The reason for this is that all eyes will go to the birthday girl on that special day. Then the family orders a cake that is special like a wedding cake. Sometimes the godparents pay for it. Many times, the cake is so big that it needs a special table. Next, the parent rent a hall for the party and rent a band to play music. After that, they decide on the special food to serve the guests. Often a quincenera celebration can cost as much as a big wedding; the size of the party depends on how much the girl’s parents can afford.
On the night before the girl’s fifteenth birthday, a band plays in the evening outside her window. Then the day of her birthday arrives. First, the girl’s family, her godparents, and her attendants go to a religious ceremony in the church. The girl receives a bouquet of flowers and blessings and prayers that will help her live a strong life. Her parents are proud of their grown-up daughter, and they embrace her. Then she leaves the church with her attendants and goes to the hall for the special party. Before they go to the party, they pose for photographs.
The hall is beautifully decorated with flower, and it is full of guests. They wait for the girls and her family to arrive. The band plays music, and the party begins with a dinner. After the dinner, the girl dances the first dance with her father. Then the other attendants start to dance, followed by the guests. Everyone has a good time, and they all dance until midnight. It is day she will always remember.
