Q : My damas don ' t want to wear the dresses I chose for them to wear for my quince . What do I do ?
From : @ estef186
A : Part of asking your friends to be your damas includes having them make the full commitment to the event ! Ask them their reasons for not wanting to wear the dresses that you have chosen for them . Are they comfortable in those dresses ? In the past , all damas would wear the same dress to be in a uniform fashion , but now it has become more common for each girl to choose their own style to fit their body as long as its the color of your theme and choice ! Maybe letting them choose their own dress can make them feel more excited and comfortable to be in your quince !
Q : Is it weird for a 17-year-old to have a Quinceañera / Sweet 16 party ?

A : Celebrating your birthday should always be a special moment ! Traditionally , we have spent years celebrating Quinceañeras when girls turn 15 years old and Sweet 16 for those turning 16 ! There is no reason to not celebrate your 17th birthday in a BIG way ! Many girls celebrate their 18th birthday as well as a coming of age time ! You can celebrate your 17th birthday or wait to do a big 18th birthday as you fully emerge into adulthood !
