amazing time.

And hey, if you followed this guide (and used our Quinceañera Planner, obviously), you’re already ahead of the game.
