your advantage . If you are incorporating the tradition from girl to woman , you can use your younger cousins or siblings .

They can help pass out your favors or even do a special dance with them !

Anonymous to have a joint Quinceañera to spare extra expenses to your family ! The decision is completely up to you and I think you both can show your individuality during the party .

As we know , Quinceañeras can become very expensive , very quick so any way that you both can cut some expenses would be great for your family . I am sure they will appreciate it very much ! You can choose to follow the traditions or create new ones . Your party will be unique and a memorable time no matter what you decide !
Q : Is it okay to have damas pick their own chambelanes , since I do not know many guys ?

A : If you do not know many guys , it is totally ok to have your damas choose them or you can do a full damas court . We are used to seeing the tradition of having both damas and chambelanes but it ’ s 2021 and you can have just girls participate . It might be more comfortable for you to plan the dance and dress shopping experience with all girls . If you do not have a main chambelan , remember you can always ask a cousin or brother !
