Personalize Quinceanera Favors

Your Quinceanera is such an important, once in a lifetime event that you're sure to cherish forever, so shouldn't your favors be just as memorable? Imagine giving your guests a permanent reminder of this wonderful day in your life that's just as unique and special as you are.

Before trying to decide on the many different types of favors available that would be suitable for a Quinceanera, as well as those that are also able to be personalized, you'll have to first choose a theme, or at least settle on a few color choices to use for decorating, for the invitations, and of course, for the ever important favors.

Once you've narrowed down your colors or choice of theme for the big event, you'll then have to consider your budget and how many guests you'll be inviting. This way you'll know exactly how much can be spent on each item and whether or not the sky's the limit or if you'll have to be a bit careful when choosing just the right favor.

You'll also want to be sure to order your favors as soon as possible to ensure there will be plenty of time for personalizing, which is definitely true if you'll be buying favors that need special attention like engraving or etching by hand. It's definitely better to early too soon than too late, especially if something goes wrong with your order or if you discover that you need to purchase a few more than you had originally planned.

You can never go wrong with Quinceanera favors such as picture frames or candles and candle holders. Candles with or without the holders can be wrapped in clear cellophane, spruced up with some flowers, and tied together with colorful ribbon.

Picture frames in many shapes, sizes, colors, and styles can be found to personalize, or simply choose a Quinceanera themed frame and add a picture of yourself to each before giving to the guests. Here are a few more ideas to consider for personalizing your favors:

- Candy bars, gum, or candies with your name, picture, or the date of your Quince on the wrapper

- Cookies, cakes, pastries adorned with your picture

- Engraved key chains

- Personalized notepads or stationery

- Personalized seed cards with your name on the card or ribbon

- Plain acrylic boxes in various shapes wrapped in personalized ribbon and filled with candy or potpourri

- Small, scented bath soaps

You can also purchase monogrammed boxes and containers to fill with smaller favors like candies. Or, simply use labels or tags with your name and date that you can print yourself with your own computer and printer. This idea will really lend a personalized touch to your Quinceanera favors since you'll be making some part of them yourself but without the need to spend a whole lot of money.

When you really stop and think about it, virtually any type of favor can be turned into your own unique gift to give your guests just by using your imagination and creativity. The main goal is to give people a small, memorable token of your appreciation that will remind them of both you and your special day every time they see their favor.
