Quinceañera?
DH and I have been invited to attend a Quincea?era for DH's boss' daughter. I will admit to knowing next to nothing about it other than it is a coming of age type celebration. Can any of you enlighten me on what is traditionally done? It sounds like it is going to be quite the party and I'm excited to go - just don't have a clue if it is a gift giving occasion, a money occasion, just a party, a dress up-able event (wedding attire dressed up), etc. I don't want to say yes to going and not understand what we're celebrating. 
Re: Quinceañera?
Money is the best gift. YES! You have to dress up--the honoree will be wearing an almost-wedding dress.
What you're celebrating: a girl turning into a woman. Obviously, her 15th. It's like a sweet 16 but a billion times better. Prior to the party, there is (usually) a religious ceremony. During the party, there will be a march--the honoree and her attendants all have escorts they'll march with. They'll do a special dance together as well. In the program, you will probably see a list of sponsors--for the food, dj, reception hall, etc. There will be a lot of food and dancing. Going back to the clothes: you must dress to impress. Must, must, must. The end. Sorry this is such a ramble.
I have never been in to Quince and Juan's family doesn't do them
. PLEASE post pictures!!
Munkii - if you have some of yours I would LOVE to see them!

All of this. Plus this is a really big day for her parents as well. Particularly for the religious portion of the ceremony. The celebration afterwards is much like a wedding reception. That kind of grandeur. And definitely expect everyone to be dressed up.
I don't have any. Rather than my mom asking both of us our opinions on this tradition, she only ask my twin. My twin said she wasn't interested, and, apparently, my opinion didn't count.
I love your new siggy pic!!
You have to remember it's an old tradition.
Girls still get married really young in some parts of Mexico.
