Tengo agradecimiento infinito hacia mis padres por traerme al mundo y por darme todo el cariño y amor del mundo. A mi mamá por ser no solo mi mamá pero tambien una amiga, y por guiarme hacia el buen camino. A mi papá por siempre animarme a seguir todas mis metas con determinacion y ánimo. A mis padrinos por ser un ejemplo para mi para ser una buena persona con un gran corazon. Muchas gracias a todos ustedes, son un ejemplo a seguir.

Mis metas para el futuro son terminar la high school con buenos grados e irme directamente a la universidad. Mi deseo es viajar por todo el mundo, diseñar vestidos de novia y empezar una un negocio de reposteria. Se que con ganas y determinacion todo se puede lograr.

EXPERIENCE: How long has he/she been doing this?Also, is this his/her full time job or just a hobby?

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE - Fun, formal,artisitic, journalistic, all the above, etc...

HONESTY - Is this the photographer that will be photographing your quinceañera or will they send in whomever is available. Don’t be shocked, this happens more often than you can imagine.

HIS PERSONALITY - Do you get along with him/her? Is there “chemistry”? If you don’t, it will show in your pictures.

APPEARENCE - Ask him/her what will wear the day of the event... NO JEANS PLEASE!!!

DELIVERY - How long does he/she take to deliver your album? Believe it or not, some of them take more than a year!

CONTRACT - Do you understand the contract? Make sure everything is written. Read it ALL.

REFERENCES - A personal reference is always the best and people love to talk. Get a list of references from the photographer and check them out personally. A photographer who doesn’t have references or is afraid to give them to you may not be the person that you want to hire.

TheYou’ve put so much time

and effort into planning your QUINCES you’ll want every

special moment captured for your photo album. But how do you know

which photographer is right for you? whether you’re considering

•ColorS: Find two colors that look good together. Try to pick out happy colors. With these colors you can base the invitations, flowers, center pieces, balloons, and decorations.

•YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE: If you have a favorite movie, you can have it as your theme. You can use your imagination for the decorations. If your favorite movie is “Alice in wonderland” you can have a giant mushroom with a catepillar somewhere in the room or you can have a smiling cheshire cat as part of your

decorations. As center pieces you can havelittle bottles that say “drink me”.

When picking a theme you should choose one that adds a personal touch to your party. A theme will make the party more fun for you and your guests. Having a theme will also make it easier to choose decorations .

There are millions of options for themes . All you have to do is find one that suits you. Here we have some examples , but for more information you can go to our website w w w. Q u i n c e a n e r a s M a g a z i n e .C O M

invitations

When you give someone an invitation it’s the first impression they will get of your party, and like everybody knows the first impression is always the most important. So make sure your invitations are what you want and match the theme of your party. There are many companies that make invitations and allow you to add a personal touch to your invitations (like SoloInvitaciones.com).

How many invitations should you buy?You can buy an invitation for every guest or an

invitation per family. Look through your invite list

and see how many invitations you should order.

who will the invitation be directed to? If it’s a couple it should be Mr. and Mrs. (last name).

If it’s a family it should be fam. (last name).

If it’s a friend it could be Miss (first and last name).

If it’s a guy friend you should put Mr. (first and last name).

If you are only inviting two or so people in a family you should direct it to them.

If it’s one person and you don’t know who their plus one is, you

should write Mr.(first and last name) and guest.

We know first hand that planning a quinceañera

isn’t easy . There is so much to figure out like who’s

gonna do your makeup? Where are you getting your

dress? Is it in your budget? What about the banquet

hall? Where are you getting the food from? And the

list goes on and you are not done there. You need to

figure out the order you need to start planning things.

Like, you can’t order your dress one month before your

quince. And you can’t start practicing for the vals 10

months before. It’s too early to even think about that.

