Sweet Sixteen birthday parties have been popular in the USA and Canada for several decades. A coming of age party (usually for girls) signifies a young lady\u2019s first steps into adulthood. And while the celebrations may vary from a casual house party to a blowout black tie affair, they are generally the same. A birthday party, a milestone to be sure, but a birthday party nonetheless (not that\u2019s there anything wrong with that!!). But there are not really any customs, rites or rituals specific to a Sweet Sixteen as associated with many other coming of age parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many believe the Sweet Sixteen party evolved from the Quinceanera, a Hispanic celebration when a girl turns fifteen. While also a birthday party, the Quinceanera has both religious and cultural implications that a standard birthday doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15th_Birthday_Party_Ideas_for_Girls_%E2%80%93_What_is_a_Quinceanera\"><\/span>15th Birthday Party Ideas for Girls \u2013 What is a Quinceanera?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinceanera translates (almost literally) to \u201cshe who is fifteen\u201d and is known as a girl\u2019s coming out party, marking the transition from childhood to adulthood. And more than just a party, a traditional Quinceanera begins with a religious ceremony at her church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accompanied by her Court of Honor, her parents and godparents, la Quinceanera (the guest of honor) is garbed in a beautiful white gown to signify her innocence. And although customs differ from country to country, the Catholic celebration includes a thanksgiving mass. During the mass la Quinceanera is usually presented with a rosary or religious pendant by her godparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15th_Birthday_Party_Ideas_for_Girls_%E2%80%93_Quinceanera_Traditions\"><\/span>15th Birthday Party Ideas for Girls \u2013 Quinceanera Traditions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many rites that involved with a traditional Quinceanera. They may include (but are not limited to!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Court of Honor<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Chosen from the la Quinceanera\u2019s circle of friends and close family. The Court of Honor was traditionally comprised of 7 girls and 7 boys paired off but can be an all girl or all boy court of honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Changing of the Shoes<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 The father (or if the father is not present, a close male relative) ceremoniously changes la Quinceanera\u2019s flat shoes to high heels. This symbolizes her transformation from a child to a young woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Last Doll<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Depending on the culture, the last doll may be part of the ceremony or used as a decoration. In other cultures the last doll represents the final childhood gift before entering adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15th_Birthday_Party_Ideas_for_Girls_%E2%80%93_The_Party\"><\/span>15th Birthday Party Ideas for Girls \u2013 The Party<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although by definition a 15th birthday party, a Quinceanera includes the above traditions as well as some specific speeches, toasts and dancing (including a father\/daughter dance and one by la Quinceanera and her court).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once tradition has been adhered to, anything goes! Dictated by what kind of party la Quinceanera and her parents want, a Quinceanera is like many rituals, as big and grand, or as intimate and low key as the hosts and guest of honor prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the ages we have celebrated rites of passage, marking the occasions with family, friends and food. A Quinceanera combines those with tradition, religion and customs, making for a memorable time for all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15th birthday party ideas for girls and this time something a little more unique.
