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.
01
The timeline.
| Quando | What |
|---|---|
| 12 meses antes | Venue, and the church if there is a Mass |
| 8 a 9 meses antes | Padrinos asked; court confirmed |
| 4 a 6 meses antes | Save-the-dates — family often travels |
| 3 meses antes | Design; decide the language question now, not later |
| 6 a 8 semanas antes | Send invitations |
| 3 semanas antes | RSVP deadline, then seating and the court's own logistics |

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?
Should the court be listed?
How large are these?
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.
