Does anyone have any idea How I can get friends and family to participate in making purchase/s for some items for my daughter's quinceanera. I was thinking to print out a letter and offering them choices of things that we are in the need of help with & they can basically volunter for what they would like to do... But How would I go about writting the letter? Any Ideas?

And why is it their responsibility to pay for your daughter's things? I mean I might be missing something but as her mother I think you are the one to purchase anything she is needing.
I have been informed that I misunderstood the question. I am very sorry for my previous answer AND hope that your daughter has a wonderful day.

I agree with scoping out the talents of family members and asking them to help out by donating their time and services. Close friends and family should be approached informally. A simple phone call will do. I understand a quinceanera is a huge event in a girls life. There are so many resources out there now that make it really easy to pull off an extravagant party on a budget. I would try ebay and just type in quinceanera in the search box. Also, try this resource: http://www.myspace.com/quincelady
Let her know that Wedding Style Favors sent you.
Good Luck to You.

LOL blondedoctor! you really need to get a new hair color & chill!!
Anything written can be greatly misinterpreted- just look at history! You would do better aproaching them personally and genuinely asking for their assistance. But at the same time, remember your 15th, what was more important: the party or the company? Make sure your daughter is surrounded in love and the rest becomes a blur.

I dont know, sorry, what a quinceanera is... but I take it is important in you childs life..... ok, you can do what some ppl do about weddings.... make the help the gift from that person that helps..... pick and choose who you can trust not to get offended and will want to help.... like aunts and uncles and grandparents, god parents and the like...... then just straight out ask them if they would be willing to help..... in person , NOT in a letter.... call each person and just ask them.... then on their invite, put in a big thank you for their gift...... make a big deal out of their help.... be grateful and apreciative about it....... God bless

The custom of having padrinos/madrinas and esponsores makes it possible for there to be a larger array of donated gifts and services. Family members who are seamstresses, musicians, drivers of limousines, florist shop workers, cooks, bakers and photographers often donate their services as gifts. The church decorations, food and music for the fiesta, are often provided by family and friends.

I wouldn't write a letter -- I would talk to some family, not friends, and see if anyone would like to help out in lieu of a gift.

Since it is your daughter shouldn't you pay for it?
I don't think it is right to ask others to help pay for it. If you can't afford the quiceanera yourself then she doesn't have one. Or do a low key verison that you can afford.
Good luck!
