Therefore, it is worth remembering that regardless of the theme chosen by the debutante, it is the organization of the 15th birthday party that will make everything perfect.

So, let's move on to the next step.

Setting a budget for your 15th birthday party

The first step in determining how much you can spend is to consider your monthly income.

Therefore, you may need to make some savings or even consider having an extra source of income just for this purpose or even a loan to be financed.

Ideally, you should do this before even making the budget for your 15th birthday party, because with this in mind, when it comes to researching and negotiating prices it will be easier if you have control over your budget.

Therefore, when planning your budget and knowing how much you intend to spend, consider the following points.

• Set a date and location for your 15th birthday party well in advance;
• Choose the services that will be offered at the party;
• Select the number of guests.

How to make the guest list

The guest list is usually one of the most difficult tasks at a 15th birthday party, and it's also a big factor when it comes to setting your budget.

Therefore, it is extremely important that the debutante carefully chooses her guests.

But how do you create your guest list? What criteria should you use? Don't worry, we'll help you with some tips.

• Set a number

The first step is to decide on the number of guests for the party.

However, to reach the ideal number, it will be important to understand what type of event you prefer, whether more intimate or something larger.

There may be some changes to this list during the organization process, but don't worry, this is normal.

Therefore, after stipulating a number, use the following criteria:

• Prioritize people who are truly part of the debutante's life and are extremely important to the family;
• Separate guests into groups, such as family, friends, school friends, course friends, close friends of parents, and so on.

Separating the list by categories allows you to have a better view and not forget anyone.

Choose the location and date

The main factor in choosing the location and date of your 15th birthday party is planning in advance.

Since you will need time to plan everything, this will allow guests to plan ahead and not miss out.

Another important factor is choosing the location, as you will need to take into account several factors, such as the venue's capacity, location, structure, and services offered.

Theme and decoration for the 15th birthday party

As mentioned above, there are some party styles that can be used as a guide for everything else, such as decoration and colors, for example.

However, there are no rules when it comes to choosing the color and decoration for a 15th birthday party, as long as it matches the theme and, most importantly, the debutante's taste.

But some tips can help you at this stage, such as:

• The most prevalent traditional party colors are blue, white, pink, gold or silver.

For themed or modern parties, warmer colors are preferred, creating a more relaxed atmosphere.

• Look for trends; fashion is constantly changing, so research references, models, and colors that are popular for this type of celebration.
• Choose a theme that highlights the debutante's personality, as there's no point in following a trend that doesn't reflect the essence of the birthday girl.

Select essential services

Another important step is to list the essential services that will be needed for the 15th birthday party, such as catering, photography, lighting, and a DJ.

It is important to evaluate the workforce offered by the services, such as waiters, security guards and valets.

Additionally, it's important to think about additional services the debutante might want, such as a photo booth, candy table, chocolate waterfall, among others.

It's worth remembering that, in addition to preparing quotes, it's also important to analyze reviews of the services, so look for recommendations or thoroughly research the suitability of the professionals.

Dress, hairstyle and makeup

Choosing the dress is extremely important, as is hair and makeup, as they will be the main focus of the 15th birthday party.

Therefore, analyze some aspects that can help you in this choice, such as color, fit, and especially the debutante's personality.

It is ideal that the dress is not only beautiful but also comfortable, so in the case of a debutante who likes to move, the dress should allow for more mobility to dance and enjoy every moment.

In the case of the more introverted debutante, the chosen dress may be the most exuberant, larger and full of embellishments, this will depend a lot on the debutante's personality as we have already mentioned.

Some debutantes even choose two dresses for their 15th birthday party, one for the celebration and another for a more relaxed moment, which is a good option for those on a budget.

Just like the dress, hair and makeup are no less important, so the first step is to choose a trustworthy professional with good reviews.

And choose the makeup and hair style you want, it can be more colorful, shiny or bold, it all depends on the theme and personality of the debutante.

Planning the 15th birthday party schedule

Keeping a schedule is very important, as party venues are hired for a specific time.

Therefore, it's ideal that you make a checklist with all the party planning and time for each activity, so you don't miss any important moments.

So separate the moments such as waltz, tributes, retrospective, toast, and so on.

A valuable tip is to avoid delays, this way important moments will be celebrated properly and without interruptions.

Invitations and souvenirs

Choosing the invitations and party favors is another important part of the debutante party, as it will be her “presentation” to the guests.

Therefore, the ideal is to think of a creative and personalized invitation, in the digital age, there are debutantes who prefer to make their invitations themselves, through applications that can help in the creation such as Canva, for example.

However, if you prefer, the invitation can be made by a specialized professional.

As for party favors, there are countless possibilities, and it's worth remembering that it will be something that people will take home from the 15th birthday party to remember the debutante fondly.

Therefore, one idea is to think of unique, creative options that can truly be a beautiful reminder of this important day.

Some ideas are:

• Box with marshmallows;
• Sleeping mask;
• Personalized soap or candle;
• Macarons in a box;
• Personalized moisturizer and soap kit;
• Keychain;
• Small plants or succulents, and much more.

Checklist and day of the 15th birthday party

Therefore, there are even applications that can help when organizing a 15th birthday party, just access the app store from your cell phone and see which one will best suit you.
