My Quinceanera Invitations

You want your Quinceanera invitations to be unique, but shopping for invitations brings nothing that strikes your fancy?  Try thinking way outside the box, at least to get ideas.  Your Quinceanera invitations are one part of the celebration that gives you plenty of opportunities to stretch your creative muscles.
First, don’t limit yourself to delivery in a flat envelope via standard mail service.  What if you could send them in a box?  Or a plastic bottle?  Or a piece of wood?  The post office will deliver a wide variety of shapes and sizes.  You will pay extra for unusual shapes and materials, but let’s start with no limitations just to get you thinking.  I once mailed a gift in a two liter plastic bottle along with confetti and other decorations.  No outer box – just the bottle with a label.  It was great!
Second, what if you didn’t even use the post office to deliver your Quinceanera invitations?  What if they were delivered by a silver knight on a white horse?  OK, that may be venturing into fantasy and for some, but would it be impossible?  Even for a few of your guests?  Even in your fantasy?  Just go with me for a minute.  Maybe a singing messenger could deliver them.  Or a royal servant, a “casting director”, a clown?  You can get really creative if you have a theme for your Quinceanera.
For example, if your sweet 15 celebration is an Aladdin theme, your invitations could be rolled in a scroll and placed in a genie’s bottle.  If the theme is a Hawaiian luau, the invitations could be attached to an actual lei (that flower necklace that Hawaiians wear) and delivered in person by your chambelanes dressed in white pants and Hawaiian shirts. If your celebration is a princess theme, your invitations could be read aloud from a scroll by a visiting royal servant (costumed appropriately, of course), who leaves behind the formal paper invitation. If your theme is rock & roll, your invitations could be in the form of a concert poster.
Really let your imagination run wild and think of ideas as if budget, vehicles, materials, and personnel were no object.  After you have some ideas, then start to consider what your real limitations are.  If you don’t have access to a knight and a white stallion, you could decide to settle for the black stallion or simply a person on foot outfitted by your local costume store.  You’ll likely find that your more outgoing family and friends would jump at the chance to “perform” the delivery of your Quinceanera invitations.  Also, all your Quinceanera invitations don’t have to be handled the same way.  You could mail traditional invitations to out of town guests, but limit the really creative ones to your local area.
Of course, you can’t go wrong with the traditional, formal Quinceanera invitations delivered by traditional mail service.  This method has all the elegance you could desire. But if you’re looking for creative, unique Quinceanera invitations to match your personality, don’t be afraid to “think outside the envelope!”
