Timeline for Stress-Free Quince Planning
Hola, my fellow Austinites! If you're planning a quinceañera in the Live Music Capital of the World, you know it's no small feat. From finding the perfect dress to booking the dream venue, there's a lot to consider. But fear not, because Party On Delivery is here to guide you through the process with our ultimate quince planning timeline.
As an Austin-based premium alcohol delivery service specializing in weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, boat parties, and corporate events, we've seen our fair share of quinceañera celebrations. Let us share our insider knowledge to help you create a stress-free, unforgettable event.
12-18 Months Out: Laying the Groundwork
The key to a smooth quinceañera is starting your planning early. Begin by choosing a date that works for your family and the special guest of honor. Avoid major holidays or busy seasons, as venues and vendors will be in high demand.
Next, start researching potential venues. Some of the most popular quinceañera locations in Austin include the Fairmont Austin, Brazos Hall, and the Oasis on Lake Travis. Be sure to tour the spaces, compare pricing and packages, and book your date as soon as possible.
9-12 Months Out: Assemble Your Dream Team
With your venue secured, it's time to start assembling your quinceañera dream team. This includes your photographer, videographer, DJ, and of course, your caterer and bartender.
For a truly memorable quince, consider hiring a professional event planner who can handle all the logistics and let you enjoy the celebration. Austinites rave about the services of Clink Events and Viva Bella Events.
As for catering and bar service, Party On Delivery is the perfect partner for your quinceañera. We offer premium beverage packages, including signature cocktails and non-alcoholic options, as well as full-service bartending.

6-9 Months Out: Dress Shopping and Guest List
It's time for the fun part – finding the perfect quince dress! Schedule dress shopping appointments at local boutiques like Bella's Bridal & Formal and Camille La Vie. Don't forget to bring your court and closest family members for their input.
With the dress secured, start finalizing your guest list. Consider how many people your venue can comfortably accommodate, and be sure to include your immediate family, court, and any other VIPs.
3-6 Months Out: Invitations and Details
Now that you have the big pieces in place, it's time to focus on the smaller details. Start designing your quinceañera invitations, and be sure to include all the important information like the date, time, and dress code.
Don't forget to book your Longhorn Charter Bus for guest transportation, especially if your ceremony and reception are at different locations. And if you're planning to incorporate any cultural traditions, like a religious ceremony or special dances, start choreographing and rehearsing.
1-3 Months Out: Final Preparations
As the big day approaches, it's time to finalize all the details. Confirm your vendor contracts, create a detailed timeline for the day, and make sure you have a plan for any last-minute emergencies.
If you're looking to treat your guests to something extra special, consider booking a Franklin Barbecue catering package or a party bus from Longhorn Charter Bus to kick off the festivities in style.
