The dresses for the girl attendants are in the same color and style as each other, but they are different from the birthday girl. 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 the cake. Many times, the cake is so big that it needs a special table. Next, the parents 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 quinceanera celebration can cost as much as a big wedding; the size of the party depends on how much the girl’s parents can afford.