Everyone knows that the most important part of your quinceañera

besides the dress is the music. for a good party you need good music

that will get your guests up and dancing. If the place you are having

your party at doesn’t include music and lighting, don’t worry, here are

some tips to figure out if you should have live music or a DJ.

vSSOME QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK THE DJ OR BAND:


(831) 320-8294www.boniphotography.com

[email protected]

“I love you not for you, but for who

I am when I’m with you.”

IT’S THE SAME wITH THE DRESS

EXCEpT IT wOULD BE…

“I LIKE IT NOT BECAUSE IT’S pRETTY,

BUT BECAUSE Of HOw I LOOK IN IT.”

The dress is one of the most important things that

you will buy while planning your quince, and there

are so many choices in stores, catalogs, on the

internet, expos, magazines, etc. But before you freak

out trying to find one, you should know what kind of

dress will look good on you. THIS wILL MAKE

fINDING THE pERfECT DRESS EASIER.

DressThe

NO TO:

It shouldn’t be too poofy , it will make you look like an umbrella!

It also shouldn’t be with allot of decorations along the waist . Since you may not have a long waist it will just call attention to your waist and make you look like you’re parted in half.

YES TO:Simple without too much decorations or complicated details.

It should be a two piece, with a skirt and corset. They should be the same color so they give you more of a longer figure. The corset should be long and end with a peak that way your body will look longer.

If YOU ARE SHORT.-

BIG CHEST AREA?

IT’S COMMON in latinas to be short so listen

up chiquita, cosita, chaparrita, pequeña,

or however they call you at home.

If the dress has plenty of design on the corset, it would call too much attention in that area.

Say no to a heart shaped corset. unless you like having a “look here” sign on

NO TO: YES TO:Say yes to dresses with lots of designs on the skirt like tulles and waves . It takes away attention from the bust area.

Dresses with a straight corset and preferably with a strap.

To a strapless dress. Unless the corset is straight.


wIDE HIpS?

If YOU ARE A XL: If YOU ARE SIZE “A”

If YOU ARE TALL AND THIN:

Bolero: it’s a little vest that goes with your dress and is usually just for the church.

Corset:the more expensive dresses come in two pieces and the corset is the top part. It helps give you a figure .

Recogido:these are details that go on the skirt. It’s like a gathering on the fabric or a design on different parts of the skirt.

Corset de corazon: a corset with a heart shaped neckline.

Chifon: smooth fabric. It’s common in quinceañera dresses.

DRESS TERMINOLOGY Whenyou’rebuyingadressthepeoplehelpingyouorthede-signerthemselveswillprobablyuseabunchofbigwordsthatyouhaveneverheardof,butweareheretohelp!Herearethemostcommonwordsandtheyredefinitions:

Organza: it’s the most common fabric in dresses; it’s smooth and fresh.

Shantung:Generally it’s made of silk, but there is also a synthetic version of it. This kind of material is expensive and not really worth it.

Tafeta:Also common in quinceañera dresses. It shines as you walk.

Tulle:A thin transparent fabric that helps give volume to the dress.It’s also common in quinceanera dresses.

¿QUIERES SABER SI ERES NEOLATINA?

contesta las siguientes preguntas:

POBLACIÓN MUNDIAL 6,968,811,873

HABLAN ESPAÑOL EN EL MUNDO 500,000,000

POBLACIÓN EN US 312,434,876

POBLACIÓN HISPANA EN US 50,500,000

Veamos…


Source: 2010 census www.2010.census.gov

De todas las personas que hay en el mundo 1 de cada 14 habla español.

De todas las personas que viven en U.S. 1 de cada 6 es hispano.

De acuerdo al censo 2010 que realizó el gobierno de U.S. la población Hispana creció 4 veces más rápido que la población total de Estados Unidos. Así que contestar SI a la pregunta 1 y 4 es algo relativamente común entre los habitantes de Estados Unidos.Pero, veamos la pregunta 2 y 3. Saber de dónde vienes es conocer tu país de origen, aceptarlo, hacerlo tuyo, platicar con la gente, visitar sus playas, bosques, desiertos, selvas, montañas y comer los platillos tradicionales. Una vez que hagas todo esto verás que estar orgullosa de tu país es facilísimo.

