O
quinceañera.

More people to name than any other occasion here — parents, padrinos, and often a court of fourteen — frequently in two languages.

How do you plan a quinceañera?

Book the venue and, if you are holding one, the Misa de Acción de Gracias a year ahead. Save-the-dates go four to six months out, invitations six to eight weeks. The stationery has to carry padrinos, and usually the court — with fourteen damas and chambelanes that earns its own card — and often two languages, best handled as one language per side.

02

The pieces.

  • The invitation — carrying the parents and, conventionally, the padrinos.
  • A court card — fourteen names do not fit gracefully on the invitation.
  • Mass programme — if there is a Mass, and many guests will not know the order.
  • Place cards and table names — receptions are seated and usually large.
  • A keepsake or recuerdo — expected, and the piece guests take home.

On bilingual suites. Two languages competing on one face makes both harder to read. One language per side, or a second card, is the stronger solution — the design is identical, only the words change. This is also exactly what per-guest files are for: each guest receives the invitation in the language they read.

Common questions

Is a Mass always part of it?
No. Many families hold one, many do not. The stationery should reflect what you are actually doing rather than the fullest version.
Should the court be listed?
Commonly yes, on the invitation or an accompanying card. With fourteen names it usually earns its own.
How large are these?
Often 150–300 guests, which puts them firmly in seating-plan territory from the start.

One design, in both languages.

Evorrah produces per-guest files, so a guest who reads Spanish receives the Spanish invitation and a guest who reads English receives the English one — from one approved design.
