I don't know. Pinatas, tacos, hat dances, burritos, salsa, and whatever else it is that drives you Mexicans so crazy.

quinceanera
Some traditions observed in the celebration include the giving and throwing of a quince doll. The display doll signifies the young lady's last doll as a child and the throwing doll, usually a Barbie type, is thrown by the young lady to the other female children in attendance much as the garter is thrown in a wedding. The celebrant is wearing flats, or flat shoes for the celebration but after the inaugural dance the father of the young lady, who is sitting in a chair in the center of the dance floor, removes her flats (girls shoes) and puts her high heels on signifying her becoming a young lady.
The traditional color of a quinceañera's dress is white but now in modern cultures they are letting the girl pick the color (most girls want to wear a pink dress and save the white dress for their wedding) and they wear a tiara because she is a princess in God's eyes that night. She holds a court with 14 girls (damas) and 15 boys (chambelanes) which including herself would equal 30 people, or, 15 couples (to represent each year). At the party the court does a waltz and a surprise dance. The girl also dances with her father but first changes from flats to heels to represent the first time she can wear them ( the same with makeup). She could also get a doll with the exact same dress she has on to signify that this will be the last doll she ever will receive. In the past the party would show the girl is ready to be married, but now in today's culture it is so the girl can date.

At my daughters quince when it came to the doll exchange, when the damas give her a doll and the chambalans give the rose. We bought Barbie dolls and had the Damas give her the dolls and the following day we boxed the dolls up and they are put away for her daughters quince. Her roses were also dried and now hang in her room. My daughter wore a white dress and the colors were light blue and white. We made tamales all kinds even vegetable ones for those who don't eat meat. It was a party to end all parties. The only thing I want you to do at yours is make it you don't try to follow the footsteps of other girls make it your own that is what my daughter did. Buena suerte en su dia.

Many years ago when I was around that age the most memorable 15's were: a toga party i went to <- very fun; pajama party <- somebodys daughter very famous here had it. it was too cool; not sure if you want something formal? we went to one that was like old cuba and they had the best virgin mojitos and pina coladas. Hope you have a great time.