Ser educada significa obedecer a tus padres, ayudarlos, entenderlos y apoyarlos. Por el otro lado tener una buena educación significa que tengas buenas calificaciones en la escuela y además que leas y entiendas varios temas adicionales.

Hemos dicho que si tienes todo lo anterior apenas vas a la mitad del camino, porque…“A new national survey finds that Latinos between the ages of 16 and 25 are satisfied with their lives and optimistic about their futures. They value education, hard work and career success. But they are more likely than other youths to drop out of school, live in poverty and become teen parents.”*

Neolatina para nosotros es una mujer de entre 25 y 30 años, hispana, orgullosa de sus raíces. Ella habla, lee y escribe correctamente en inglés y español. Ha terminado sus estudios universitarios exitosamente y ahora trabaja en una empresa

importante con un puesto ejecutivo. Viaja al menos una vez al año fuera de Estados Unidos. Es una mujer admirada en su comunidad.

Sus padres están orgullosos de ella y siempre hablan de lo buena hija que es porque los visita

constantemente, los ayuda y apoya. Es una mujer que puede hablar de cualquier tema con cualquier persona, se maneja con confianza y tiene un buen sentido del humor.

Pues este es el mejor momento para empezar. Seguramente hoy tienes entre 13 y 16 años y estas a punto de terminar High School así que empieza a investigar a qué Universidad te gustaría asistir. Qué te gustaría estudiar y porqué. Ayuda a tus padres y sé más activa ayudando a tu comunidad. Pregúntate ¿qué quieres hacer de tu vida?, ¿cómo te ves cuando tengas 20 años? Diviértete con tus amigos pero respétate. Abre tu mente a otras culturas y sé más consciente del acontecer en otras partes del mundo.

¡Prepárate para ser la

próxima líder Latina!

¿Te gustaría ser Neolatina?

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS

Of GIfTS YOU CAN GIvE

AS RECUERDITOS...

At every quinceañera they give little gifts as a thank you for coming. favors, recuerdos, souvenirs, cositas are the same thing... At least, they have the same purpose. There are many kind of gifts you can

give. we recommend that you give something that goes along with your theme. Think about something cute and fun that your guests

would like. If it’s an edible goodie, it must be delicious. If it’s a souvenir, it must be something nice to keep.

Quinceañeras Magazine works because itreaches them in their niche, provides them with edi-torials they are interested in as a planning tool for their celebration, and also as the only local direc-tory of the most recognized vendors to provide their needs. It’s the perfect media mix.

Close your eyes and imagine this : Your are at the church walking down the aisle and it’s just quiet. You can hear your footsteps on the floor. It’s just an akward silence as everyone stares at you walking. Now imagine this: You’re at the church and walking down the aisle and the song “Ave Maria” is playing . There is no akward silence and no sounds of your footsteps . wHICH SCENE SOUNDS BETTER?

MANY CHURCHES OffER MUSIC fOR THE CEREMONY BUT If THEY DON’T YOU CAN GET MUSIC SEpARATELY.

BOTH HAvE TO BE DONE pERfECTLY! Having a nice hairdo and makeup is important, but make sure your guests can recognize you. You don’t want to go to your party and everyone is whispering who is she? why is she in her dress? Are we at the wrong party? So make sure you are not hiding under the makeup.

HAIR ANDMAKEUP

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

When you go for an appoinTment you should have:

ASK THE HAIRSTYLIST to make suggestions

on what kind of hairdo would complement your

face according to your shape and color.

when choosing hair and makeup it’s important

for you to be comfortable with your choices. Make

sure you feel confident and like a princess.

Also, make sure it’s you and not somebody else.
