Disney started promoting their Quinceanera celebration packages not long ago, and when you consider how girls are brought up on the magical tales of Disney princesses, it seems a perfect fit.
There’s a great photo display of a Quinceanera complete with a glass carriage at a blog titled, Violent Pillow. I know, strange title, but the pictures are cool. While there are no references to the type of Quinceanera invitations that were used, surely they used the princess theme. Disney may have even provided the Sweet 15 invitations. Most Quinceaneras are not held at Disney, but you can steal some of their ideas to work into your Sweet 15 celebration in your own town.
Part of what makes the Disney Quince unique is the theme. Designing your Quinceanera around a theme is not only be fun, but can actually help plan the details such as invitations, decorations, transportation, and food. A theme could be princess/fairy tale, costume, Hawaiian luau, Arabian nights, old Mexico… even pirates if you like. Choosing the theme can help give you ideas for the Quinceanera invitations, decorations, Quinceanera gown, location, party favorors, and music. Of course, the type of trasportation could be used in the theme as well. Your options aren’t limited to limos. Options include horse-drawn carriages, fire trucks, decorated cars, antique vehicles, etc. Think about some of the floats you’ve seen in parades to get your imagination started. Those elegant floats in the Rose Parade are usually just small tractors decorated with flowers!
The invitations are one of the easiest ways to incorporate a theme idea. You can even take inexpensive stock Quinceanera invitations such as these, customize the content to fit your theme, and print them at home. It’s also easy to add something to the invitation relating your theme. For example, some glitter or star confetti enclosed with your invitation helps integrate a theme such as “Fairy Tale” or “Under the Stars”.
Let your imagination run free. Borrow ideas from Disney and Hollywood to get you started. Thinking about a theme adds some fun to your Quince and also provides a direction to the entire party.

Her name is Cynthia. So the theme was Cinderalla.
But we changed it to Cindi-rella.
Haha!
It was such a fantastic party.
If at all possible, anyone thinking about having their party at Disneyland should seriously consider it.
I recommend it to the fullest.
