Each year in the United States, 400,000 Latina girls turn 15 and many will commemorate this important birthday with a quinceanera -- a celebration of the young woman and a recognition of her journey from childhood to maturity. The celebration highlights God, family, friends, music, food, and dance, and includes a ceremony and reception that can be as important, and as expensive, as the average wedding. Sadlier's Quinceanera Planner and Keepsake includes information about the history of quinceanera, a getting started section, and sections for planning both a ceremony and a reception or fiesta. While it recognizes the material aspects of the quinceanera, the planner and keepsake emphasizes the spiritual aspects of this celebration, and offers opportunities for the quinceanera to reflect on what it means to be a mature, gracious, and celebrated young woman. The Quinceanera Planner and Keepsake also includes helpful planning charts, timelines, checklists, and invaluable tips along the way. While the costs for the quinceanera may be a large family investment, this planner and keepsake is a must-have to keep costs and plans in order and ensure a successful and memorable event. It is a true value at $24.99 and also makes a perfect gift.
