Theme Ideas for a Quinceanera Party

Quinceañera Party Theme Ideas

It’s your Quince años and you have so much to celebrate! That means you have a lot to think about, so get planning! Starting to plan a Quinceañera party is a lot easier once you’ve chosen a Quinceañera Party Theme. Here are some Quinceañera Theme Ideas to help you get started.

FairyTale Theme: Because so many girls celebrating their Quince años have dreamt of this day ever since they were a little girl – it makes sense that they would want this day to be reminiscent of a fairy tale. You’ll probably have a first dance, so choose a young man that can play your Prince Charming for the day – after all you are the Princess! For the décor, choose soft colors with crystal and rhinestone accents. For this theme to work, you’ll definitely want to choose a princess like gown. This theme is closest to a traditional Quinceañera.

Luau Theme:  A Luau Quinceañera Theme is not so traditional, but it is oh so fun! The Luau or Hawaiian Theme Quinceañera works best in the summer time, especially if the party takes place outdoors. This theme is certainly less formal – so for your dress you may want to opt for a shorter white gown and possibly even change into a sundress. You may want to go over the top and wear a grass skirt with a coconut bra or at least change into it for fun.  Serve your guests piña coladas with little umbrellas. You can even have beach games like limbo. For your Quinceañera Birthday Party Favors give your guests leis to wear around their neck. Make sure to let your guests know it’s a beach theme Quinceañera party, so they come dressed for the occasion.

Vegas Theme: Ok, so you’re not turning 21 and your Quince años party might not be taking place in in Las Vegas, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring the Vegas spirit to your party! A Vegas Theme can still be formal, but a black dress as opposed to a white dress might be more fitting for this theme. Set your party up with Poker tables, Roulette and Black Jack. This theme works best in an indoor venue – in a hotel banquet, just like the grand hotel casinos in Vegas. Serve dinner in a buffet  style, just like they do in Vegas. See if you can hire some Vegas Show Girl type dancers  -  or for an even better affect, perhaps you and your court can perform the Vegas dance yourselves.

Asian Theme:  An Asian or Chinese Theme Quinceañera party can be loads of fun and definitely something that is unexpected. For this theme the food is key – serve your guests Egg Drop Soup, Egg Rolls and lettuce wraps as an appetizer and select classic entrée items like chicken fried rice, Pad Thai Noodles, Sweet and Sour Chicken – you can even set up a Sushi station with a chef to really impress your guests. Don’t forget to end dinner with fortune cookies and hot tea for a great Asian or Chinese Theme Party Favor you can give your guests an Asian Silk Fan Favor, personalized cherry blossom lip gloss or chopsticks that have been engraved with your birthday and name.

Middle Eastern Theme:  Embracing other cultures will show your guests your worldly side, especially when the culture you’ve chosen is an exotic and beautiful as the Middle East. For this theme you’ll want to decorate with lots of silk beaded fabric – you might want to use sari fabrics for drapes and table covers. Use hookahs as centerpieces – and for your performance, belly dance! You can buy a bellydance hip belt for you and your friends – this dance will surely blow your guests away!

These are just a few non-traditional Quinceañera Party Theme ideas to get your creative juices flowing. But at the end of the day, it’s your party! Be as creative as you like. After all, you only turn 15 once and because this day is about you, it has to capture your personal style!

Feliz Quince años!!
